Peter Shears, is founder of People Chemistry, LLC and developer of the People Chemistry(SM) model for organizational, personal and societal behavior. Mr. Shears has an accomplished career in solving complex problems related to organizational development, whether at the technical, operational or organizational level. Since founding People Chemistry, Mr. Shears has expanded the application of these capabilities to societal development challenges, as well.
In the first phase of his career, Mr. Shears developed expertise in the optimization of high value manufacturing processes and related infrastructure. He applied this experience to the development of an expert system (computer based process simulation technology) that routinely helped his clients reduce estimated manufacturing costs by 40-80%. Based on his many accomplishments in this field, Mr. Shears was recruited as a Subject Matter Expert to a large public sector program with the US Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS), which included a strategic collaboration with the World Health Organization. In this role, his skills were instrumental in generating several billions of dollars in projected program savings through the development and application of innovative program management tools and systems. Following his tenure with DHHS, Mr. Shears applied his skills to market analysis and strategic planning for new healthcare products and manufacturing technologies entering domestic or international markets.
In his personal life, Mr. Shears engages in community service for individuals with physical and mental health disabilities, and supports recovery programs related to the substance abuse epidemic affecting his region of the U.S.
Based on his substantial experience in private, public and voluntary sector programs, Mr. Shears developed the People Chemistry organizational behavior (OB) model as a consensus building tool to enhance project/management team efficiency and mission success. OB experts have recognized the significant value that Mr. Shears’ model contributes to this vital field, as well as its potential in broader societal development applications. Mr. Shears now leads the research and development of the People Chemistry model’s applications, as well as its use as a training and consulting resource for company clients.
