Hello, and welcome to our website. I am James Felton, Principal Consultant at the Table Group. I proudly and humbly bring 20 years of experience in leading organisations and people to Organisational Health. It has been my philosophy and understanding that both the goals and needs of a team can blend with the ones of the individuals in that group.

I take great satisfaction in seeing organizations develop clarity, growth, and success based on this simple but ever evolving principle. Hear from some of my ongoing clients:

“James has been one of the biggest influences for our company. The ROI on our Organizational Health efforts has been the best of any investment I’ve ever made (that is the truth). If only I could explain the peace I’ve found as a leader by going through this process.”

Arlan Campbell, CEO, Steel Tech Manufacturing

“Partnering with James and Keith was better than I could have imagined. They challenged many of our business beliefs in positive and productive ways. The strategic &amp cultural clarity produced with them helped us become a much healthier firm. Our revenue and profit margin increases mirrored our organizational health improvements in the following years!”

Ben Westra, CEO, WDS Construction

“Over the past three years, the relationship I’ve built with James has been instrumental in my growth as a leader and in helping me build a cohesive, productive leadership team.”

Erik Twist, Arizona President, Great Hearts Academies

Here are some of the organizations we have the pleasure of working with:
