I am dedicated to helping organizations in the private and public sector reach their full potential.
I have worked with Boards and Community Groups on a variety of issues related to organizational effectiveness: designing strategic visioning exercises; conducting governance reviews and audits; strengthening corporate culture; streamlining decision making; developing policies and procedures.
My knowledge and understanding of government departments and international agencies, combine with a personal skill set that includes: leadership; communicating; team building; planning; implementing and evaluating; results in recommendations built on a combination of theory and best practices.
I have successfully completed studies in Political Science and Public Administration at Ryerson Polytechnic Institute; the modules in customers and products, logistics, manufacturing process and support functions of the American Production and Inventory Control Society; and the certificate programme in Teaching and Training Adults at Georgian College.
Recognition of my willingness to serve, commitment and confidence has allowed me to take a leadership role in helping a number of organizations meet challenging yet attainable goals.
As an Online United Nations Volunteer, I have worked closely with Agoro Community Development (Kitgum, Uganda) in the preparation and presentation of their feasibility study for the development of a local health care facility.
The website
http://www.harolddoan.com with its news, press releases and project questionnaire serves as the vehicle of introduction for Harold Doan and Associates Ltd. Searched by Google News, the site typcially has 800 to 1000 visits per day.
Through my positions as staff, Board Member and consultant I understand the way an organization must integrate the roles and responsibilities for planning, implementing and evaluation to delegate successfully and avoid confrontation.
