Trainer:

Tom Mc Dermott

In a career spanning 35 years Tom noticed that routine tasks conducted daily in hospitality businesses can include 30% – 50% inefficiency!

Very few hospitality businesses use proven methodologies such as LEAN and Six Sigma to reduce waste and develop more consistent and efficient processes so this creates a clear opportunity.

Tom began his career straight from school at Dublin College of Catering, Cathal Brugha Street in 1987. Since then, Tom has worked internationally for Starwood, Cunard, Radisson and subsequently Hilton where he led their innovative “Operational Excellence” continuous improvement programme across Europe, Middle East & Africa.

Tom believes a hospitality business that embraces a continuous improvement mind-set creates a lighter, more collaborative, and productive workload for team-members, higher levels of satisfaction for guests, and more value for owners.
