Dr. Terence Jackson

Transforming How Organizations Transform

Dr. Terence Jackson has spent over two decades studying what makes organizations thrive—and what causes them to fail. His research led to a breakthrough insight: organizational health can be systematically measured, diagnosed, and improved using the same scientific rigor we apply to medicine or engineering.

That insight became the Periodic Table of Organizational Development Operating System (PTOD-OS)—a comprehensive framework that organizes the 60 fundamental elements of organizational excellence across six strategic intelligences.

Today, Dr. Jackson works with Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, healthcare systems, and growth-stage organizations to apply this science. His approach is distinctive: rigorous diagnosis, participatory implementation, and measurable results.

Transformation isn't about changing what you do—it's about evolving who you are. The butterfly doesn't improve upon being a caterpillar; it becomes something entirely new.

The PTOD-OS Perspective

Most consulting treats symptoms. We identify root causes. That's the difference between temporary relief and permanent transformation.

Every organization has the potential for excellence. Our job is to identify what's blocking that potential and create the conditions for it to emerge.

This is not training. This is not a workshop. This is not an initiative. Transformation is a system—a living, breathing, evolving system powered by intelligence, perspective, and environment.

How Dr. Jackson Works

1

Scientific Rigor

Every engagement begins with comprehensive diagnosis. No assumptions, no guesswork—just data-driven insight into your organization's true health across all six intelligences.

2

Root Cause Focus

We don't treat symptoms. Root Cause Intelligence identifies why problems exist and how they cascade across your organization—so interventions actually work.

3

Participatory Change

Transformation happens with people, not to them. Every engagement involves stakeholders at all levels—building ownership and capability simultaneously.

4

Measurable Progress

The metamorphosis journey is tracked continuously. You always know exactly where you are—Caterpillar, Cocoon, or Butterfly—and what comes next.

5

Sustainable Results

We build internal capability, not dependency. When we leave, your organization has the tools and knowledge to continue evolving on its own.

6

Honest Partnership

Dr. Jackson tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Real transformation requires honesty about current reality and future possibility.
