Mike is relying on his 12 books and over 45 articles coupled with current research in this area and his background of initiating a startup, heading up an R&D unit with PhD Statisticians and Economists, being a controller, being part of a six-member finance team that worked with the CFO addressing a $10.5 billion dollar entity reorganization over a two-year period that resulted in a completely new organization, as an executive with 1,200 employees, and having taught organizations hundreds of times on this and similar topics. Mike brings a unique perspective to this topic that participants find engaging, relevant, and entertaining given his governmental service as a federal civil servant at all levels (civil servant of the year twice in his career) and his private sector experience as a consultant, speaker, researcher, and writer.
