About BridgeGap

Jason didn't set out to spend a career studying how organizations work under pressure. In 1991, at twenty, he was hired into the Quality Assurance department of a Japanese automotive manufacturer in El Paso. There he found a box of forgotten QC circle materials from Japan, asked permission to try something, and within eighteen months was escorting a team from one of the largest manufacturing facilities in North America to an international QC circle competition at the company's headquarters in Japan.

That pattern, notice what's being overlooked, ask the right questions, and build something useful, has run through more than three decades of work in manufacturing, transactional services, defense, biosurety programs and international development. He has led improvement efforts and taught Lean, Six Sigma and project management on factory floors, in call centers and mortgage operations, on military installations in the United States and overseas, and in post-conflict economies, including five engagements in Iraq beginning in Baghdad in 2008.

He contributed to the seventh edition of the PMBOK® Guide and has served as a Trusted Business Advisor within the NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership.

Jason convened the IDEA Standard and serves as a contributing member of the Council for Enterprise Advancement. He's the author of A Box of Chaos, written as J.D. Farley, and the creator of Vsont, the AI-native governance navigation center.
