About KID-CAN Consulting Inc.
Practical, collaborative, and results-focused continuous improvement.
Our Story
KID-CAN CONSULTING INC. was founded on a simple belief: continuous improvement should be practical, data-driven, and accessible to organizations of all sizes.
After years of leading and facilitating improvement initiatives in Alberta’s oil field and construction sectors, we recognized a gap — teams needed real, hands-on support to understand their processes, eliminate waste, and solve the right problems.
KID-CAN was created to bridge that gap.
We work directly with your teams, helping you visualize, analyze, and improve how work gets done — one step at a time.
Our mission is to create clarity, build capability, and deliver measurable results through collaboration and by following a structured improvement process.

Our Values
Clarity
Improvement begins with understanding. We make problems visible and help teams see challenges clearly.
Collaboration
Real improvement happens when people work together. We engage teams at every level to solve problems as a unit.
Capability
Our goal isn’t to fix problems for you — it’s to build your team’s confidence and skill to solve them independently.
Integrity
We approach every engagement with honesty, transparency, and a commitment to do what’s right for the client.
Results
Every session, tool, or workshop is designed to deliver measurable impact — not just documentation or theory.
