Mark Ferraro

A Leadership Consultant supporting individuals and teams in transforming their organizations to a healthier place (enterprise performance and individual well-being). By applying a proven transformation roadmap focused on both the sociocultural and the system dimensions, organizations find themselves in a healthier place in a matter of weeks and at a place to independently sustain continuous improvement in 6-9 months.

With a decade and a half of enterprise experience from many aspects of value creation. I am focused on applying and helping others apply best practices that enable teams to meet and exceed business objectives.

Growing effective Communities of Practice (CoP) is my preferred technique to installing lasting change, which results in a setting for rapid adoption, empowerment, engagement, continuous improvement, increased productivity, organizational learning, and high employee morale. I am committed to working with organizations to meet and exceed their own goals.
