Mr. Terrence Metz is a founding partner of Morgan Madison & Company.
Since the end of 1999, Terrence has been a founding principal partner and vice president at Morgan Madison & Company. For over twenty years, through professional and academic endeavors, he has focused on improving group decision making approaches. His experience has proven that the two most important components to effective group decision-making are:
- Higher quality information assures higher quality decisions
- Properly facilitated conflict provides groups with more options to consider
and groups with more options are proven to make higher quality decisions
Terrence is passionate about using and teaching the FAST technique so that individuals and groups make more informed decisions. He earned his Six Sigma Green Belt® from Motorola University and wrote most of the existing FAST curriculum. Terrence made the FAST technique more robust by adding and enhancing decision-making tools such as PowerBalls and the FAST quantitative SWOT technique that is used worldwide by Fortune 1000 companies. He introduced the concept of holism to the field of structured facilitation as a method for keeping discussions on target and aligning deliverables throughout an organization.
Since 1999, Terrence has taught nearly two hundred classes. His facilitation philosophy aligns perfectly with the FAST technique as shown by Dr Dyer’s statement, “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”(2000)
As an undergraduate of Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) and MBA graduate from NWU’s Kellogg School of Management, his professional experience has focused on process innovation, idea management, and product development. Terrence has a P&L background in capital goods markets with highly engineered-products and services (eg, Honeywell).
He is an expert group facilitator, instructor, and developer of workflow processes and Voice of the Market inputs that accelerate commercial success. His engagements have included strategic development, business planning, problem-solving, continuous improvement, organizational design, process design, customer cognitivity workshops, and market-based product development and launch. His clients include senior officers and general management among numerous private and public companies and global corporations.
Recently he has worked with William Malek, co-author of “Executing Your Strategy”
(Harvard Business Press, January 2008) to build the platform, annotated agendas, and SIPOCOs that instruct organizations on how to consensually transform strategy into projects and action.
