About

Michael Madden, DMSc, MBA, PMP®

Project Management Leader, Graduate Educator, and Strategic Consultant

For more than 30 years, I have helped organizations turn complex ideas into successful outcomes. My experience spans healthcare, higher education, financial services, technology, nonprofit organizations, and political campaigns, where I have led initiatives ranging from operational improvements and strategic planning to large-scale program and technology implementations.

Today, I help leaders bring structure, accountability, and execution to their most important initiatives. Whether launching a new program, managing organizational change, improving stakeholder engagement, or navigating a high-priority project, I provide practical leadership that keeps teams aligned and focused on results.

As a Senior Project Manager in higher education and a consultant to organizations across multiple sectors, I specialize in:

• Strategic Planning & Execution

• Project & Program Management

• Stakeholder Engagement

• Organizational Change Initiatives

• Healthcare & Higher Education Operations

• Campaign and Nonprofit Project Leadership

In addition to my consulting work, I have taught more than 60 graduate-level courses in project management, leadership, and healthcare administration, helping thousands of students develop the skills needed to lead teams and deliver results in complex organizations.

My approach combines the discipline of project management, the perspective of executive leadership, and the practical experience of working across diverse industries. I believe successful initiatives are built on clear goals, engaged stakeholders, transparent communication, and consistent execution.

Whether you're leading a strategic initiative, launching a new program, or trying to move an important project forward, I can help bring clarity, structure, and momentum to the work that matters most.
