Moraine Park Technical College has graduated its ninth cohort of participants from the STRAT (Strategy, Alignment, Talent) program on December 13, 2019 with a completion ceremony that included project presentation at the Moraine Park Technical College Fond du Lac campus.

The STRAT 2019 participants included Chloe Komorowski, Director of Nursing at Hillside Manor; John Nehls, Consumer Compliance Analyst at Horicon Bank; Patrick Rentmeester, Corporate Controller at Sadoff Iron & Metal Company; Mary Davies, Associate Dean at Moraine Park Technical College; Joe Truesdale, Marketing Account Manager at Wisnet; Cecilia Harry, Former CEO of Envision Greater Fond du Lac; Lynn Abraham, Organizational Resources Director at Lakeland Care; and Emily Hayes, General Education Reading/Writing Instructor at Moraine Park Technical College.

As a key part of the program, participants identified and implemented projects that would improve their workplace with objectives that were quite diverse from financial to cultural goals. Some of the projects included: new training programs, testing a flexible work model, new budgeting process, software implementations, and reducing turnover. The project focused on employee engagement and retention is already seeing a return on investment through a decrease in sign on bonuses and turnover costs.

The STRAT 2.0 program was developed by Moraine Park’s Economic and Workforce Development division and goes beyond the typical training – integrating a 360 assessment as well as other leadership profile indicators, feedback, stretch assignments, experiential learning and one-on-one coaching to accelerate individual performance. Individuals are sponsored by their employers and organizations to participate in cross-functional development linking strategy and execution to achieve measureable results within their organizations.  Through the program, students participate in workshops, networking events, professional coaching and STRAT alumni to build their professional network and support participants on their project and leadership journey.

We would like to introduce Amy Beaman, Moraine Park Technical College Economic and Workforce Development department’s newest full-time instructor.  Beaman comes to Moraine Park with 20 years of experience in a variety of Human Resources and Organizational Development Leadership roles in both the private and public sectors including manufacturing, healthcare, service sector, and education. She hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh and a Master of Science Degree in Management and Organizational Development from Silver Lake College.

As an instructor, Beaman enjoy providing customized training and solutions to area businesses in leadership, communication, teambuilding, human resources and customer service.  Beaman states, “it is gratifying being part of a team that focuses on collaborating and building partnerships with the community and area businesses to bring economic growth, success, and learning excellence to our district.”

As Beaman put it, “I know that teaching is not a ‘one size fits all’, and that each individual learner comes to the classroom with a unique combination of work experiences, educational background, and career aspirations.  I am passionate about meeting each student where they are at in their professional journey and take great pride in helping people grow and develop their communication and leadership skills and potential.  By bringing real-life business examples and fruitful discussions to the classroom, each learner is able to walk away with something they can apply when they return to the work environment.”

When she’s not in the classroom, she enjoy spending time with her husband and two sons who are both in middle school.  They enjoy watching the boys play soccer and baseball, going up north, boating, and crossing off places to travel on their bucket list.
