​

For Christopher Adams, driving efficiency isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. As the founder of Absolute Value Online Solutions and a senior operational excellence specialist at Indiana University Health, he stands at the intersection of lean transformation, leadership development, and digital entrepreneurship. With 20 years of experience in manufacturing and healthcare, he has built a career on optimizing processes, reducing waste, and pioneering innovative business solutions.

​

Christopher’s expertise spans operations leadership, quality management, data analysis, organic business performance growth, continuous improvement, change management, Six Sigma, digital marketing, and blockchain technology. His true differentiator is his ability to identify inefficiencies and design lean transformation strategies. “Not too many lean professionals have led a full-scale transformation within an organization,” he notes. “I’ve done it twice.”

​

At Sullair Corporation, he spearheaded a lean transformation that led to its advance from ACE Bronze to Silver. During the pandemic, he played a key role in designing one of Indiana’s first COVID-19 vaccine clinics, and his work at IU Health led to a 50% reduction in chemotherapy appointment time lag. At C&D Technologies, his improvements led to the reduction of millions of dollars in scrap waste.

​

In efforts to fulfill the core mission of Absolute Value Online Solutions, he is leveraging his expertise in lean process improvement to help businesses develop effective lean deployment strategies and individuals monetize their skills, talents and passions through digital entrepreneurship. Based in West Lafayette, IN, Absolute Value Online Solutions offers coaching, mentorship, and digital resources designed to empower success in the digital era. Christopher also shares his insights in his book, The Pursuit of Excellence: The Story of a Lean Process Improvement Professional.
