Certification is obtained through a program in partnership with the University of Michigan Economic Growth Institute.

Ashlee Breitner

Decision Coach Certification Program Lead

The machine behind the scenes, Ashlee is the go-to person for Decision Coach Certification. An MBA from Wayne State University and a BS in Education from Eastern Michigan University have served her well as she has worked with thousands of customers and suppliers across the globe to diversify their business through certification services that protect and improve public health. When she isn’t busy changing the world for the better, she can likely be found at the lake with her family.

Stephanie Ludwig

Decision Coach Project Manager

When Decision Coaches have a question, Stephanie is almost always the answer. Stephanie works with Ashlee to keep the DC program running smooth and to support building out our community of coaches. Her work with companies in Michigan that supply the Department of Defense (DoD) to support them in stabilizing, growing and diversifying their businesses has been instrumental in growing the coach program. When you add in her background in national level training and a Big Ten education from Michigan State University, you have a winning combination. When not working, Stephanie enjoys time with her family and travel.

What attracted you to Allovance?

I was actively searching for a strategic planning approach that was more systematic than I had seen in use.

Where do you see the best application for using Allovance?

I think there’s a huge audience for strategic planning that’s even larger than the one for capital allocation. Anywhere people can define where they want to go, they’ll need to choose how they want to get there, and weigh options, so that could extend to departments within a company as well as the larger company.

What is one thing you have changed about your work after going through the Coach Certification?

I inquire more about strategic planning when I speak with clients. I want them to see a conversation on Vision/Mission/Values as a precursor to a strategic plan as each should reinforce the other. I recognize that much of my work in leadership and communication best practices is really about helping people engage more effectively in decision making, and Allovance is a structured task-oriented approach pointed at that same goal.

What do you enjoy in your free time?

I am currently enjoying our new pedal assist bikes which we can fold up and take places, and if I’m home for long, I love to bake!
