Maggie Walsh

With almost two decades of organization development experience, Ms. Walsh has designed, developed, and facilitated programs supporting organizational redesign, strategic initiatives, and leadership development.  Her portfolio includes a wide range of learning systems, curricula, and approaches (including high-impact simulations, experiential and interactive games and exercises, face-to-face workshops, distance learning and self-study programs, competency models, assessments/research, and web-based and blended learning).        Ms. Walsh’s work also includes over a decade of product development for training and consulting firms in the areas of leadership, sales, and service.
           
Ms. Walsh has worked with all management levels—including front line managers/teams and leadership teams.  Her experience informs her work with clients, and she ensures that learning experiences are tied firmly to business results.  Her practice evidences the strong belief that people in organizations learn best in the context of real work whether inside or outside the classroom. 

Prior to starting her own practice in 1997, Ms. Walsh was the Director of Training and Education Product Development for the Strategic Development division of a Fortune 40 healthcare company and Director of Product Development/Senior Consultant for a training and development consulting company, where she was senior consultant to over a dozen healthcare organizations.  She has worked in the financial services, consumer products, oil and gas, professional services, high-tech, insurance, entertainment, contract research, and advertising industries.

In addition to her private sector experience, Ms. Walsh has worked as a consultant in the public sector on strategic and organizational change initiatives.  At the Texas Department of Health, she worked directly with the Commissioner and top leadership team to achieve consensus around an organization redesign.  She has worked with other State agencies and Austin area non-profit organizations on a variety of strategic initiatives. 

Maggie earned her Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from the University of Texas at Austin where she taught undergraduate psychology, designed and managed a number of research initiatives, and published peer-reviewed research papers in scientific journals.  She currently resides in Austin with her family.
