Here�s a good question: �Just WHO am I, Garry Worger, and WHY can I assist an organization with �change� initiatives, and HOW do I go about it, and am I any good?� [Maybe that is four questions?]

WHO SUMMARY
I was an educator for 40+ years, working with public education, grades 5 � 12, and with a technical college. There I was an instructor (math, computer programming, MS-OFFICE), training consultant, program-developer, change-agent, project manager, and researcher with Colleges, Government Agencies, Private Industry� collaborating with local, Canadian & foreign clients.
So my �who� is this: extensive training/development/assessment experience working with all types of clients, in a variety of fields, across cultures.

WHY SUMMARY
I strive to solve my clients� problems, using a GET-GIVE-MERGE-GO (GGMG) model. This means I spend extensive front-end time assessing the
needs/problems/issues/context/key-players of an organization.
Then I map out a �solution� based on my understanding & expertise.
Next my clients and I negotiate how my approach will be applied to their situation, followed by the development of an elaborate and detailed management plan. That plan becomes the roadmap and assessment design for a project.
So my �why� is this: I explore where you are; we agree on our mutual understandings; we develop strategies and tactics to solve your problems.

HOW SUMMARY
I alluded to my �how� in the why summary� but here are some more details.
I use potent models to direct my efforts, based on the research & teachings of Robert Carkhuff� to my mind� one of the seminal thinkers of the 20th century.
His (and my) strategic approach is EXPLORE-UNDERSTAND-ACT. This, you will likely realize, is the over-riding model for the GGMG process I use with clientele organizations.
I utilize several tactical models.
The first is PLAN-IMPLEMENT-MONITOR-ASSESS-RECYCLE (PIMAR)� the basis for my Project Management approach. The guts of this is the Plan, and I am insistent on spending a high {17ed4b947b5ecd6da9d3a7b807fdef29c56bf028a610db6111fa8d721e8c087a}age of time getting this right�
-right for the client (outcomes which is tactic #2, below)�
-right for the target personnel involved (which is tactic #3, below)
-right process & procedures & assessment�
-right for me as a Project Manager (managing, monitoring, assessing and recycling)�
The second tactical model focuses on client outcomes: quantitative measures, qualitative measures, safety measures, environmental measures, supervision measures, key indicators, assessment methods, reporting.
The third tactical model identifies the target personnel involved in the project and their level of involvement (resource, approvers, implementers, receivers, allocators).
In summary, my How is the use of powerful models, customized to the unique context and culture of client organizations.

Dr Couturierâs professional career spans several decades of academic and senior executive experience.

As an academic, he was an associate professor of corporate finance (tenured) before his appointment as Associate Dean Research and Academic at Laval Universityâs business faculty. From there, he was appointed CEO of the Institute of Canadian Bankers, ICB, and spent the better part of his career as a private sector senior executive. Under his leadership, the ICB was transformed into a top ranking financial services educational provider, ranking among the top five in the world. His contribution to the field was recognized when he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Dalhousie Universityâs School of Management, an honorary Fellowship of the ICB and an appointment as executive in residence (Professeur associé) at UQAM Universityâs School of Management.

Upon retirement, Dr Couturier started his own consulting firm specializing in Strategic Thinking, Organisational Development and Executive Coaching. His approach is participative relying primarily on the facilitated workshop process to which he brings structure for task efficiency and group communication facilitation for process effectiveness.

Drawing upon his experience as a CEO, Dr Couturier believes that the most insightful knowledge about any organisation resides with the people in that organisation. Mining that dormant knowledge and creativity pool ensures better adapted and lasting solutions that achieve a higher and faster degree of acceptance and ownership by those responsible for implementing change. However, most executives are activities driven; as such they do not often have the luxury of time to reflect. Thus, the facilitated workshop process is an effective method of awakening the dormant knowledge and latent creativity of people within an organisation.

His clientele is both Canadian and international (Morocco, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Oman).

Dr Couturier is currently preparing a manuscript on â The Practice of Managementâ covering the following topics:
⢠Leadership
⢠Economic Value Creation
⢠Strategic Thinking
⢠Process Thinking
⢠Shifting the Financial Information Paradigm

Twenty-five years as a finance professor teaching corporate finance, personal financial management, and investments and portfolio management. Twenty years experience developing financial accrediation programs, curriculum and courses, writing textbooks and course material, and teaching financial services personnel about personal financial planning. I have also developed and taught on-line courses. Experience with the Institute of Canadian Bankers, the Canadian Securities Institute, the Saudi Arabian Institute of Banking, and the Omani Institute of Banking,
