We offer:

Consulting: We provide our expertise in Business Analysis, Strategic Planning, and Business Data Modeling.  We work with your organization to develop an effective program to build a Sustainable High Performing Culture.

Meeting Facilitation: Our philosophy is that outcomes must be developed with and by the group. We use structured facilitated workshops to enable our clients to develop their ideas, thus ensuring ownership of the outcome. This is essential because buy-in is necessary to make outcomes successful.

Our classes provide consistency in terminology, models, and concepts that are built upon the fundamental principles of structured facilitation - they share ideas using a consistent basis of understanding.

Coaching: We provide coaching based on the individual's needs, experience, and professional goals.

Support: We support the International Association of Facilitators - IAF Core Facilitator Competencies and what students need to lean to achieve them, enabling those people who wish to pursue their IAF Certified™ Professional Facilitator (CPF) designation.

Founder & CEO

MG Rush Systems, Inc.

Prior to starting MG Rush Systems, I successfully implemented and managed a Development Center at CNA Insurance and assisted in developing the GUIDE (IBM User Group) handbook on Development Centers. In addition, I facilitated numerous  workshops and started the JAD Project at GUIDE.

In 1985, I formed MG Rush Systems to offer consulting and Facilitator services. After extensive research into various facilitated workshop techniques and many hours of experience leading meeting facilitation, I created and developed my own structured facilitation technique FAST - Facilitated Application Specification Technique - and became widely recognized as a leader in the movement towards structured facilitation - transforming the facilitation industry. I wrote a facilitation "how to" manual - The FAST Session Leader Reference Manual - and developed training on "how to" be a Facilitator - FAST Session Leader Workshop class. While writing the manual, I wrote and article, published in Computerworld - "A FAST Way to Define System Requirements", describing the different variations of JAD.

In 2004, I sold to Morgan Madison & Co. the non-exclusive rights to reproduce the FAST and FORM class materials and use them to provide The FAST Session Leader Workshop class - subject to royalties from 2004 - 2009 along with the use of the "MG Rush" name. I transferred my facilitation know how to Terrence Metz - 1999 FAST Session Leader Workshop class alumnus - to provide FAST public and in-house Facilitator training as of June 2004 as MG Rush Performance Learning a division of Morgan Madison & Co. (not affiliated with me).

In June 2004, I ceased operations of MG Rush Systems and left the U.S. to pursue my dream of becoming a restaurateur - MG Rush dba Miracles Restaurant in Puerto Rico. After a one year absence, I returned to consulting to continue my legacy as a recognized leader in the field of Structured Facilitation and Facilitator Training, changing my company name to MGR Consulting.
