Dr. Philip D. Mann is an aviation safety and AI governance specialist who spent seventeen years inside the Federal Aviation Administration before founding Vector Strategic Consulting LLC. He rose from field technician to business analyst to instructor and training program manager at the FAA Academy, the agency's training center for the workforce that keeps the National Airspace System running. That path lets him speak about outages, controller staffing, and stalled modernization programs from inside the operation rather than from a press release. His commentary centers on three areas: aviation safety and National Airspace System infrastructure; the governance of artificial intelligence in critical systems where failure carries physical consequences; and the organizational risk, leadership, and human factors that decide whether a safety program holds under pressure. A single argument runs through the work: institutions tend to govern by disaster, writing rules only after the wreckage forces the issue, when they could govern by design and move accountability upstream of the failure. He is the author of The SCAR Framework: A Systematic Approach to AI Decision-Making in Critical Systems, a structured method for deciding when to trust automated systems where a wrong call can cost lives, built on four dimensions: Safety, Complexity, Accountability, and Resilience. His analysis has reached more than 35 million people worldwide across outlets including the Associated Press, USA Today, New Scientist, NewsNation, LiveNOW from Fox, LBC Radio in London, and Deutsche Welle. He works comfortably in print, on camera, and on live radio, holding a technical point in plain language for a general audience or speaking at full depth with a trade or policy reporter. Dr. Mann holds a PhD in Organization and Management, an MBA, an MPA, and a BS in Business Management, with PMP and PMI-RMP certifications. He responds quickly to deadlines and supports every claim with primary sources: FAA orders, NTSB findings, court records, and agency rulemakings.

Stepan Kazaryan is a Business Management Consultant focused on digital presence, professional evaluation, and how public information shapes decision-making in modern business environments. His work centers on helping organizations and professionals understand how they are perceived before direct interaction occurs. In search-driven systems, evaluation often happens silently and quickly. Stepan advises clients on building structured digital foundations that support credibility over time. His approach emphasizes clarity, consistency, and responsible positioning rather than short-term visibility tactics. He works with executives, founders, and professional service providers who recognize that digital footprints influence trust, partnerships, and opportunity flow. By aligning websites, public profiles, and third-party references, Stepan helps create stable professional narratives that reduce uncertainty during evaluation. Rather than focusing on reactive measures, his advisory framework prioritizes preparation. This includes analyzing how search results present a name, how information connects across platforms, and how inconsistencies affect perception. The goal is to strengthen long-term positioning in a way that feels natural and sustainable. Stepan frequently writes and speaks about digital identity, credibility signals, and the structural factors that influence professional trust in online environments. His perspective reflects a broader shift in how professionals are assessed in the age of search and public information accessibility. Through disciplined strategy and steady execution, Stepan Kazaryan helps clients maintain clarity in environments where perception often forms before conversation begins.

I’m an Innovation & Commercialization Strategist who studies the hidden mechanics of how ideas become real. For more than 20 years, I’ve helped organizations understand the structural moment when an idea either becomes a market force or quietly fails. I created Engineered Business Performance (EBP), a systems‑engineering approach that treats commercialization like a machine with architecture, friction points, and performance thresholds. My work focuses on the cognitive distortions and structural blind spots that undermine early‑stage ventures, from founder overconfidence to capability‑terrain mismatches. I also developed Business Development Engineering (BDE), the applied methodology that turns these insights into actionable commercialization systems. Today, I advise innovators, executives, and investors who want to build engines that accelerate innovation, reduce risk, and convert performance into market impact.

My belief, as the Englund Project Management Consultancy, is that all leaders need to create healthy environments for people to consistently and sustainably achieve project success. Sponsors can do a better job of guiding and supporting project teams, and project managers can expand their people skills. To this end, Randall L Englund offers keynote talks, consulting, professional facilitation, executive education, books, articles, and advanced training services to people in management, managing projects, and working on project teams. My approach includes the behavioral, technical, business, leadership, influence, negotiation, political, conflict and change management aspects that create an environment for project success. The goal is to get greater, optimized results from projects underway or contemplated in the organization. An organic approach to implementing project, program, and portfolio management taps the inherent power of people to work in harmony, have fun, and be more productive. A framework to approach success is L2M2-­leadership, learning, means, and motivation. Advances in project and organizational maturity require all four factors in abundance. Served as program manager at HP, provide workshops for PMI, clients, and graduate university certificate courses, and offer tailored educations for executives, managers, and teams. Received honors from the Project Management Institute.
