As the premier supply chain IT services expert, C5MI Insight LLC has been making waves since its inception in 2017. Known for our comprehensive approach to improving business processes, we have carved a niche by offering end-to-end solutions integrating process excellence advisory with full-scale technological implementation.
Our History
Founded by Don Young and Derek Dyer, we are committed to revolutionizing business operations in the manufacturing and supply chain sectors. Don, a former naval officer with 22 years of service, spent 12 years at Caterpillar Inc.® in various roles before co-founding and leading C5MI Insight LLC as CEO. Our president and co-founder, Derek, brought over 22 years of experience from John Deere®, Caterpillar Inc.®, and Accenture® to the table before C5MI. Their combined expertise forms the foundation of our core principles, reflected in our name.
Core Principles and Values
C5MI encompasses our five core principles: Command, Control, Compute, Communicate, and Collaborate. In addition to these principles, our staff live our core values daily, which define who we are as a business. These values guide our approach and empower us to drive innovation and achieve extraordinary results at C5MI Insight LLC.
- Challenge: We believe in challenging the present — the only way to shape the future. We must be exceptional communicators and collaborators while constantly learning. We also understand that speaking your mind requires equal parts brain (what to say), thoughtfulness (when to say it), and caring (how it’s said). Incremental won’t win.
- Have Fun: We are on a journey together. Take care of each other. Life isn’t all about work. Live your happiness. Be healthy.
- All In: You can’t fake passion — show your energy. Own it — it is a shared responsibility. Our team is made up of top-quartile talent. We never accept the second best and remain focused on creating an environment to realize the team’s potential.
- Never Screw The Customer: We have walked a mile in your shoes. Experience matters. Be accurate – no BS. Delighted Customer > Team > Individual. Bends don’t break; partnerships are crucial, and at C5MI Insight LLC, we choose partners, not just clients.
- Get Stuff Done (GSD): We take the initiative. Winners don’t make excuses. We act with urgency. We are aligned with the process, constantly improving, and audit-ready. We take accountability, relentlessly execute, and swarm challenges while planning for tomorrow. That is how we win!
- Environmental / Sustainability Stewardship: Evangelists and practitioners of efficiency who lead awareness and adoption of environmental and sustainability best practices by merging people, processes, and technology.
