My name is Mike Duguay and I am an Innovation Coach/Trainer/Consultant and Change Manager. I am a Certified Scrum Master (CSM), Certified Agile Coach (ICP-ACC), a certified Change Management Specialist (CMS) and a Certified Kanban Coach (CKC). I also have a MicroMasters in Corporate Innovation and have held the position of Vice President of Innovation for a business college where I taught innovation and entrepreneurship along with consulting for private industry.
As the first person on the startup team of a $500 million dollar private equity funded utility company, I also have direct experience in corporate entrepreneurship and large scale innovation. In addition, I founded an entrepreneurial and innovation institute that worked with private businesses instructing them on how to become more innovative and agile.
I will help you, your team and your business become more innovative and agile, as well as showing everyone on the team how to embrace change in order to take on new initiatives.
I believe the foundation of Innovation starts with a deep understanding of who you are interested in serving. To that end, I focus on a customer-centric approach to coaching, instructing and consulting. As a result, I specialize in Empathetic Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Design Thinking, Human Centered Design, Design Sprint, Lean Startup, Scrum and Agile to name a few methodologies and platforms that I subscribe to.
If you are looking to find out how to add value to your employer, team or business I do not know any better solution than what becoming innovative can do. Along with an innovative mindset and entrepreneurial spirit, you can completely reconfigure your business and career.
How do I know? Because that’s what I did at a later point in my own career. In fact, I went from working in government to being part of a progressive startup virtually overnight. I was able to do this due in large part because I had begun the transformation into becoming an Innovator. This was also at a time when there weren’t Innovation Coaches or Innovation Trainers to help me along in my journey.
I would love to work with you and share my experience, knowledge and insight in order to compress your timeframe in meeting your innovation and change goals.
