With a background in solid-state physics and nonlinear dynamics, Dr. Domenico Lepore is an international expert and innovator in the application of science to management to radically improve business performance and achieve robust, predictable, and repeatable results.
Domenico has advised CEOs and decision makers internationally for over 20 years and has led implementations with his Decalogue management methodology at over 30 national and multinational organizations in a wide variety of industries, from mining to IT. This work included in the early 2000s the turnaround of a failing American multinational that adopted his methodology at a global level over a 3-year period to achieve measurable results in increased productivity, unleashing of untapped capacity, award-winning patents, and a stock price that increased in value sevenfold.
Domenico founded his first consulting firm in Milan, Italy, in 1996 where he developed his Decalogue methodology that uniquely combines the teachings of W. Edwards Deming with the practical applications from the Theory of Constraints. Thanks to the turnaround results achieved, he was invited to relocate to New York in 2006 to join a firm that successfully raised almost $600m to acquire and integrate a network of 22 facilities into one whole system. In 2010, he founded Intelligent Management Inc. with his partners Dr. Angela Montgomery and Dr. Giovanni Siepe in Toronto to help organizations evolve toward a network and system-based perspective for 21st century needs (www.intelligentmanagement.ws).
Together with a talented team of mathematicians and developers, Domenico’s firm Intelligent Management created the first Project Management software to combine Critical Chain with Statistical Process Control to schedule competencies, not just resources, at finite capacity. See www.ess3ntial.com/
Domenico’s first book, Deming and Goldratt: The Decalogue (1999), co-authored with Oded Cohen, was the first book to be published by Goldratt’s publisher North River Press not authored by Goldratt himself. It became recommended reading in universities around the world and was translated into several languages. His most recent book, co-authored with his partners at Intelligent Management Inc., is Quality, Involvement, Flow: The Systemic Organization, CRC Press, NYC, 2016.
A new Canadian citizen, Domenico lives in Victoria, BC, with Angela, his British-Canadian wife and partner. He travels regularly between North America and Europe to visit clients and keep contact with his roots and passion for international cinema and Italian cuisine.
