"Growing up in the Midwest among huge oak trees, I took inspiration from tiny acorns that grew, with time and support, into major fixtures on the landscape.  As I grow my own consulting practice, the acorn’s example feels like the perfect fit for me and for the outcomes I deliver to my clients".         

Ainsley has been an innovator, synthesizer and leader for more than two decades in the people side of information systems work. She has strong skills and experience in creating collaborations, planning, managing programs/projects and helping organizations be more agile.

Ainsley has developed her unique consulting perspective through leveraging her corporate experience, PMP, CSM and MS in Educational Psychology to provide consulting and facilitation for people in companies ranging from Fortune 500 to biotech start-up and non-profits.

III asks the questions technology tries to answer. Exploiting his four decades of systems experience and his skills as a master facilitator (and a degree in Dramatic Art), he coaches teams through strategic planning, chartering, essence modeling, tough decisions, retrospecting, brain liberty and having great fun doing good work.  His company (Systemodels) teaches and consults with projects and teams across North America, and has worked with clients in most primary sectors of the economy.  Before starting his own practice, III was a senior staff consultant with Yourdon, Inc. and a Senior Research Analyst with Bank of America.  For enjoyment and spiritual amusement, he travels throughout the West in his 1970 VW Bus (extending its half-million mile journey).
