Founder
Phil Ranck is a Pennsylvania native, who decided after graduation from high school to join the United States Army. Serving 24 years on active duty status provided him the opportunity to live and work in a number of different states and counties, which set the foundation for working with process improvement. During Philโs service as a Warrant Officer, his ambitious nature enabled him to earn his Bachelors degree in Military Management and program acquisition, with a concentration in contracting from American Military University (โ10) and his Master degree in Transportation and Logistics Management from American Military University (โ14). With the combined knowledge of military experience and formal education, it was clear that implementing change in the logistics field of the US Army is best accomplished using a clear process; leading to becoming a Certified Department of the Army Master Black Belt and soon after an IASSC, ASQ, and CSSC Certified Black Belt.
Lean Alaska was formed in 2019 out of an overwhelming desire from individuals and businesses in Alaska who are seeking to advance their professional growth, development, and credentialing. Lean Alaska initially began as a Lean Six Sigma training program only, but quickly appreciated the positive impacts of a fused methodology training and consulting program. Lean Six Sigma is the core of the program and is based on the body of knowledge (BOK) that comprises the 4 major Lean Six Sigma Accreditation Certifications. Those are IASSC, ASQ, DOD, and CSSC. In addition to these internationally accepted programs, elements of other methodologies have been interwoven into the program. Design Thinking is a user-centric, innovative approach to problem solving. Business Process Re-engineering is geared toward software development and implementation as it applies to problem solving. The foundation of Change Management that drives executive support and culture development enable these approaches to be possible. Every problem is unique, as is the path to problem resolution. Lean Alaska strives to create a culture of process improvement in individuals and organizations that drives positive outcomes and collaborative team effort. This starts with training to create a common understanding of the tools and how to use them; enhanced with mentorship and consulting to demonstrate the capability to use them. We want our students and clients to be able to recognize opportunities as they happen and apply process improvement tools as a preventative measure.
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) plays a vital role in today’s business environment. It places focus on inefficiencies – waste caused by defects and eliminates non value-added flow of information or materials, data storage, stacks of inventory, overproduction and extra processing. With Lean Six Sigma’s proven techniques, business managers have the skills to find, fix, and finalize efficiencies to save time and money and improve your organization abilities at best value. Lean Six Sigma is important for businesses and individuals due to its analytically-based methodology that continues to optimize today’s resources.

“The Vets2PM program has a Cost/Benefit superior to other training productsย on the market. As I gained further knowledge and exposure to the program I learned that Vets2PM is a support group as well as a community of learners.”
“A must-take course for transitioning veterans pursuing a project management career. Vets2PM breaks down the civilian language barrier and translates the terminology for vets to better understand.”
“The Vets2PM Course and training materials are invaluable in learning PMIโs Project Management concepts. More importantly, the course focuses on helping you “understand the material” and laying the foundation that assists you in becoming a better Project Manager.. The course helped me tremendously in passing the PMP exam! I give the course an A+!!”
“Cathy is amazing, that is all I can say. For months I have applied to many jobs and had no luck. Only weeks after Cathy helped me with my resume, I got few interviews lined up. And a month later, I received my first offer. Can’t thank Cathy enough, well, I did call her over the phone to tell her how grateful I am. Thank you Cathy Walters Miclat!”
“Overall, great experience. You guys are the full package, from VetStone, making the PMI application simple, the course, a great instructor, the resume program, and the future career services, you guys are a full service transition assistance program! Thanks for what you do, and I look forward to working with you guys in the future.”
“I took my PMP exam today and Passed!!! Hereโs what I did; I took Vets2PM’s boot camp, completed the application, scheduled to test right after the class, studied using the included exam simulator for 6-weeks (3x full tests taken with 75.5%, 78%, and 80%; 1,358 questions answered total), used the boot camp notes, practiced brain dump to include equations until mastered, took the test, and passed the FIRST time.
I appreciate your instruction as Iโm 100% positive that without the Vets2PM boot camp and included question data-base access, I would NOT have passed.ย It was still a challenge!!”
“I would definitely recommend this course and I already have. I’m talking about this course to a few Marines I know and I hope they sign up for it. The more education we can give to each other as veterans, the more likely we will become successful. I appreciate this course and what it represents. I think our training to become leaders is valuable and this course translates it in a way that we can take those skills to the civilian world.”
“I have been in so many technical classes butย VETS2PM has been, by far, one of the best experiences I have ever had in a course. What separates you from the rest is the fact I can relearn the objective with the online links we have for a year to go over something I might not understand. I love Mr. Dennis he is defiantly someone I would have loved to work for in the military he was awesome. I have and will recommend Vets2PM to all my coworkers and whoever else I can to let them know what an amazing experience you guys provide.”

“I thought Vets2PM was just another training company…boy was I wrong. Vets2PM by far exceeded their word and my expectations even two years after I completed the course.ย Their staff constantly reached out to me and sent employment opportunities…there is no doubt in my mind this was a major motivator in obtaining my certification with an overall above target!!!ย Thanks to Eric “Doc” Wright and everyone at Vets2PM.”
“Vets2PM โdelivered the mailโ during Italyโs COVID-19 โlockdownโ. The Project Management Professional Boot Camp provided the critical link between my military experience and a successful future PM careerโฆOutstanding!”
