Mark R. Jones, Ph.D.
PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
Successful change management / business transformation, enterprise management and integration, and leadership and organizational development require integration of leadership competencies and performance optimization (process/quality improvement) to:
- Increase efficiency and effectiveness of technical (structural | systems | processes) and relational (cultural | value-systems | behaviors) interventionsfor improving individual, group, organizational, community level wellbeing and performance.
- Cultivate high-performance individuals, teams, organizations, and communities to achieve breakthrough levels of successful organizational change and business transformation by simultaneously addressing the technical and cultural dimensions in an integrated manner.
- Identify and successfully adopt transformative technology.
Organizational processes and outcomes that successfully address real-world business and social problems are achieved through recursive prototyping, continuous learning, and explicit development of ESCCO (emotional – social – cultural – cognitive – organizational) behavioral competencies, with an emphasis cultural awareness and behavioral competencies. My application of this philosophy has resulted in organizations benefitting over a billion dollars and many thousands of hours in cost savings/cost avoidance — such as transforming 11,520 hours ($1.44 Billion) development and manufacturing yearly loss into 23,040 hours yearly saved ($2.88 Billion saved).
