John Bolden, founder of TLIR Consulting Group, is internationally renowned for strong thought leadership that paves the way for leaders to propel and compel significant improvement in corporate transformation, operational alignment and business improvement project performance and results.
In addition to direct client engagements, John conducts ongoing research into the prevalent issues that lead to cost overruns, delays, quality issues, organization vs. project conflict, vendor litigation, unacceptable ROI, frustrated stakeholders, tarnished reputations and worse. The baseline for his thinking is now 3,400+ significant projects spanning every common form of business improvement along with some not so common that are truly bleeding edge. They vary from cosmetic through to mission critical and beyond; ranging from $500K to $17Bn+. Several thousand projects of lesser size / cost yet just as important in the minds of those who conceived, planned and executed them augment the core baseline.
His identification of the key traits and tendencies that contribute to failure and what can be done about them is recognized as innovative, practical and value laden. John’s articles are widely published and his presentations have engaged business, government and academia leaders at conferences worldwide. John delivers his profound, thought provoking ideas and observations in public and private forums where business leaders, managers and staff gain an appreciation for both organization centric and project centric perspectives of what is typically overlooked, ignored or taken for granted whenever Corporate Transformation / Business Improvement is on the agenda.
I have worked in the online space as a Project Manager for nine years, and I'm currently the Director of Fulfillment at WebFeat Multimedia Inc., in Toronto. I'm passionate about how marketing is affected by technology and trends in social media. I have worked exclusively in the interactive space for my entire project management career.
I believe that we are only as good as the information we share with one another. Working together, we will advance project management methodologies in a way that makes sense in this technological era of speed and change.
