Part of David’s responsibilities at ReEngine is the management of client process improvement projects.

In one ReEngine project that David led, an IT application development division increased the velocity of its projects by 53% over the course of the engagement.
While at the Workforce Commission, David worked with Operational Insight staff to continuously improve performance analysis techniques in evaluating sub-recipients and designed prescriptive analytic tools that can helped the organization better serve its customers. David also worked closely with the Rapid Process Improvement team, managing multiple projects and serving as an internal consultant as needed on process improvement projects.
During his time at TDHCA, David led several process improvement initiatives. He instituted an agency-wide balanced scorecard initiative that tracked performance and financial metrics for each division and major program within the agency. Also, he developed a methodology to predict the number of weatherization units produced by sub-recipients participating in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which enabled TDHCA to redistribute funding allocations to better meet production goals. The Legislative Budget Board’s Government Effectiveness and Efficiency Report (2013) credited this projection methodology as the turning point in the program.
David is proud to be at the forefront of national and global government improvement efforts. Improving government quality, efficiency, and effectiveness is a passion for David.
