MADE for PerformanceTM helps organizations convert aspiration into execution. Dr. Jenkins combines behavioral science and process engineering to redesign culture from slogans to structure.

In partnership with clients such as Microsoft, FedEx, and Trinity Health, Jenkins applies the MADE FrameworkTM  Mapping, Alignment, Data, Execution—to synchronize operations and morale. Research shows that engaged workplaces achieve ~22 % higher productivity (Gallup, 2023) and 72 % of communication-only culture initiatives fail (HBR, 2025). MADE fixes that gap by aligning decision rights, workflow cadence, and accountability systems.

Own the Algorithm™ equips executives and clinicians to integrate AI ethically and effectively. Dr. Jenkins—an applied practitioner in healthcare AI—bridges human intuition with algorithmic precision through his Governance × Workflow × Integrity Model™.

While 53% of organizations see ROI from AI, 74% fail to scale beyond pilots (BCG, 2024). This program turns chaos into coherence by defining decision hierarchies, drift-monitoring systems, and human-in-the-loop safeguards.

How healthcare systems thrive when budgets fall, burnout rises, and lives hang in the balance. When hospitals face resource scarcity, leadership fatigue, and workforce turnover, survival depends on more than compliance—it depends on system performance. Win When™ equips healthcare leaders to align mission and measurement so they can win when others wait.

Dr. Kevin Ahmaad Jenkins—University of Pennsylvania lecturer and systems performance engineer—has guided 50+ hospital associations and multi-state health systems in building cultures of resilience that withstand budget cuts, staff shortages, and regulatory shifts. His proprietary Performance Continuity Framework™ fuses data transparency, biopsychosocial health, and team rhythm to restore precision under pressure.

The reality: 63% of healthcare workers report burnout, and 1 in 4 plan to leave their organization within a year (CDC, 2023). Each 1-point rise in turnover costs systems $5–8 million annually (NSI, 2024). Yet, institutions implementing structured resilience systems show up to 25% higher staff retention and measurable gains in patient outcomes (AAMC, 2023).

What do you lead when everything keeps changing?
Lead What’s Next™ empowers leaders to thrive amid generational shifts, tech acceleration, and political volatility. Using his Adaptive Leadership Loop™, Dr. Jenkins shows how to harmonize multigenerational teams, integrate automation, and maintain moral clarity.

With five generations now sharing the workforce (Pew, 2024) and 68% of executives saying technology outpaces leadership readiness (Deloitte, 2025), adaptive systems are non-negotiable. Organizations with high adaptability cultures are 3× more likely to outperform peers (McKinsey, 2024).

Stress isn’t the problem. Misreading it is.
This keynote and lab decode stress as operational intelligence. Using research on chronic disease and performance in high-risk populations, Dr. Jenkins shows how biopsychosocial stress data predict financial and cultural health.

The WHO estimates that workplace stress costs the global economy US $1 trillion annually in lost productivity. Employees under unmanaged strain are 129% more likely to consider leaving (APA, 2021). Jenkins’ Human Systems Resilience Model™ helps leaders detect and redesign those fault lines—turning fatigue into foresight.

How to lead, publish, and protect integrity when the world questions your work.

The Scholar Under Fire™ is for academic leaders, researchers, and educators navigating moral complexity and public scrutiny. Dr. Jenkins—who endured threats during his own research career—translates that lived adversity into a roadmap for intellectual courage.

Participants learn the Referee Decision Velocity Framework™, integrating bioethics, emotional regulation, and institutional accountability. Backed by Penn research on stress physiology and cognitive performance, the program builds scholars who can sustain rigor under pressure.

Studies reveal that 73% of academics experience moderate–severe stress and 32% show burnout symptoms (Wei & Singh, BMC Psychology, 2025). Yet, structured resilience training reduces attrition by 30% and doubles scholarly productivity (Hasson & Roitman, Int. J. Psychophysiology, 2024).

“TRUTH NEEDS A NERVOUS SYSTEM—ONE BUILT TO STAND THE HEAT.” —DR. KEVIN AHMAAD JENKINS

Mentorship isn’t magic—it’s math.
The Performance Bond™ converts mentorship from an informal tradition into a measurable system of growth. Dr. Jenkins’ Agentic Mentorship Model™ merges empathy, analytics, and accountability to build cultures where guidance becomes infrastructure.

Data proves it: formal mentoring yields 25% higher retention for mentees and 20% higher for mentors (Gartner, 2023). Mentorship-driven engagement boosts productivity 18–23% (HBR Analytics, 2024), and in healthcare, formal mentorship improves clinician retention by 40% (AAMC, 2023).
