By David Houston Diatikar

Let’s take a moment to explore the story behind the name—David Houston Diatikar. Where did I come from? What experiences shaped my values, goals, and mindset? And why might you want my help, coaching, or perspective?

This blog is where I share observations, lived experiences, and a vision shaped by decades of transformation—from the world of mass manufacturing to Lean, Six Sigma, Lean-Agile, and now Business Agility.

Here, you’ll find real case stories—mistakes made, lessons learned, and the pivots that moved the needle. My intent is to pass on what took years to discover, so you can get there faster and with fewer detours.

The truth is, the future belongs to those who know how to think, observe, test, and co-create. Yes, tools and methods matter. But when the vision changes—as it often does—you’ll need the skills to adapt with it. That’s where true value lies.

The last five years have changed life more than the previous thirty combined. Many of us were trained from birth to be self-sufficient—believing that asking for help showed weakness or poor leadership. But that strategy doesn’t work anymore. Now, it’s less about knowing everything, and more about asking better questions.

This blog is a platform for:

• Shared learning from failures and wins
   
• Case stories from past and present transformation efforts
   
• Insightful thinking about leadership, adaptability, and continuous improvement
   
• Community wisdom—because the best ideas come from dialogue, not monologue
   

As a visitor here, you’re part of a growing and thoughtful community. I invite you to join the conversation. Share what worked. Share what didn’t. Share what surprised you.

Let’s help each other get it right faster—and stay aligned to a vision that evolves with us.

Thank you for being here. Let’s keep learning forward.
