Our staff not only are able to identify closely with your concerns, but they bring perspective to you: they aren't limited by the politics, institutionalized practices, and industry practices that might be part of your challenges. Their focus is the most direct and effective way to generate the results you desire, taking into account those issues and staff that must be included to produce the outcome. Russell Giles
As a consultant to hundreds of corporations, Dr. Mary Riley has assisted clients in merging corporate goals with the needs of employees, for a sustained impact on quality and profitability for the company in tandem with rewarding careers for employees. Mary is an advisor on Allies' board, and contributes to Allies' IP and marketing. In her 20-plus
years of business and government consulting, prior
to joining Allies Consulting, she was a
principal of Pacific Management Group and of Morgan
Research & Innovation. Before that, she was
Director of Training Operations for Xerox Learning
Systems. She received
her Ph.D. at Claremont Graduate School, mentored by
Peter Drucker, and an MPA in Public Policy from
USC. Drucker is still her mentor, as is Sir John
Templeton of Franklin Templeton Funds and Bob
Galvin, CEO of Motorola. She is a
member of the ASTD, American Compensation
Association, Society for Human Resource Management,
and on the teaching staff and curriculum committee
for University of Phoenix. She has taught MBA
courses at Sonoma State University, University of
Phoenix, University of Portland and Golden Gate
University in organizational systems and practices,
leadership, team building, strategic planning, and
productivity. Mary's first book, "Corporate Healing" (Health Communications, 1990) provided solutions to sabotaging behaviors in the workplace. She has authored many articles for a diverse corporate population. Her second book, "Leadership Begins with You: 3 Rules That Will Transform Your Job Into a Career " (Penguin/Putnam/Perigee, 2001), is a primer for solid management and leadership skills.
Since 1976,
Ric Lobosco (founder and CEO of Allies
Consulting) has produced, and enabled others to
produce exceptional results in a wide range of
industries and organizations. Among his
accomplishments, he successfully turned around a
hi-tech firm in 1989, increasing revenues
eight-fold in 6 months, preparing it to gross
millions of dollars annually and take market share
from RCA and GE. He implemented highly productive
and innovative programs with such firms as AT&T
Paradyne Corporation and Harris Corporation. Mr.
Lobosco has also worked with several hi-tech
startups, assisting them with their growth. In
1993, he co-founded an international association of
his peers. He has had leadership roles in the San
Rafael Chamber of Commerce since 1992, and SofTECH,
a San Francisco area hi-tech association.
He has spoken
widely (including at San Francisco's Commonwealth
Club), written for business publications, and has
taught business courses to high school, college and
business groups. Mr. Lobosco's
training and experience encompass thousands of
hours of education in business, consulting,
coaching, effective communication techniques, and
motivational skills. Kurt Sussman has been programming computers and testing software since 1977 when his dad brought an Apple IIe home. Since then, he has worked for two of the top 10 software companies, written test plans for $99 keyboards and $1M server clusters, and in 1998 he started a QA contracting business. That business is currently incubating two e-commerce startups. Kurt is Allies CTO and the developer creating the Online High Performance Management System.
