Introducing the Career of Dori Gilbert

When I review my diverse career, I see a recurring theme in delivering tailored education and communication strategies to ensure successful adoption of change. My ability to discern and amplify business value has consistently driven impactful outcomes.

With competence in stakeholder-centric project management, I fuel efficiency and alignment across teams. I am passionate about fostering trust and collaboration in key networks and committed to integrating organizational transformation through impactful information flows. I’m known for an unwavering ability to bring clarity to complex scenarios, ensuring effective communication at every level. I guarantee that critical insights into challenges, successes, and improvements will reach the right stakeholders at the right time.

This communications theme was capped with 8 years of experience in a large IT environment where I focused on communications for user awareness and adoption. The last two years were facilitating and communicating transformation from the perspective of our IT project portfolio. Prior to this, I became skilled in Project Management, Product Management, and Product Marketing.

Leadership for Delivering the Execution Promise

Because of my drive toward clarity, I unite teams for efficient communications delivery that is aligned with purpose and the execution promise. As business objectives change, I specialize in adapting to meet evolving customer needs and market dynamics.

I’ve cultivated holistic leadership skills such as executive collaboration, self-awareness, and systems thinking, which complement my natural talents for professional empathy and strategic vision. I’ve exercised my knowledge and experience with these certifications:

• Change Management Professional. My certificate is from Acuity and in a course from Prosci on Integrating Agile and Change Management. Expertise in conveying valuable information and managing stakeholders effectively
• ECHO Listening Intelligence (LQ™) Certified Practitioner. Enhancing communication by adapting to listening preferences and boosting productivity. 
• PMO-CP Certified Practitioner. Demonstrating alignment of project value to business goals and strategic objectives.
• Product Portfolio Management. Building value-based strategies through design-thinking and portfolio management.

Clarity in Action

I once onboarded ~30,000 users to Zoom in 2 months! We helped save money by eliminating multiple meeting platform contracts. When I was in an IT Project Management Office, I increased Project Manager tool adoption by 20% to help maximize value delivered in our methodology and tool investment.
