Our History

Our firm was founded by Jim Lyons (CEO), when after years of studying companies resulted in the identification of a troubling trend – too many companies consistently failed to achieve the desired outcomes from the programs and projects they embarked upon.

It was the same old story, regardless of what consulting firm organizations engaged, they all struggled to consistently succeed. Big 4 consultancies came with big stories and big rates, and staffing companies came with low rates and low capabilities.

Committed to correcting this troubling trend, Magic Hat Consulting was launched in January 2007 with the belief that helping companies improve in three key capabilities – Process Transformation, Program & Project Management and Organizational Change Management, Magic Hat would improve organizations’ overall business performance.

Magic Hat Consulting continues to evolve to best serve our clients, however we remain committed to finding a better way by achieving two simple goals:

(1) Help companies consistently achieve desired outcomes, and

(2) Create a workplace where talented and passionate people will be their best.
