Kemper is the founding partner and chairman/CEO of KLMK Group, LLC, a leading national healthcare facilities consulting firm in Richmond, Virginia. Mr. Kemper has more than 33 years of experience in all aspects of facilities development, and for the past 12 years he has worked exclusively for healthcare providers across the United States as well as in other countries. Prior to founding KLMK Group, Mr. Kemper served as president and chief operating officer of the W.R. Adams Company, Inc. which was a leading national project-management firm. "Kemper mentions the need for compatibility between internal and external project teams. I thought this point was a soft sell until our internal and external teams began working together. The personality conflicts can certainly have a major impact on the process of the project if they (the teams) are not positive and productive. Kemper was right when he said good chemistry between the teams is extremely important. It s this kind of advice that makes Kemper s book invaluable to any healthcare executive who is in the launch stage of a capital project." Lyle E.
