About
Grant Sommerfeld has an expertise in applying organizational design to build high performance organizations. In his current role, his natural born optimism and can-do attitude resulted in a promotion within 6 months from manager to director in a 12,000-employee healthcare organization operating 10 hospitals and 29 long-term care facilities with responsibility for a functionally diverse organization consisting of 750 employees, a $38.6M annual operating budget and a $31M multi-year capital infrastructure renewal program.
In 2004 he made my largest contributions by strengthening the executive management teams strategic planning and 
organizational development capabilities in a privately held road and rail transportation company operating across North America with sales of $140M and an annual growth rate of over 20%.
From 1998 to 2004 he combined his entrepreneurial skills and reputation as an innovator in a boutique consulting firm that helped clients reduce operating costs and improve customer satisfaction in a series of CEO-mandated projects in a 2,000 employees no fault insurance company and in a small US not-for-profit.
In 1996 he threw away everything he knew about down-sizing (and he knew an awful lot) to successfully manage day-to-day operations and customer service during a period of intense change brought on by rapid growth in a business process outsourcing organization that provided human resources and financial data processing and reporting services to large institutional customers such as the provincial government.
Grant Sommerfeld is passionate about organizational design and efficiency and has a track record of making a positive difference in these areas both as an organizational leader and as a consultant. He has the interest, education, practical experience and aptitude to succeed in this area and to help others succeed.
Grant achieved the third highest rank across Canada during the certification process as a Certified Management Consultant and was mentioned in a story in the March 25, 1999 edition of Canada’s national newspaper, The Globe and Mail.
