I am a co-author of the book "Strategic Doing - Ten Skills for Agile Leadership", a #1 Amazon New Release in 6 categories. The book summarizes work I have completed over 25 years. Since 1993, I have been developing new, network-based models for strategy in open, loosely connected networks. These approaches emphasize the strategic value of focused collaboration and innovation in today's global economy. I have developed a new discipline called Strategic Doing to accelerate these collaborations that is now widely used across the U.S. and is now gaining attention internationally. We continue the development of this discipline through the Agile Strategy Labs at the University of North Alabama, the University of Puerto Rico and Purdue University Prior to starting this work, I worked for Telesis, a corporate strategy consulting firm. In this position, I served on consulting teams for clients such as Ford Motor Company, Volvo and General Electric. I conducted manufacturing cost studies in the U.S., Japan, Mexico, Canada, Italy, Sweden and France.I started my professional career in Washington, D.C., serving as a legislative assistant to an Ohio Congressman, staff attorney in the Federal Trade Commission and staff counsel in the U.S. Senate. I received a B.A. degree cum laude with honors in African Studies from Yale University and M.B.A. and J.D. degrees from the University of Virginia.
