Perry McLeod is a Senior Management Consultant, Facilitator, and Educator with over twenty-five years of experience in business analysis, workshops and facilitation, agile adoption, process re-engineering, project management, business and systems modeling, strategic alignment, mentoring and training. Perry's professional experience includes delivering industry-recognized best practices and standards for some of North America's most successful companies across many sectors, including banking and finance, agriculture, supply chain, consumer products, software design, insurance and payment processing.

Perry's disciplined approach to teaching starts with the premise that his participants are equal partners in the learning experience.  As a servant leader, Perry begins by developing a custom running case that is specific to the learner's background.  Using positive language, real-world examples, humor and passion, he creates an environment of trust and credibility.  Perry's enthusiasm is unmatched, and he firmly believes that learning is a biological imperative that allows participants to take advantage of their propensity to tell stories, find meaning and be social.

Perry has a unique passion for business and is an active believer that effective communication along with a deep understanding of behavioral and organizational psychology is the foundation for all endeavors both professional and personal. 
Perry is deeply involved in the development of business analysis and project management. He has served as past Vice President of Education for the International Institute of Business Analysis, Toronto Chapter and an Advisory Board Member for Business Analysis World Project Management World. Perry is currently the Chair for the Business Analysis Community, Project Management Institute, Toronto Chapter. Perry was also a contributor to the development of A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK Guide) V2.0. 
Perry has developed requirements elicitation and analysis models and written courses for and taught at most of the major universities across Canada including the University of Toronto, York University's Schulich School of Business, Sheridan and Seneca colleges. Perry has also written dedicated courses for clients including; TELUS, CIBC, Deloitte, John Hancock, Governments of British Colombia, Ontario, and Canada, Rogers Communications, Manulife Insurance, Shoppers Drug Mart, and the Toronto Dominion Bank.

In his forthcoming ("The Complete Guide to Requirements Management Using the REPAC® Framework™", J. Ross Publishing, 2018, book Perry discusses his communication framework REPAC; an in-depth treatise designed to help project teams center their efforts on stakeholder's needs and what is required to fulfill them, ontologically. Seen through the lenses of poetic naturalism, organizational and behavioral psychology, propositional logic, and communication theory, Perry uniquely argues that all discussions require the right context, focus, perspective, and depth of analysis to build a point-of-view language-set from which atomic, unambiguous imperatives emerge. 
Perry holds the following certifications, CBAP®, PMP®, PMI-PBA®, PMI-ACP®, SMC®, and is currently working towards his Masters in Education.
