About My Management Ideas
Dr. JD McKenna, President
I have 25+ years of experience in IT and business management, supporting various federal government agencies and commercial enterprises in addition to being an Adjunct University Professor with a default mindset of curiosity, presenting a diverse array of subjects to MBA students from around the world.
I aim to inspire and assist clients with upgraded business models, from ideation to implementation. To achieve this, I draw on a solid understanding of the most influential business models, regardless of industry.
Questions About Me?
I help people in the place that best suits their needs; thanks to the phone, email, and video conference tools, this has become the norm. Lately, I have been conducting facilitated tag-ups at various locations around Colorado Springs, Colorado.
My mission is to increase the client's operating efficiency and effectiveness by assessing their core capabilities and processes to ensure they align with their value proposition.
I am very curious and like to stay busy, so I have completed the following training programs:
- Blackbelt Certified Enterprise Architect by the FEAC Institute
- Certified in Digital Transformation through CXO_Transform Inc.
- Certified in Project Management by the Project Management Institute (PMP)
- Certified Information Systems Manager (CISM)
- Advanced Project Management Certificate from International Institute of Learning
- Certification in Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL)
- Lean/Six Sigma Greenbelt through Honeywell Technologies Solutions
- Certified by the State of Colorado to teach at the University Graduate level
- I am currently enrolled in a leadership coach training program
Using these "Coaching Superpowers" provides clients with the tools and skills to achieve great results.
- Empathy: People who meet me know they have been seen and understood
- Seeing the Possibilities in you – even when you have not seen them yourself
- Helping you see where you are on your roadmap, so you acknowledge the progress you have made in achieving your dreams
- Helping you uncover what you actually need versus what you want and how to capitalize on them
- Getting you unstuck and back on track
- Leadership Vision, in understanding, that by enabling people with opportunities to grow, we gain a competitive advantage
These are the values that I work to uphold daily.
