About

I'm a best-selling author, a business strategy adviser, and content creator for the industrial world. I've studied more than 300 companies in my work at Forbes and in my own Substack columns, and I use what I've learned to help manufacturers optimize their businesses. I advise industrial clients on both tactical and strategic improvements. Please check out my Cosgrove Content and Consulting page here on LinkedIn for more details. Here are the services I provide: Strategic: - M&A strategy and execution - Board membership or executive advisory focused on revenue growth - Executive coaching: developing the team you need to win - Future-proofing your industrial operation with technology and training that stand the test of time Tactical: - Continuous improvement that works and sticks: optimize your factory floor - Effective workforce development - CapEx planning for longevity and growth My book *We Need One of These! How Competitive Robotics Enhances Public Education and Changes Kids' Lives* topped the Amazon charts for books about robotics and for STEM education. I've had over a MILLION AND A HALF page views at Forbes.com, where I write about all things manufacturing. I’m the host of Manufacturing Talks, my web show and podcast about the people making things happen in the industrial world. The stories they tell have tremendous business lessons for everybody, no matter what it is you do. And their collective wisdom and experience, added to my own decades of tenure in manufacturing, inform my insights for my clients. That's because I tell the stories of our producers - the ones who work in the rubber-meets-the-road world of manufacturing. There's no faking it there - you're either making stuff successfully or you're not. I'm an advocate for American manufacturing, the backbone of so many of our communities, both rural and urban, and a mainstay of a healthy economy and a strong nation. I've spent a whole career seeing amazing things happen up close and personal in the production world. Now I study and write about all those things in every corner of manufacturing.
