Partner with executives, entrepreneurs, and organizations to provide what is needed to move people and businesses to new levels of effectiveness and success.

Ed Gurowitz has spent over 20 years on the front lines of organizational transformation. In 1985 he was one of the designers of an effort that helped IBM go from having missed the boat in the emerging personal computer industry to being an industry leader in less than 3 years. This program became the internationally respected Executive Excellence Program, which Ed designed and delivered to over 300 top executives from 1991 to 1998.

After successful careers in research and clinical psychology and as a designer and deliverer of human development seminars, Ed founded the Center for Management Design in 1991 and was one of the founding partners of the Generative Leadership Group, an international management consultancy. In his work with companies ranging from Fortune 500 organizations to startup companies, he has concentrated on producing large-scale organizational change while maintaining and increasing productivity and profitability and on helping companies to produce breakthroughs - results that are well beyond what was previously thought possible. In addition to his work in North America, he has worked extensively in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Australia. His work has included working with non-profits and governments (he was a consultant to Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres) as well as international corporations.

Ed is a leading-edge thinker in the area of leadership, management, and organizational design. The author of two books, The Molecular Basis of Memory and the forthcoming Growing Up: It’s Not Just for Kids Anymore and numerous articles on clinical psychology, organizational psychology, and management, he has specialized for the past 15 years in leadership development, strategy consulting, and executive mentoring and coaching. He has been a coach and mentor to CEOs and upper-level executives of Fortune 500 firms as well as small businesses and startup companies.

In 2001 he has undertaken to establish the US operations of Merryck and Co. Limited, a firm founded in the UK that specializes in mentoring for CEOs and top executives of global companies.

Ed Gurowitz holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cornell University and a doctorate in psychology from the University of Rochester. He also holds the Certified Professional Consultant to Management (CPCM) certification from the National Bureau of Certified Consultants. He is on the Boards of several companies and also of a number of non-profit organizations.

As a business professional, Ed brings 20 years of experience in management and consulting, including nine years as founder and leader of a consulting firm that grew to $5+ million in revenues in the first three years. Consulting with CEOs and top executives of organizations ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies, he has facilitated the creation of strategic plans, vision and mission statements, and organizational re-engineering plans to achieve specific goals. Providing new thinking models and coaching to executive teams, he has assisted corporations in returning the company to leadership in creativity and innovation in order to capture markets, in focusing resources toward targeted goals, in designing matrix-based operations to improve productivity, and in instituting cultural change. His documented successes include doubling sales, order of magnitude profit increases, and cost reductions.
