Founder and Principal
A Deeper Journey about the Founder
The Enghøldt Group and the Engholdt Family has a legacy of problem solving. Founder Kevin Engholdt comes from a family of professional problem solvers and inventors. Kevin fell into the consulting world completely by accident when working for a pharmaceutical company and solving some of their efficiency and effectiveness problems. Classically known as process engineering, his career began to morph into something quite more. Kevin was hand picked to be part of a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt program in 2003 and was trained by the Six Sigma Academy, the original Six Sigma Training center, led by the Six Sigma Management Institute and Mikel Harry, PhD, co-creator of Six Sigma. It was there that he discovered what he was doing innately, had a formal set of methodologies by which problems could be solved more effectively and efficiently. Kevin was certified as Lean Six Sigma Black Belt in 2006, finished his MS (Biotechnology), MBA, and received Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt Certification and Training by Arizona State University from Doug Montgomery, PhD, (Dr. Harry's PhD mentor) and Intel Corporation. Kevin has Executive Management training in Strategy and Innovation from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is currently pursuing his Doctoral Degree in Business Administration from Pepperdine University.
This training and diverse experience then lead Kevin down an entrepreneurial path as many of the improvements to processes could be formal companies, with the right framework. He has adopted his Operational Excellence methods to company creation, using Lean Startup and Business Model Generation as a base framework. He has started 6 companies, author to 2 patents and has a deep passion for problem solving. His clients have started over 12 companies and 8 successful exits.

6. Methods of Relieving Pain (K. Engholdt, pending)
What's in a Logo?
For The Enghøldt Group, everything has meaning and purpose. The logo is no different.
It is a nod to "creative art and engineering brilliance in one"
One of the most historic and creative artists of our time is M. C. Escher, who was was a Dutch graphic artist who made mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. His work features mathematical objects and operations including impossible objects, explorations of infinity, reflection, symmetry, perspective, truncated and stellated polyhedra, hyperbolic geometry, and tessellations. One of his most known pieces of abstract symmetry is called the "Impossible Cube." The "Impossible Cube" was the model for a world reknown "Belvedere" lithograph of a building that is an impossible object.
One of the most brilliant engineering minds of our time is Douglas Montgomery, PhD, of Arizona State University. The creator of Six Sigma, Mikel Harry, PhD, studied under Dr. Montgomery and created a transformative way of thinking about the world. He took Dr. Montgomery's applied engineering tools and combined them with unique business problem methodologies that can be taught to the masses. A new way of thinking about the world around us was created. One of the capstone engineering methods for thinking about problems and systems is Design of Experiments (DOE). In Design of Experiments, the world can be broken down to a very simplistic Y=F(x) equation, for everything, anywhere. In this way of thinking all problems are solvable. Anything can be optimized, improved upon, and create breakthrough results.
In effect, making the "Impossible" truly possible and driving catalytic change. The basic Design of Experiments quantifies the Y=F(x) into a 3D Cube design where the "surface" is the optimal plane of whatever you are trying to solve (e.g. revenue, operating costs, world hunger, cancer, beauty, etc.).
Data descriptions are no longer needed, but a way of thinking of -1 and +1.
Classical engineering methods applied to innovation and decision making can carry incredible opportunities for improvement. The "E" in Enghøldt Group has been modified into an M. C. Escher cube with the center line embedded into the "possible" cube articulating the center points in a DOE design.
In effect, our logo is "... a nod to 'creative art and engineering brilliance in one' "
