Bio

Over the last 35 years Jerry Talley has had over 450 consulting engagements in organizational development. He has worked with companies mostly in Silicon Valley, but a few as far away as New York and New Zealand. His clients have come from high-tech software, hardware, pharmaceuticals, City and County government, manufacturing, hospitality, health care, defense, the intelligence community, utilities, telecom, labor unions, publishing, entertainment, aeronautics, commercial construction, banks and credit unions, higher education, consulting firms, mental health facilities, numerous not-for-profits, and one organic grocery store.

His current practice spans knowledge capture, work process analysis, culture change, group process, leadership, and advanced problem solving, but the common thread is unraveling problems of inordinate complexity.

Prior to his consulting career, he was an Adjunct Professor at Stanford University for 15 years, an instructor in family therapy at Santa Clara University, and a couples therapist for 10 years. He also worked on a psychiatric ward for 4 years (excellent experience for organizational work).
