RESEARCH
Questions Worth Investigating. Research Worth Applying.
Research did not begin with my dissertation. It began with questions that emerged while teaching students, supporting employees, advising leaders, and helping organizations navigate change.

WHERE MY RESEARCH BEGINS
Observation became inquiry.
Across industries and organizational settings, I repeatedly encountered similar challenges involving communication, organizational alignment, leadership, workforce capability, governance, organizational learning, and business process performance.
Rather than accepting those experiences as isolated observations, I became increasingly interested in understanding why they occurred and how organizations might respond more effectively. Doctoral scholarship provided the opportunity to investigate these questions systematically.

DISSERTATION RESEARCH
Business Process Performance: Breaking Silos Through Strategic Organizational Conversation.
The dissertation examined relationships among strategic organizational conversation, organizational agility, internal controls, knowledge absorptive capacity, process modularity, top management mindfulness, and business process performance.
Using survey data from 339 workers across U.S. organizations and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, the study established the empirical foundation for a continuing program of applied organizational research.
The dissertation was not the conclusion of scholarly inquiry. It was the beginning of a broader research agenda.
RESEARCH IN PRACTICE
A continuous cycle of inquiry and contribution.
Professional experience generates questions. Research provides disciplined investigation. Teaching invites reflection and dialogue. Executive advisory allows evidence to inform organizational decision-making.
Rather than existing independently, each strengthens the others.
