Background ..and Patches | This web site on problem solving and leadership evolved out of over 30 years of organizational consulting. Prior to that career, I was an adjunct professor at Stanford University teaching in the Sociology Department for 18 years. Coincident with that experience, I had a practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist for about ten years. Starting in the late 1970's, I moved into organizational development consulting, accumulating over 250 client engagements since that time. My clients included companies in high tech R&D, hospitality, health care, the military, manufacturing, banking and credit unions, education, publishing, mental health, city and county government, not-for-profits, and large consulting houses...and one organic grocery store. Throughout all these experiences, the common focus was on how people think about and manage complex situations, how they attempt to solve the problems in their world, and how they form relationships with others in that effort. The other elements of my practice are visible on my other site. Patches is shown here because she is always with me in the office,
so I'm sure she played a significant role in the develoment of these
