Steve Bosserman Bio:

In 1987, I founded Bosserman & Associates, Inc.—a management consulting firm specializing in strategic framing and organizational design. My primary focus is in sustainable local economic development through strategies that complement emerging trends in markets, technologies, and patterns of work. These strategies establish a healthy and sustainable interplay between global and local economies; distribute power through non-linear interactions and connections within and across organizations and communities; foster adaptive and integrated decision structures; and, converge ideas, energies, resources, and skills into meaningful, collective action.

During the 1994 to 2001 period, I co-founded WorkSpan, Inc.—a consulting firm specializing in systems change strategies for land-grant universities, foundations, government agencies, and professional societies. Services included: delivery of leadership for institutional change workshops; development of internal strategies for change predicated on convening and facilitating conversations that would not occur otherwise; and coaching of individuals / teams dedicated to influence organizational performance.

Currently, I am consulting to the Innovative Agricultural Research Initiative (iAGRI), a USAID Feed the Future project that, in its own words, "...aims to strengthen training and collaborative research capacities of Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) and the Tanzanian Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives (MAFC) with the goal of improving food security and agricultural productivity in Tanzania."
