e believe that nothing can be accomplished in companies today without the support of their people. The plans and programs we develop get off the ground because our consultants understand what it takes to mobilize people behind changing conditions.

Meridian works with senior executives to establish company direction and shape corporate culture. We tailor our services to each client's needs with input from our experienced consultants. Our broad range of industry experience includes banking, health care, retail, insurance, government, human services, education, associations, hospitality and high-tech.

The Meridian Consulting Group, Inc. designs and structures organizations for the future. Our clients retain a competitive edge through deliberate change and by aligning all of their resources with corporate goals. The end result: Corporate performance improves.

Use our site as a resource and forum for your work with strategic issues. For instance, read a brand new article: Effective Peer Support for Managers by consultant, writer, filmaker Ellen J. Wallach, our valued colleague from Seattle, WA. This piece is one of many in our Take Note section.

We encourage you to take a look at The Northwest Leadership Forum, which is an outstanding program for developing leaders.

The site introduces the strategic work we do to keep companies focused during this era of unremitting change. As you travel through the site, feel free to contribute your ideas relating to this work. To join the dialog, contact me personally at don@themcg.com. I look forward to building and sharing this wealth of experience.

Sincerely, Donald B. Summers President, The Meridian Consulting Group, Inc.
