About JMW

Founded in 1982, JMW is an award-winning consultancy with over 40 years of experience helping global business leaders bring bold strategies to life and achieve transformative performance. We’ve partnered with CEOs and leadership teams at more than 700 organizations across 40 countries and five continents.

What sets our work apart is our singular focus on the human element. Decades of supporting high-stakes initiatives have shown us that success isn’t driven by structure or strategy alone — it comes down to the mindset and behavior of the people leading the effort. That’s where we come in.

“JMW’s unique combination of developing leadership while focusing on achieving specific results is complementary and supportive in having a company achieve a new level of performance. Having JMW on board provides an incredible tool for any leader trying to transform their company from where it is to where they want it to be.”
Former CEO, Fortune 100 Global Organization
“I used all the major consulting companies to help transform our organization. JMW had the most impact on realizing our mission and increasing our delivery performance.”
Former CEO, Fortune 100 / FTSE 100 Global Organization
“JMW is not there to tell people how to run their business, but how to be more of themselves and deliver results. JMW shows people how to do things they didn’t know they could do. The leverage ratio, instead of 1 to 20, is more like 1 to 200. With the people in the company doing the implementation, the power is left in the company — along with an enduring sense of how it can perform.”

What Sets Us Apart

Our thinking and our approach are meaningfully different from others in the space — built on long experience, proven effectiveness, and a willingness to depart from conventional wisdom.

Boldly Human.

We don’t lead with structure or process. Instead, we begin with people: helping clients understand the interpersonal dynamics within their most complex business challenges. Then, we work to address those challenges through the power of leadership behavior and mindset and the multiplier of truly clear, consistent communication.

Impact Obsessed.

Powerful results are our core objective. JMW identifies and removes individual and collective barriers to performance, empowering companies to take the strategic risks that lead to dramatic, measurable success.

Non-Prescriptive.

No two engagements are alike, so we approach every client with an open mind and a bespoke approach. We listen carefully and engage deliberately, helping you align to shared purpose and achieve extraordinary results.

Continuously Committed.

Advancing organizational performance at scale is a dynamic, non-linear process. As it evolves, we play a consistent, stable partnership role — helping ensure that clients have access to JMW as a source of guidance and insight through the course of the engagement and beyond.

Proven at Scale.

For more than 40 years, we have worked around the globe to deliver dramatic business results for some of the world’s largest companies. Whether applied in a multi-billion-dollar capital project or an organization-wide initiative, our approach deeply embeds new decision-making behaviors and scales them through every leadership level.

Seamless in Execution.

We help ensure continuity through coordinated deployments that link strategy development, leadership team consulting, and individual coaching. This thread of focused practitioner engagement and consistent strategic vision helps create a rare degree of alignment across your organization, multiplying our effect on your business performance.
