Thunderbird School of Global Management

Activities and Societies: I helped seed the idea for private equity conferences and was a business plan judge for two years.
The global leaders program at the time was a 12 week mini international MBA type program that leaned heavily on the experiences of the executive students, including me. Thunderbird was consistently rated among top international business schools during that era.

U.S. Federal Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council
Disaster and Humanitarian Relief
I have worked behind the scenes for over two decades advising agencies, policy makers, universities and others on knowledge systems, briefly serving on the U.S. CIO KM WG as the only non-government employee. I quickly determined that meaningful progress from within the CIO groups would be more difficult than our work with Kyield as a private business and citizen.

I quickly determined that meaningful progress from within the CIO groups would be more difficult than our work with Kyield as a private business and citizen. We were told that we impacted the post Katrina effort to place a national knowledge system on the White House agenda for the first time. Members of the 9/11 commission, DoD, and Congress have thanked me for related efforts, particularly relating to crisis prevention.

Economic Empowerment
Elected chair of the promotions arm and board of the Chamber of Commerce for the Bavarian village of Leavenworth, WA in my early 20s shortly after my wife and I opened a business. While I have served on many regional and national boards since, this experience stands out due to the large number of independent business owners, each with their own views and interests, and the international cultural exchanges we hosted from all over the world.

Optimizing Knowledge Yield in the Digital Workplace -- A new system design for thriving in the data-intensive universe
Kyield
Kyield is a recently patented system that can provide individuals, groups, and organizations the ability to tailor the quality and quantity of data to their specific needs in a continually adaptable manner, thus enabling yield management. The Kyield system represents a breakthrough in management of data in the digital workplace environment.

The Kyield system represents a breakthrough in management of data in the digital workplace environment.
When deployed system-wide in organizations, Kyield can be accurately described as a complex adaptive organizational operating system (CAOOS). 1 2 Kyield has similarities to the human brain in managing neural networks, although in comparatively primitive form.
The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, it briefly describes how the digital workplace evolved in an incremental manner. Second, it discusses related structural technical and economic challenges for individuals and organizations in the digital workplace. Lastly, it summarizes how Kyield’s novel approach can serve to provide exponential performance improvement. -

Decision-making in the digital age
Altassets
Private equity investing is undoubtedly a data-intensive activity. And yet most firms and their investors do not have adequate systems in place to convert all that information into knowledge to help make the right decisions, says Initium Capital’s Mark Montgomery. Here, he explains why the industry should increase its focus on knowledge system architecture.

The role of institutional capital in early-stage venturing: 2003 and beyond
Altassets
Many investors and entrepreneurs have lost faith in US venture capital. LPs may point the finger at the industry, but they themselves are not without blame, says Initium Capital's Mark Montgomery. Institutional capital still has an important role to play in funding early-stage technology businesses, he argues, but it must be invested in a more discriminate manner.

Marketing Wheel
World's Eye View on Hospitality Trends
I was consulting at the time throughout the western U.S., having recently performed dozens of formal audits on markets suffering from the S&L crisis, and increasingly working with thought leaders in academia. Many of the assignments were lodging, hospitality, and communities. This journal based at NAU and working closely with Cornell and others, asked me to write an article for small and emerging business on the changing world of marketing with a particular focus on technology.

Many of the assignments were lodging, hospitality, and communities. This journal based at NAU and working closely with Cornell and others, asked me to write an article for small and emerging business on the changing world of marketing with a particular focus on technology.
