His experience in guiding senior management decisions affecting investments, acquisitions, new product selection, and market strategies has given rise to a passionate interest in the art and science of decision-making.

Kevin Booth has focused on how to improve the accuracy and reliability of corporate decision-making. He is constantly investigating how executives do (or do not) process information and form decisions. An important component of decision-making is doing so in groups. The group decision-making and information processing is an essential element of workgroup leadership (and facilitation) and overlaps well with the FAST facilitation program and workgroup leadership courses. During stints as an executive in companies facing crises, Kevin applies facilitation daily to everything from executive staff meetings to product design sessions. Applying his facilitation technique to quality initiatives and projects is a daily activity.

Working with Terrence Metz and from their combined practical, real-world experience, the team has developed and/or refined many tools used in individual and group decision-making for a variety of applications such as corporate and marketing strategies, new product selection and launch, and investment (M&A) activities. Kevin applies and hones his facilitation skills almost weekly while working with senior executives in a wide variety of situations. The FAST technique is constantly and continuously refined.

Kevin Booth is a graduate of Georgia Institute of Technology (BME) and the University of Chicago (MBA with dual specializations, finance and marketing). Kevin is also a Six Sigma® Green Belt and certified in Lean processes.

Kevin is a past-president of the Chicago chapter of the Product Development & Management Association (PDMA). He is also on the board of the Strategic Management Association.
