What people say

Jim is a great listener, design thinker and has that unique skill of summarizing those unspoken needs that all consumers strive for in world-class retailers ... and translating those insights into break-through design and operational changes.

Paul Davis
Former President Starbucks, North America, Former CEO Coinstar
Jim is a really remarkable personal coach and innovation guide. He has the rare gift of rapidly and masterfully helping identify the underlying roots of a problem through "looking within," while also giving a personalized framework to address and resolve the problem and move ahead.

Solon Teal
Founder, New Ventures
The funny thing about Jim is he seems to be constantly in touch with the proverbial "big picture." That is to say that when you or your company is striving to look beyond what is, to —what could be—Jim never ceases to be able to point the way. And that he does so with humor, with wisdom, and the greatest personal integrity, makes working with him a profound pleasure.
