Carleton J. Clement
Director, Business Operations

Carleton J. Clement currently serves as Director, Business Operations for Organizational Design Inc. (ODI). Carleton has held this position since rejoining the team in 2006. In this role, he is tasked with the daily management of ongoing study efforts, training operations, web content and personnel/contractor management.

Carleton has worked for ODI on two previous occasions; in 1998 he participated in a summer marketing internship, partnering with Pepsi-Cola, and later spent 2 years as a full-time Sales and Marketing Representative where he was responsible for generating new business and increasing revenue opportunities by organizing international management conferences in North America and Asia. 

Prior to his current role, Carleton spent 5 years at G&K Services, where he held various sales roles from Route Sales, Territory Sales, Major Account Sales and eventually responsible for all Direct Sales in the Colorado region. His willingness to “go farther” than his competitor and offer “outside the norm” product availability led to explosive market share growth, as well as the highest corporate sales honors. Carleton eventually secured exclusive partnerships with leading oil and gas companies to provide flame retardant safety apparel to thousands of employees in rural Colorado. 

Upon his return to ODI, Carleton immediately began working on multiple organizational studies for the U.S. Army, most notably a 4-year analysis of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM). After conducting more than 600 interviews in 5 countries, the project eventually led to a smaller, more agile headquarters, a centrally located regional structure and approximately $700M in annual savings. In addition to extensive project work within the Department of Defense, Carleton has also conducted organizational studies in the private sector for companies such as Office Depot and Textron Defense Systems. He has also participated in Global Requisite Organizational Summits held in Canada and Argentina.

Carleton is a graduate of The University of Tulsa and holds a BSBA - Management degree. He also holds SECRET Level Security Clearance issued by the U.S. Department of Defense. Carleton has received numerous sales awards including the “Spirit of Excellence Award,” “Benchmark Award”, and “Colorado’s Top Sales Executive” four times.
