My predecessors articulated “Need will be the real creator”—“ Mater artium necessitas”, as well as “Hunger makes people resourceful”. Accordingly, I contend necessity breeds innovation. I lost my eye-sight at sixteen, and my need to be creative became amplified. I was a motivated high school dropout with an eagerness to succeed. I have over 20 years experience with extensive work in performance management, learning and development programs, workforce restructuring, leadership development, and continuous process improvement. I have proven experience in strategy development and facilitating strategic momentum.Core Competencies • Human Resource Management/Organizational Development/Performance Measurement• Continuous Process Improvement (Total Quality Management)• Leadership Training and Development (Capacity Building)• Presentation Design and Delivery• Strategic and Risk Management • Research Design, Data Collection, Data Analysis and Reports• System Integration• Analysis tools-- TOWS, Force Field Analysis, TQM, DISC• Contract Development and Maintenance• Delivery System Creation• Import Logistics and Management of Inventory• National Chain DistributionPast Performance• Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, Family Service System Reform (FSSR) Scope: Build local cross-system collaborative infrastructures that encourage community-based planning and systems improvement, foster meaningful parent/citizen involvement and share responsibility and accountability for improving child and family outcomes.• Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Programs, Community Prevention Collaborative Scope: Build or expand collaborative structures within the communities to address alcohol and substance abuse by young people and the community, utilizing a science-based approach to programming.
