Denver Peak Academy
Innovate. Elevate. Repeat.
Jerraud Coleman is a creative, positive and hardworking Performance Improvement Specialist for the City and County of Denver’s Peak Academy. Alongside a great team of professionals, he facilitates process improvement events, trains employees of governments, non-profits and other enterprises (nationally, abroad and at all levels) in the principles and methods of “Lean” and other change management tools like PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act/Adjust). Jerraud believes that “sharing and talking about these tools can help enterprises identify and sustain the elimination of any waste found within any process. Thus resulting in happier customers, a more effective and efficient process, as well as a better product or service overall.”
Jerraud holds a BFA (in Integrated Arts) from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
