The Lowry Group, LLC

The Lowry Group, LLC (TLG) is the outgrowth of over two decades of experience dealing with difficult moments in organizations throughout the United States and around the world. TLG's work began as an external consulting, systems design and training resource composed of faculty from the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine University School of Law. The Straus Institute has been named the number one graduate program of its kind for the past nine years by U.S. News & World Report. But TLG has moved beyond its academic roots to respond to repeated requests from corporate and government organizations for "real world" assistance. The TLG team has been chosen by scores of major organizations that must become more effective in business transactions and dispute resolution. TLG offers a stellar group of professionals representing the disciplines of dispute resolution, law, change management, human resources, systems design, professional training and executive coaching. Many of the TLG resource people hold faculty appointments at key universities, teaching what they do for real clients. Many are noted authors. All TLG team members are practitioners, helping organizations and their leaders on five continents. TLG recognizes that health care leaders demand a great deal from the consultants they hire. TLG is ready to meet those expectations, so ready, in fact, that its work is completely guaranteed. If a client is not satisfied with the work of TLG, no fee will be charged. Most firms do not make such a promise. TLG is not like most firms.
