Having been a consultant to numerous companies both in the US and overseas and having had the actual responsibility for Food Safety, Quality, Regulatory Compliance and R&D (including Product Development) in a wide range of companies, Gary has come to recognize and understand the challenges that Food Safety Professionals face in effectively performing their jobs. Many times, it involves understanding how to demonstrate and effectively communicate the value of what they do to others who are involved in the decisions regarding the allocation of resources whether they are money, people or departmental cooperation. It can often feel like convincing someone to buy an insurance policy that they do not think they need.

In order to address these issues, he has conducted numerous workshops and written articles on “Effective Risk Communication to Get Food Safety Resources. He is also involved in working with academia to understand what would make their curriculums more effective in providing the tools that the Food Safety Professionals need to succeed, not the least of which is more business education.

Since 2001, Patti has been CEO at EDGES, Inc., a services company to help organizations find their potential and exceed their growth goals by fully aligning their resources to achieve those goals. In order to grow, organizations must first develop a short and long-term plan for growth. They will need to build capacity and efficiency to support that growth. While both are being done, the people doing the work must grow, as well. EDGES’ approach includes planning, process efficiency/technology integration, and people development. If an organization wants to grow, it will require a change of direction in their strategic initiatives. After 15 years of working with growth clients, she has found one thing to be profoundly true, without exception: All of the implications of the change in strategic initiatives must permeate the existing culture in order to take hold and become real. Together, with Ken, they have led a team to develop methods, tools and tracking to substantiate culture change. She also serves as Managing Partner of (e)Gauge, Inc., where she serves on the product development committee. Her predominant focus within the software suite offered by (e)Gauge, Inc. are on the Talent Management modules, which enable organizations to align Job Descriptions with Performance Reviews and KPI’s to hold people accountable for their part in a change.
