The Schutz Company (est. 1980) is a boutique consulting firm that has been a pioneer in the human dynamics of breakthrough performance and organizational transformation. We operate at the intersection of strategy and people, where culture meets results and vision is realized.

For decades, we’ve partnered with organizations to drive results and have their people thrive. We bring a deep expertise in human and organizational performance. Our clients bring their vision, unique backgrounds, and technical expertise. In partnership, we accelerate organizational growth, value-creation, and collaboration.

Our unique perspective is that people and their ways of being, operating, and relating are the engine of organizational success. Our methodology — The Human Element^® — has been developed and refined over decades to accelerate individual, team, and organizational effectiveness. Our work gets to the source of breakthrough performance and company-wide transformation.

Our firm has over 70 years of experience in group dynamics and 40 years in organizational applications, a track record nearly unmatched in the consulting world and built entirely on referrals and reputation. The foundation of our methodology and everything we do is FIRO^® — a unique, powerful, and scientifically validated theory for advancing interpersonal relations created by our founder, Will Schutz, Ph.D., in the 1950s while serving in the U.S. Navy as a research psychologist.

We have worked with hundreds of organizations in dozens of countries including NASA, Unilever, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Shell Oil, U.S. Army, and Procter & Gamble. Our work has been translated into over a dozen languages and has found its way into best-selling books, academic institutions, podcasts, the human potential movement, a global network of practitioners, and executive offices around the world.
