… has been the guiding principle of Technology Management Associates, Inc. (TMA) over our decades of management consulting. We also have been writing for, and communicating with, a wider audience through articles, books and other media, and occasional speaking engagements.
What does making a positive difference mean? Here’s how we go about making that positive difference.
As Consultants, we partner with our CLIENTS to get a deeper understanding of our clients’ present “what is” position and what that present position has the positive potential to become “what can be.” This parterning opens the window to better decision-making ideas for and with our clients to reach that potential.
We’re delighted to announce that Joanne Gucwa, a Certified Management Consultant (CMC) for 40 years – since 1982, was recertified for another three years in 2021. 
As Authors, we are committed to sharing what we’ve learned with our READERS, helping them to acquire a deeper understanding of our natural and man-made world. This empowers our readers to make better decisions in their lives and in the community at-large.
Here’s an at-a-glance picture of the kinds of information (or links, for books we’ve written) you’ll find in this site’s pages.
Knowledge Branches represent the major subject categories we target. These categories serve as guideposts for our clients and our publics (readers and audiences) in aquiring deeper understanding and better decision-making in their work and personal lives. You’ll find knowledge branch lists and links in the right sidebar of the Indexes and other content.
