About Brad McIlwee
As a West Point and Army trained leader and Project Management Professional, I\'ve led the biggest motorcycle project Harley-Davidson has ever executed, an entire family of Softail motorcycles. I also led large-scale business process improvement through a revamp of Harley\'s product development methodology. I implement comprehensive frameworks and programs to deliver organizational goals.Big picture thinker using broader business understanding and extensive experience in product and process development to assess situational needs, develop great solutions to those complex situations, use passion to lead, build and coach teams in implementation. Provide determination and judgment to overcome obstacles and persevere to deliver to business objectives, taking full accountability and responsibility for results through focused communication to executive leadership.One of my top strengths is responsibility. That full accountability for everything I do, combined with the passion I have to deliver success have allowed me to accomplish a lot in my Army and Harley-Davidson career.I believe that good program management is leading a team, not just reporting out on day to day status. I also believe that done well, leadership through good program management can be a powerful multiplier in the success of business initiatives.Expertise in:• Product Development• Portfolio Management• Large-scale Program Management• Metrics & Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)• Teaching & Coaching• Change Management• Process Development & Audit• Business Process Improvement• Program Management Office (PMO)• Lean Principles; Ops & OfficeThe opportunities I am seeking would include running a company\'s PMO and/or leading large-scale programs that require an expert program manager. I have been at Harley my entire career, but the process work I have done there makes me well suited to transfer my skills to other industries, and I would welcome that opportunity.I can be reached at b•••••••@wi.rr.com
