To truly understand the value Mariann brings to an organization, one has to do a simple comparison: is my work life easier and more productive after Mariann's involvement than it was before?  The answer to which is self-evident for anyone who has worked with her.  Mariann understands process improvement and process management better than anyone else I have known in my long career. Her innate ability to show you a better way to get from point A to point B is a remarkable talent, particularly when applied to attorneys who are often pulled in many directions that can dilute efficiency.
