He is equally comfortable working in boardrooms and on factory floors, building high-performance teams and turning around dysfunctional organizations. His facilitation experience includes strategic thinking, innovation strategy, ethics, product design and conflict resolution sessions for organizations, including Yellow Corp., Bayer, Kaiser Permanente and Goodyear.

Ken writes and presents frequently on the topics of learning simulation, organizational complexity and leadership challenges. When not teaching or facilitating, you’ll find Ken getting schooled by the great outdoors, where he’s likely out paddling on a lake or cross-country skiing.
