ABOUT JOHN JOLLEY

As a results-oriented, enterprise strategy, program, and organizational change leader, I have extensive experience building teams, keeping them on track, and driving them to results. I am enthusiastic about solving problems and building solutions with other people, especially with teamwork and camaraderie. I am a certified PMP, Prosci ADKAR Change practitioner, and SAFe SPC, I am flexible with traditional, hybrid, and agile delivery approaches. Additionally, I am a Sandler, Carnegie, and Straight Line sales practitioner. I blend traditional delivery approaches with that of an ‘activist’ mindset, focused on intrinsically motivated and systematic delivery systems. I have a bias towards action, complimenting strategy with activation, and by working through people utilizing influence and persuasion. I have experience across a broad set of industries and a diverse portfolio of organizations with a focus on business development, strategy, and delivery.These experiences include complex and highly visible strategic initiatives. Recent examples include product, program, change management, and organizational transformation in the insurance, healthcare, automotive, banking, utilities, telecommunications, and retail industries. I am adept at using collaboration, influence, and persuasion to build foundational elements of successful execution and delivery:· Building strong organizational alignment through deliberate stakeholder management.· Developing committed and engaged stakeholders who are intrinsically motivated for success.· Implementing disciplined synchronization to ensure optimal execution. Successful delivery is about adoption, and I believe strong communication skills, the ability to build trust, and navigating complex organizational dynamics enable influence at all levels of an organization. I have an MBA, am a veteran, an active angel investor, and a non-profit board member. Personality assessments have labeled me a strategic activator, motivating director, and persuading conductor. I always seek to become a trusted advisor. Personally, I’m a learner and explorer. I enjoy amateur MMA, fitness, and the outdoors. I live in the Columbus Ohio area with my wife and five children, three human and two K-9 (GSDs).I enjoy challenging convention and the status quo.I am an open networker and invite you to connect.Specialties: strategy execution, organizational change, product management, program leadership, portfolio management, org design and operating model, agility, culture, mindset, behavior
