    Biography
    Dr. McHann earned a Ph.D. from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, in the field of philosophical hermeneutics (the theory of how human beings understand meaning communicated across time, languages, and cultures and therefore learn in constantly changing contexts). He also holds an MBA from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University, with emphases in strategy and global marketing.

    Dr. McHann has blended these two fields of study, along with over 15 years of general management experience at the President & CEO level, into a forte in how organizations may reassess their strategic posture, learn from their strategic and operational experiences, and manage change into more positive futures.

    Dr. McHann has done management consulting work in strategy formation and planning, strategic marketing, building learning organizations, change management, performance improvements and process management for organizations as diverse as General Motors and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital & Medical Center. Earlier in his career, Dr. McHann served as the president of two institutions of higher education. He also has startup business experience and has lived and worked in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
     
    In 2011, he served as a Visiting Scholar in the School of Economics, Business, and Law at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
