John A. “Jack” Lee, Jr.
President

I created Strategist, Inc. in 1984 to share my philosophy of organizational success through engaging people's spirits, not just their hands.  At that time a transformation was well underway from industrial to informational industries, but organizational cultures were still locked in command and control mode.  The paradigm shift would require a cultural change to invite everyone to think and do, not just management.  I developed processes that focus on stimulating initiative from the masses; helping them to hold themselves accountable and increase productivity, reducing the need for supervision and thus lowering payroll expenses.  As the years have passed I learned that the most efficient method to inspire the masses is to design an environment where employees are permitted to create change not react to it.  My processes are dedicated to answering these guiding questions for environmental design: "What happens after what comes next?" & "What is happening while I am watching what happens after what comes next?" By helping organizations answer these questions I have led cultural changes in advertising, fast food, automotive, promotional, retail, wholesale, public relations, medical distribution, real estate and non-profit environments.
