How I Might Be Able to Assist

I consider myself a scholar-practitioner with expertise in and having studied, written about, and taught many of the topics pertinent to business operation. I have 20+ years of business consulting experience, engaging in organizational design and effectiveness. I have in the classroom (physical and virtual) brought this background into the student’s learning experience. I like to say that using the various hues of this wide experience I paint a picture of real-world work life upon which students can picture how the theories and concepts of study are actually applied. Contact me on any aspect of designing, aligning and developing organizations!
