    Looking for an organizational development position
    Dear Colleagues:

    Here's your opportunity to add an asset to your team: a seasoned change agent with an extensive background in organizational development/innovation, change management/culture change, strategic planning, and training; a George Land World Class Innovator Award recipient; and an Innovation University Fellow.

    I'm proud to have been a key player on teams that developed and led processes that included complex change initiatives operating on many levels, such as:

    * Creating the organizational culture, developing external consulting packages as a second revenue stream for a .com startup.

    * Taking one of the largest NFP organizations in Chicago (35 locations; 5,000 employees) from 20 years in the red to 5 in the black; from 20 years of membership losses to 5 of double digit increases; and from a "legacy organization" to national recognition for innovation while more than doubling its budget to over $100,000,000/year and more than tripling its number of people served to over 1,000,000/year.


    * Reducing production R & D time for a custom plastics extrusion company by up to 50% through knowledge management recommendations.

    * Substantially reducing error rates and increasing accountability by developing job descriptions and procedures for a major messenger service. Significantly increasing productivity at that firm through the design of a transfer point at the edge of downtown.


    I have led large and small scale turnaround and culture change initiatives as both an internal and an external OD practitioner. I am one of very few people trained in implementing Dee Hock's Chaordic Theory, and I have developed a new organizational diagnostic tool, the "Molecular" Model (see my article at: http://www.virtualstrategist.net/Issue5/5-2-1.HTM). For several years, I maintained a consulting practice specializing in the areas of training, organizational development/effectiveness, methods and procedures analysis and design, and the Targeted Jobs Tax Credit (TJTC). I have always dedicated this wealth of experience toward enhancing growth and profit through increased organizational health.

    I have performed organizational studies and needs assessments of small to medium sized companies; designed and facilitated focus groups and training, communications, team building, creativity/innovation, management and strategic planning workshops for all levels of staff and management; developed policies and procedures; and supervised, hired, and fired up to 60 staff. I have also written training manuals, job descriptions, and operating procedures.

    My salary requirements are flexible - challenge and opportunity are my primary motivators!

    Very truly yours,
