Dr. David Allen Hancock
received
his BSA in Management Information Systems from the University of Michigan
in 1981. In 1991, Dr. Hancock received a Masters in Interdisciplinary Technology from Eastern Michigan University
culminating years later in his Doctorate in Management and Organizational Leadership. Dr. Hancock brings a wealth of experience
in multiple industries and organizations to provide progressive solutions to today’s organizational issues. Dr. Hancock
spent 22 years, the majority at Ford Motor Company, learning various aspects of the automotive industry… from Information
Technology to Purchasing/Procurement models as well as the science of Logistics and Distribution in Supply Chain Operations
Management. In the Health Care industry, Dr. Hancock has worked with some of the largest healthcare organizations in the United
States, notably Blue Cross Blue Shield and Wellpoint, in the development of new strategies for membership enrollment, claims
processing, business analysis, and project management.
Dr. Hancock spent his formative years in the Detroit
area, but subsequently business interests have lead to experiences living in widely divergent areas of the U.S. A primary consulting assignment with Texas Instruments
in Attelboro, Massachusetts, provided an opportunity to live
in the New England area where he met his beautiful, soon-to-be wife, Princess Fumi Stephanie
Ogunleye, RN., PhD. They later married and relocated, with their two boys, to Orange
County in beautiful Southern California. In 2006,
a fortuitous relocation opportunity presented itself to begin a new home in the Nashville area
of Tennessee, much closer to his two daughters who still live in Michigan, where he devotes his time to consulting and speaking engagements, management research,
and writing.
