About Rick
work with organizations that are developing complex products or services in markets so fast-moving that to succeed, their people need state-of-the art teamwork. The techniques I've developed and collected include some unusual twists. They're drawn from a variety of sources — solid practice, history, psychology, and my own experience and education. Using a mix of presentation, metaphor, humor and simulation, I guide my clients in applying these ideas and inventing new ones.
My focus is improving personal and organizational effectiveness. I have expertise in abnormal situations, such as technical emergencies, understaffed and highly fluid organizations, and high-pressure project situations.
Trained in electrical engineering and theoretical physics, I'm a former software engineer and entrepreneur. I worked in the computer industry and in Defense systems for 15 years, as an engineer, an engineering manager and a project manager. Towards the end of that time, while researching advanced software development environments under a DoD contract, I realized that we as engineers could probably do as much to increase project productivity by improving how we work together as we could by inventing new technologies. I began to study the work of Gerald Weinberg, Dani Weinberg, Jean McLendon and Virginia Satir, and this led me through several years of independent study to my current field of focus. My practice now emphasizes training and consulting to executives and to project groups in dynamic companies, where success depends on high performance.
