WE TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF TEAMWORK.

Did you know that your people are the greatest predictors of your business success? It’s true. Likewise, dysfunctional teams are disruptive—undermining trust, performance, and productivity. The qualities that make your team or governing board inspired collaborators and resilient performers are also the qualities that make them challenging to manage.

Jim Mueller and his associates love to help you take the guesswork out of teamwork so you can focus on the bigger picture.

Whether you’re a start-up making critical hiring decisions, a business that’s outgrown its org chart, or a culture that needs to retool its strategic plan, JMA can ease you through those angst-inducing challenges with their proprietary approach,

You come away with a reinvigorated team that has self-awareness and crucial decision-making tools—competencies necessary for today’s rising tide of expectations.

"The best strategic planning coalesces deep, unbiased organizational self-awareness of the present and creates
a comprehensive vision of the potential of the future. When everything falls into place, leadership has its organizational
assessment and road map, while the staff sees the soundness of the path before them. As the former Acting Director
for the Smithsonian Science Education Center, I watched Jim and his staff expertly guide yet deftly adapt their
consultation as they assessed our organization at a critical juncture as he helped it from beginning to end discover
its potential and path. In every meeting with Jim, he masterfully guided and reinforced our team as we made our own
plan. After reflecting upon the opportunity to work with Jim for over a year, I am both amazed and impressed at his
genius and subtly in helping us own our potential."
