Talks on what it takes to deliver public initiatives
I provide engaging and reflective speaking sessions focused on the implementation of public initiatives: the stretch between an approved plan and results people can see in their neighborhood.
Each session draws on more than 20 years across government, nonprofits, academia, start-ups, and consulting. Audiences leave with practical ideas and time to think about their own work.
What I speak about
Delivering public initiatives
What it takes to move an initiative from approval to delivery, and why initiatives everyone agreed on still stall.
Data and AI, from engagement through implementation
Practical uses of data and AI across engagement, delivery, and learning, and where people still need to make the call.
Measuring what matters
How to define success early, track it as the work unfolds, and use the lessons while there is still time to adjust.
- Keynotes
- Conference sessions and workshops
- Panels, moderation, and fireside conversations
