Helping businesses and leaders turn complexity into clarity—and clarity into
performance.


Michael Sidra is a senior executive with deep leadership and consulting experience across Canada’s health, business, and nonprofit sectors. As a senior leader within Alberta Health Services—Canada’s largest integrated health system—he led major initiatives that achieved over $12 million in cost avoidance, improved patient outcomes, and strengthened system-wide performance. He also oversaw the allocation of nearly $1 billion in activity-based funding to long-term care facilities across Alberta, bringing a sharp focus on equity, accountability, and value for money.

Michael also works as an executive coach and business planning consultant, providing tailored support to private businesses and nonprofit organizations. He has helped dozens of entrepreneurs secure millions in funding through investor-ready business plans, go-to-market strategies, and detailed financial modelling. His approach blends analytical precision with compelling storytelling, ensuring strategies resonate with funders, boards, and leadership teams alike.

Michael brings strong credentials to KASPRE’s custom training and curriculum development services, having designed and delivered post-secondary programs at Concordia University College. His academic leadership encompasses curriculum design, instruction, and applied learning development, making him exceptionally well-equipped to lead capacity-building initiatives, training workshops, and executive learning programs for clients across various sectors.

Holding a PhD, MBA, and PMP certification, Michael specializes in turning strategic plans into measurable outcomes. He helps organizations develop meaningful KPIs, implementation roadmaps, and continuous improvement systems that drive sustained performance. Whether working with early-stage startups, established businesses, or public-sector organizations, his focus remains the same: delivering practical strategies, tracking what matters, and ensuring execution that delivers.

Known for his collaborative and pragmatic coaching style, Michael frequently facilitates strategic planning sessions, leadership retreats, and performance improvement workshops. He is a sought-after speaker on innovation and quality improvement—particularly at the intersection where bold ideas meet operational discipline to produce lasting change.
