Dr. Kennedy has created online individual and cohort
learning with Professional Certifications in Systems Engineering, Clinical Research, and Business and
Nonprofit Leadership along with enterprise-level Quality Accelerator Programs. QMI’s “Eight Attributes” have been adopted as “both a standard for
performance and a standard for training that creates a positive quality management work culture”
by the Site Accreditation and Standards Institute’s global standard for the Accrediting of
Clinical Research Sites. The Eight Attributes are also referenced in
the International Council of Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Official Handbook sections for Quality Management. Vitae/Resume
Keeping the Promise
If you are a leader who must try to fulfill your promises through an employee's efforts,
you will be helped and encouraged by Dr. Kennedy's insights into today's work culture
and the practical ideas he offers for succeeding where others have failed.
He describes the importance of leadership with the right vision, values and motivation,
along with the practical knowledge of quality management so we can do things right.
QM in the Nonprofit World
This book describes how managing for quality can not only improve the services
nonprofits provide, but also increase the number of people they serve.
Dr. Kennedy gives examples of how the pursuit of quality yields benefits in effective,
efficient, and economical operations, readily marketable programs, and a broad,
strongly motivated donor base.
