Mr. Terrence Metz is a founding partner of Morgan Madison & Company.

For over twenty years, through professional and academic endeavors, Terrence has focused on improving group decision making processes. His experience has proven that the two most important components to effective decision-making processes are:

1. Higher quality information all but assures higher quality decisions
2. Properly managed conflict provides groups with more “reasons” to consider - and teams with more options make better selections

Terrence is passionate about using and teaching FAST techniques so that people and teams make more informed decisions.

Terrence, also known as “T-Metz” to friends, family, and course graduates, graduated from a FAST class many years ago. He has since developed much of the updated curriculum over the past seven years.

After graduating with his MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, Terrence continued to earn his Green Belt in Six Sigma processes from Motorola University. He also supported FAST Session Leader (2001), helped revise the FAST Enterprise Model by adding the customer and product development perspectives, and created his very effective SWOT technique that is now used in all FAST curricula.

As an undergraduate at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL), his other professional experience has focused on innovation, idea management, and market and product development processes. Terrence has a P&L background in capital goods markets with highly engineered-products and services (e.g., Honeywell Inc.).

Terrence Metz is an expert group facilitator, trainer, and developer of work flow processes and Voice of the Market inputs that accelerate commercial success. As a consultant, Terrence's engagements include strategic development, business planning, problem-solving, continuous improvement, organizational design, process design, customer 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.

Terrence Metz also completed additional graduate work in inter-cultural decision-making processes at Marquette University, is a board member of the Product Development & Management Association, and a long-time member of the IFA (International Facilitators Association), MFNA (Midwest Facilitators Network Association), and WFS (World Future Society). Most importantly, Terrence is an effective communicator and is equally adept at teaching public classes as well as customizing private classes for companies and departments.
