Engineering. He has expertise and experience in management and organizational
issues facing engineering, technical, and healthcare organizations today:

These results are then fed into a strategic planning process.
- Strategic planning and action
planning for change-facilitating top and middle management to identify
the organization's mission and vision, then rolling out objectives to support
the mission and vision, translating those objectives into actions to be accomplished
in the next twelve months, and follow-up on results.

on identifying positive and negative responses to change. Results of resilience
assessment guide individuals in organizations to become more resilient by
focusing on positive adaptive behaviors, emphasizing team work and creative
use of talents.
