LARRY BANKS PhD, Co-Founder
My professional activities have focused on enhancing learning and human performance through technology. Recently, I created workforce development programs incorporating advanced video technologies. As the Co-Founder of Intentional Learning, I work with organizations to design plans for improving employee effectiveness using evidence-based practices. These efforts include supporting institutions in achieving regional accreditation and mentoring teams to achieve performance goals.
My expertise includes strategic planning problem-solving, accreditation processes, budgeting, faculty development, and project leadership. I have experience developing competency-based programs to improve organizational results. By analyzing root causes and identifying essential skills, I advise leaders and managers to make informed decisions that positively improve their departments, businesses, and schools.
With over thirty years of experience in business and education, I have worked with academic institutions, owned a small business, and consulted with organizations to improve their operational effectiveness. My roles have included Executive Director of Learning and Development, Vice President of Operations at Harman Music Group, General Manager of JBL Speakers, as well as President and Provost at several schools.
