Attendance at the U.S. Army’s Instructor Training Program in Ft. Knox Ky. would give him a focus and direction that would last throughout his career. Field Manuals his captain told him would give him the subject knowledge he needed; understanding would come from interviewing the practicing experts about the situational conditions they faced. Respect for his attendees was drilled into him.
Consulting experience in multiple industries across the United States and into Canada with APC Skills and The Institute of Management Resources would give breath and depth to his work as he continued to work to connect operations and training into an seamless change initiative.
It would be at USAirway’s Maintenance Division as Director of Administration where he would develop a cost-effective, work-centric approach to developing managers. It began with identifying areas of excessive costs, investigating the practices that were perpetuating them, and in conjunction with senior leadership find ways to control them while growing management competencies and building organizational capability.
At R.Davenport and Associates Patrick would again build on what they had to expand their client outplacement services while building management competencies and organizational capability.
His inquisitiveness, study, and blended work experiences continue to inspire him to advance the value of organizational capability in organizations and career management in individual managers.view less
