Leadership Assessment and Facilities Development
DU-COMM
2016 to 2017
This engagement with the largest consolidated dispatching center in Illinois was addressed in two parts. The first was to develop and then assist in implementing of the construction of a new large and contemporarily designed regional Dispatch Center to address chronic space deficiencies. A unique relationship was developed with the County of DuPage, and not a Du-Comm member, to endorse and finance a repurposed abandoned facility on the DuPage Governmental Campus. What resulted was the completion and use of a new dispatching center exceeding the expectations of the Agency. The second part of the engagement was an evaluation and leadership assessment of in-house supervisory talent within the Agency, and a recommendation for the most suitable internal candidate for promotion to Deputy Director.
