DESCRIPTION:[]\n\nMonday\, January 12\, 2026\n5:30pm – 7:30 pm\n\nSD IEEE
  Consultants&#39; Network: January 2026 Meeting (&quot;Home Base&quot;)\n\nWhy Smart Tea
 ms Struggle to Ship—\nand How the Right-Sized Framework Unlocks Progress
 \n\nSmart teams fail to deliver for two opposite reasons: some are buried 
 under too much process\, while others lack the structure needed to scale. 
 In both cases\, the result is the same—slow progress\, misalignment\, an
 d frustration.\nIn this informative talk\, David Lee Robie\, Ph.D.\, autho
 r of The Right-Sized Framework (www.rightsizedframework.com)\, introduces 
 the concept of right-sized systems: leadership\, process\, and execution c
 alibrated to the real needs of the team. Drawing on experience across aero
 space\, defense\, and advanced technology programs\, Dave shows how leader
 s can recognize when to simplify—and when to add structure—to reduce d
 rag\, eliminate chaos\, and create momentum. Attendees will leave with pra
 ctical insight into how to find the right-sized balance that allows teams 
 to execute with clarity\, confidence\, and accountability.\nSPEAKER\nDavid
  Lee Robie\, Ph.D. is an entrepreneur\, technology leader\, and the author
  of The Right-Sized Framework. He has spent his career turning complex tec
 hnology into real-world capability across government and industry. As CEO 
 of Bolder Consulting Group\, Dave helps organizations build strong partner
 ships\, lead cross-functional teams\, and bring innovative products to mar
 ket—without unnecessary complexity.\nPreviously\, he served as Chief Ope
 rating Officer at Innoflight and led a space and advanced programs divisio
 n at General Atomics\, where his teams delivered spacecraft and advanced s
 ystems for customers including NASA and the United States Space Force. Ear
 lier in his career\, he advised senior leaders at the Pentagon on emerging
  technologies and long-term innovation strategy.\nDr. Robie holds a Ph.D. 
 in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. In his wor
 k and writing\, he focuses on helping technical leaders scale ideas into p
 roducts by aligning people\, process\, and execution.\n\nLOCATION:\n\nLeuc
