David Franzetta

Dave Franzetta is an innovative thinker and creative problem solver who developed strong leadership and leadership development capabilities over his thirty-year career with Prudential Financial. When he retired from Prudential in 2004 he began his work as an advisor with international think-tank Interchange Associates. A year later he founded Designed Outcomes, a highly specialized consulting firm that works with senior executives to resolve complex and pervasive business problems and business-growth challenges.

His focus is on finding relatively inexpensive and easy to implement ways to resolve, and sometimes simply dissolve, pervasive and vexing business problems. Specialty areas include: working with senior executives to improve their effectiveness, leadership development program design and delivery, and transition and succession planning for entrepreneurs and family business owners.

He began his writing career by penning his blog, Ubiquitous Wisdom, which he started in July, 2011. His first book, co-authored with Moss A. Jackson, PhD, Changing Places: Making a Success of Succession Planning for Entrepreneurs and Family Business Owners, was published in October, 2012 by AuthorHouse.
