Dr. Charlie Barton

Welcome to The Sustainable Profitability Academy.


Discover straight forward, pragmatic, and practical solutions to building, operating, and growing your business (life hacks included).


Are you tired of reinventing the wheel every time you encounter a problem?

Then you've come to the right place.

You're not going to find a bunch of confusing, convoluted, need-a-rocket-science-degree to use tools. [If you do, tell me. I've messed up somewhere.]



Why work with me?

First. I am a coach. I meet you where you are (neurodivergents are welcome) and help you gain the skills and knowledge to take you to where you want to go.

Second. I am a globally recognized expert. I've an MBA underpinning my PhD, so I "get" the business of business.

Third. I don't do BS. Sustainable profitability is not magic. It IS Know-How.


Join me and let's make our world a better place through sustainable (and profitable) business practices.





Hi, I’m Dr. Charlie, The Process Improvement Doctor.


My Mission: Provide people with the tools to make positive changes in their organizations, families, and communities.


My Masters in Business Administration provided a grounded real-world framework for my doctoral work. My research findings on sustainable process improvement are in use throughout the globe (77 countries as of 2024).


I've spoken nationally and locally on topics related to sustainable profitability, including the ASQ World Conference on Quality in 2018 and the Society for Compliance & Ethics in 2024.


Let's work together. Your vision and my expertise.
