Matthew Stitt Leader in Philadelphia July 2020

Strategic, innovative and emerging leader with experience working in for-profit, government and not-for-profit roles.

Joined PFM as a Director in the Management and Budget Consulting Practice Group — and National Lead for Equitable Recovery and Strategic Financial Initiatives — in late 2020.

Co-founded and launched PFM’s Center for Budget Equity and Innovation in 2021 (see further info. below). Formerly served as the Chief Financial Officer at City Council, Philadelphia.

My focus areas at PFM include advising public sector leaders on structural budget, long-range financial and economic planning and development reforms — with a particular focus on applying an equity lens to addressing governing challenges. I also support (manage) the strategy and growth of PFM’s Economic and Real Estate Consulting group.

I was appointed a Distinguished Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, Fels Institute of Government in 2021 — where I also instruct courses for their Executive MPA Program (as an adjunct professor). I also recently completed a three-year tenure with Haverford College’s Board of Managers — serving as a Young Alumni Associate Member.

Global Class: How the World's Fastest-Growing Companies Scale Globally by Focusing Locally

WHAT is Global Class?
The business world has changed and to stay ahead companies have to think, operate and scale differently. Companies need to adopt a new mindset and build distributed teams with a unique set of skills to succeed in new markets. A new strategic approach and revision to the agile methodology are necessary to better balance the need to localize with the complexity that localization creates. 
 
To date, business leaders have had to learn how to scale globally the hard way - through trial, error and failure - since no guidebook existed to light the way... until now.

Author Eugene Pete Wolfe Part 2

Author Eugene "Pete" Wolfe discusses his latest book, "Boris Johnson in 100 Facts discusses the parallels between Boris Johnson and Donald Trump, which are pretty interesting. He also talks about the comparison between Johnson and Gorbachev, de Klerk and Ozawa, the leaders he looked at in his dissertation on the tactics of political reform. In addition he discusses the reform in the Soviet Union, South Africa and Japan in more detail. Specifically, he shares insights about the failure of previous reformers in each of the three countries that created the impression that political change was not possible. Today, when we know that Gorbachev, de Klerk and Ozawa did manage to bring about change, the idea that this once seemed inconceivable may be quite a surprise.  Finally, he talks about his current research, which is on legislative violence in Europe, the US and Japan.
