EASTHAMPTON, MA – Latham joins International “Strategy Masterminds” group.

Organizational performance expert Ann Latham, president of Uncommon Clarity, Inc., is one of the founding members of The Strategy Masterminds, an international network of management consultants from the USA, the UK, Canada, and Germany. 

“It was an honor to be selected to join this small and accomplished group,” says Ms. Latham. “The breadth and depth of experience, along with the international perspective, makes this the most compelling consulting network I have ever encountered.”

The purpose of this network, initiated by Lisa Hamaker (Kaliday Marketing, Bolton, MA), is to leverage the diverse and international experience of the members to develop better, more sustainable results in less time for each member’s clients. Latham appreciates the way this group’s members raise the bar for each other and keep the focus on what is best for the clients. “While we are all enriched by sharing our knowledge, techniques, and insights, our clients are the real winners.”

Another member, Dr. Guido Quelle (Mandat Managementberatung GmbH, Dortmund, Germany), adds that “the likelihood that a certain challenge has already been mastered by a member of the network is high,” which will obviously translate into better outcomes while saving a client’s time and money.

The network connects once a month via the Internet or conference calls for a facilitated discussion. “We exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and parse case studies for best practices,” says Latham.

“The world is changing faster than ever,” continues Latham. “The ability to tap the collective brainpower and experience of this group on a regular basis is very exciting.”

Other members include Stuart Cross (Morgan Cross Consulting Ltd., Newark, UK), Pamela Harper (Business Advancement Inc., Glen Rock, NJ), and Phil Symchych (Symchych Consulting Group, Regina, Canada).

Ann Latham is the president of Uncommon Clarity, Inc., a firm that dramatically improves individual and organizational performance. She has worked with the likes of Boeing and Hitachi, though her clients also include small businesses and non-profits. Her work has taken her throughout the U.S. and Europe, as well as to South America and East Asia.

Ann authors a newsletter read all over the world and is frequently quoted as an expert source in publications across the country including Forbes, BusinessWeek, and MSNBC. Her book, Clear Thoughts – Pragmatic Gems of Better Business Thinking, was recently published.
