September 2019 Chapter Meeting

Speaker: Joel Ellis, Vice President of Enterprise Consulting Services (ECS) Operations at McLeod Software
Topic: Change Management and Project Success

Project success depends on personnel and stakeholder buy in. In this presentation we will look at the intersection between John Kotter's "Sense of Urgency" and Jeffrey Hiatt's "ADKAR" noting some applications and impacts.

Bio: After 10 years as a minister, volunteer firefighter and paramedic, I started my formal career in IT as a documentation specialist for ancillary hardware and software products for the Sperry/Unisys mainframe market. Following 7 years in roles as manager and senior project manager for several software startups and some Department of Defense contracting, I have spent the last 25 years working as a consultant, senior project manager, account manager and business unit manager in supporting the information management needs of industry, primarily working with enterprise level efforts in data collection through actionable information transformations.

My certifications as APICS CPIM, PMP, Six Sigma Green Belt and the Certificate of Competency in MES/MOM by MESA International are a few of the professional accomplishments along the way.
