Helping transportation organizations improve their project management efficiencies and organizational productivity by successfully navigating process, people, and policy issues at the project, program, and portfolio levels.

Defining Success
It often starts with a challenge whose pain points or potential benefits are too big to ignore. Be it by proactive initiative or executive edict, the promise of implementing a big idea can be both exciting and terrifying. I understand that most DOTs struggle to successfully navigate change in a way that promotes an enduring positive culture while balancing executive expectations, system and data constraints, financial realities, staff capabilities, and resource availability.
My approach
I offer a holistic approach that focuses on the foundational issues by respectfully considering organizational constraints while not compromising the mission critical objectives within your dynamic environment. I will help you proactively identify anticipated pain points, explore solutions that will work within the framework of your organization, and design an implementation plan that builds confidence and trust in the change.
