President / Founder
J. Kevin Fisher
Insight
Reflecting on our work throughout the world since 1989, the challenges our clients faced and the real lessons from each, I have learned to go beyond the intended outcomes of a given project. It is the positive consequence of concentrated work efforts that create opportunities. In all cases, success came to those business leaders who were passionate, curious, and committed life-long learners. These qualities enable individuals in any organization to discover the best opportunities and find new paths to the future.
