Areas of Interest
Transformational Leadership
Developing long-term organisational excellence is key. By promoting listening above talking, the leader consciously crafts an environment where everyone is empowered to create real results and sustainable improvements. Similar to the best classrooms, each individual earns ownership of vital skill sets as the leader scaffolds supports and resources for the institution’s journey.
Data Science
Long-term, incremental, and sustainable gains are achievable by taking an honest look at data. Using R, SQL, and secure clouds, it is possible to release near-time visualisations across an organisation, so every partner understands the past, present, and future of key performance indicators. On-message, team cohesion is vital to tap combined creativity and work-product, and good data science supports an information rich environment.
Aspirations
With a strong background in developing and implementing organisational excellence and strategic quality, meaningful opportunities to shepherd effective operational enhancements are welcome. For the short-term this includes working on multidisciplinary groups while long-term goals include serving on upper leadership teams supporting broad organisational success efforts.
