Scott Lucado, Associate
Scott is an Executive Coach, Corporate Consultant, and Expert in Training & Organizational Development.
Mr. Lucado specializes in identifying and helping organizations overcome “corporate barriers”: the technical, organizational, and leadership areas that cause self-inflicted wounds. These vulnerabilities are most apparent to a master such as Scott with his over three decades of experience.
He has a distinguished career with such corporate icons as Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, American Airlines, SABRE, Wells Fargo Mortgage, Proctor & Gamble, Rush-Presbyterian St Luke’s Medical Center, and others. His portfolio of success includes:
Developing systems that promote efficacy and retention, reduce turnover, and reduce required training time, in areas as diverse as Airbus pilot training, medical student virology education, combat infantryman weapons training, and manufacturing error reduction.
Recognizing that there are only four reasons companies spend money (cost reduction, revenue enhancement, compliance, and competitive pressure), he aids companies in sharpening their focus by asking two basic questions:
1. What business problem are you looking to solve? and
2. How will you know when you’ve solved it?
This is the launching pad for further exploration and implementation.
