Alan Hurwitz
Alan Hurwitz, Ed. D. has consulted for the last 30 years to leaders, organizations and sometimes groups of organizations, to help them perform at their highest level to achieve important results. This work has involved diagnosing and addressing complex issues of interpersonal, group and intergroup dynamics. It has involved helping diverse individuals and groups to understand and work with perspectives very different than their own. Alan brings this interpersonal, group and systems perspective to his writing on political and social issues.
