Derek is the founder of Kumido Adaptive Strategies, an organizational performance consultancy that has measurably improved hundreds of collaborative efforts across a broad range of industries. He has found that change initiatives tend to fail not because of implementing the wrong process, but from disconnects between performance needs and the psychological constraints of adaptation. Derek applies principles of human cognition and cybernetics to bridge these gaps. Derek has served on the Board of Directors for the Agile Leadership Network, has been certified as an Accredited Kanban Consultant, and has presented at forums including the International Simulation and Gaming Association, Lean-Kanban France, and The Science of Team Science. He is also a Commercial Pilot and Flight Instructor; these have more relevance to organizational behaviour than he ever expected.
