Wayne Mackey

Wayne Mackey
Wayne Mackey has been a Principal with Product Development Consulting, Inc. since 1997. Prior to joining PDC, he worked in industry for 20 years in high tech, aerospace and automotive fields. He is a natural change agent and leader, having counseled Fortune 500 companies, major universities (Stanford, MIT, Carnegie-Mellon) and government agencies in product development, supply chain management, and rapidly implementing enterprise-wide change. Mr. Mackey also has worked as a senior scientist, program manager, engineering manager and systems engineering manager.

Wayne Mackey’s expertise is grounded in over twenty years of hands-on leadership of large engineering, manufacturing, and procurement organizations. He is co-author of the best selling book Value Innovation Portfolio Management: Achieving Double-Digit Growth Through Customer Value, and co-author of the PDMA Toolbook for Product Development III. Wayne earned a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering and economics from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and a Master of Science in engineering, from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California.

Highlights

Wayne Mackey is an internationally acknowledged expert in metrics, achieving rapid organizational change, partnering and applying the voice of the customer to product development. He became involved with Management Roundtable back when he was an engineering manager at a large aerospace corporation; remarkably, he still thinks like a practitioner – realistic, down to earth, and hands-on. He understands corporate objectives and knows how to achieve buy-in, consensus and continuous improvement.

He describes his approach as follows: “My work is the absolute antithesis of ‘cookie cutter.’ I’m not interested in replicating a formula across all the companies I work with. Every customer is different and every job is different. But I don’t look at just solving today’s problem and walking away — it’s a partnership. To be successful in the long run, companies have to incorporate what they learn from us into the fabric of how they operate.”
