Keith Ayers is the President of Integro Leadership Institute LLC, a leadership consulting group based in West Chester, PA. Originally from Australia, Keith joined Integro as a consultant in 1977 and took over the ownership of the organization in 1982. Demand for his programs and expertise in the United States led him to move to Pennsylvania in August 2001. The U.S. division of Integro now has over 60 certified associates across North America.

Keith's first career was as a Navigator in the Royal Australian Air Force which included a term of active duty in Vietnam.

His expertise is working with CEO's and senior executive teams to help them create a high performance culture... one that is based on a high level of trust and personal responsibility. Keith has worked with executive teams in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, China and the U.S., and has also been a speaker at conferences in Germany, Finland, the U.K. and throughout North America.

A long held view that "training events" do not produce business results, led Keith to author the Leadership Development Process™ and Senior Team Alignment Process™. These integrated "processes" include before and after measurement and application projects that help executive teams and managers take their company culture "head on", and get all employees committed to achieving outstanding results.

Keith is the author of the book Engagement Is Not Enough: You Need Passionate Employees to Achieve Your Dream, published by Advantage in October 2006.

In addition to his heavy travel and speaking schedule Keith continues to work with senior executive teams.

As a Director of the International Process and Performance Institute (IPAPI) I am helping to lead the way in the improvement approach on process for personal, organizational and customer success. To achieve that I have worked with the rest of the Institute's team to develop the IPAPI CEM Method™ (the de facto standard for delivering sustainable business process optimization and improvement), the theory and practice behind the 21st Century Value Chain, the Process Innovation Landscape, and the Certified Process Professional Program.

Christine Robinson has achieved international recognition for her vision for Enterprise Architecture, BPM, and emergency preparedness and disaster recovery, receiving an award for excellence in Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Recovery in 2008. Her vision even inspired Congressional legislation and funding and government procurements beginning in 2008.

Christine’s vision has influenced industry and government. Her approach for emergency preparedness and disaster recovery led toward congressional legislation and funding for modernizing emergency preparedness and disaster recovery as well as government procurements incorporating her approach, beginning with FEMA. This is also becoming part of the Federal Enterprise Architecture and Segment Architecture. Industry analysts have also forecasted that her approach will become more widely recognized.

Christine has performed numerous senior leadership roles. As a principal consultant, Christine recently worked for CSC, which chose her approach for emergency preparedness and disaster recovery as one of eight new global cyber security offerings. Prior to joining CSC, she evaluated the US Treasury’s most critical emergency preparedness and disaster recovery plans for the systems that run the entire US monetary system and impact the world’s economy. Other roles include system engineering, information security, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery, and BPM for SAIC and for Verizon, designing and implementing innovative domestic and international solutions.

Christine writes for international publication. International judges distinguished her paper “Transforming Health Care Through Enterprise Architecture and BPM” as one of the foremost papers featured in the “2009 BPM Handbook.” BPM.com features two of her articles, billing her most recent one as a “top story.” The “Common Defense Quarterly” will feature an upcoming article in the summer edition. She co-authored a chapter in 2009 for the World Future Society’s book “Seeing the Future with New Eyes.” The Intelligent Communities Forum will publish Christine’s chapter “Safety and Security in the Future City” in an upcoming book in September 2009, which is a prelude to her own book that Future Strategies plans to publish in 2010.
