Dennis B. Rogalski

Owner

As owner of TROPOS Success Systems, Dennis Rogalski helps organizations become more effective through people development.  He also helps individuals understand and achieve success in their careers and personal lives.  Dennis’ experience of over 30 years solving diverse problems in a variety of industries uniquely enables him to assist organizations in achieving their goals and creating solutions to their problems.  His execution of results-oriented, innovative approaches enables clients to surpass previously established levels. 

Dennis originally started as a practitioner in the manufacturing industry holding several staff and management positions.  Here he learned the complexities of business and the realities of working in a “traditional” environment.  Since then, he has had the opportunity to work and learn as a consultant to hundreds of companies of varying environments and cultures – from the likes of DuPont, Exxon, and Phillip Morris to mid-sized companies to the individual entrepreneur. 

Dennis has worked hundreds of projects contributing in a variety of ways, ranging from the strategic to the tactical, giving him the opportunity to work with management and staff at all levels.  These projects have included strategic planning, business process improvement, business needs assessments, goal setting, program development, solution architecture and design, investment justification, requirements analysis and definition, application evaluation and selection, and systems implementation.  He also has experience in project management, teaming, and change management, and Manufacturing Resource Planning specific consulting.  And for the entrepreneur, it also includes business evaluation, selection, and start-up. 

Dennis’ approach has always been to integrate and align business, organization, and tools to achieve business objectives.  But he learned that in order to ensure alignment to business goals, he needed to help companies establish those goals.  And few companies paid much attention to the people aspects.  So, Dennis ensures that TROPOS Success Systems concentrates its efforts on strategic and business planning, people development, and business process improvement. 

His style ensures the client owns the content.  He guides client teams to discover the opportunities, issues, and solutions.  The focus on business objectives and complete client involvement ensure the expected business results are achieved.

Dennis holds a BS in Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences from Northwestern University and an MBA from the University of Chicago, specializing in Production Management and Accounting.  He received his Certification at the Fellow Level in Production and Inventory Management from the American Production and Inventory Control Society in 1983.  Dennis has taught Production and Inventory Management at McHenry County College.
