Prior to joining Enterprise Learning & Development in 2011, Bill spent 3 years teaching in the MBA program at Concordia University (St Paul, MN) and the Master of HR and Change Leadership program at the University of St Thomas (St Paul, MN). It was during this time that he also completed and successfully defended his dissertation for a doctorate (EdD) in organization learning and development from the University of St Thomas. Pursuit of his doctorate was prompted in large part to his experiences during the 25 years he managed the technology and software development operations for a variety of private sector public and privately-held organizations. Bill came to understand that employee development and interpersonal dynamics, more so than technology expertise, were primary contributors to the success realized by the departments and teams he managed. A lifelong learner, Bill also earned an MBA with a concentration in management from the University of St Thomas.
