Timothy Jaques

Tim Jaques co-founded Line of Sight in 2005, and assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer in 2009. A long time management consultant, his career began with a serendipitous meeting to discuss a business plan he had written for a local small business. That conversation inspired Tim to align his career with his passion for helping businesses succeed. He has led government and commercial organizations through a wide array of business transformations. As CEO of Line of Sight, he is responsible for the growth and smooth operation of a fast growing professional services company.

Mr. Jaques has architected major change initiatives in a diverse set of business sectors including insurance, not-for-profit, government, transportation, energy, and technology. Mr. Jaques brings a data-driven approach to change, finding new paths forward with insight into human patterns. Tim enjoys using visual tools and engaging approaches to leverage the talents and strengths of the team.

A master facilitator, Mr. Jaques has led dozens of teams through strategic planning, process development, and executive decision-making initiatives. He brings a strategic mindset to these engagements, developing simple, stepwise solutions to complex, often divisive issues. His engagements often spur innovative new directions for teams and organizations. Mr. Jaques has authored numerous strategic plans for commercial and governmental organizations. Recently, he developed the Strategic Planning Collaborative, a highly interactive five-part course for executives to develop practical strategic plans, while sharing best practices.

Mr. Jaques has written extensively on project management, organizational change, and the planning-execution cycle. He co-authored “Achieving Project Management Success in the Federal Government,” published in early 2010 and nominated for the Project Management Institute’s Book of the Year. His next book, The Government Managers’ Guide To Project Management is due out in late 2013. Mr. Jaques has co-authored numerous chapters for textbooks, and authored dozens of papers and articles. Mr. Jaques is currently writing a new book entitled The Optimal Organization: Making Change In A Fast World, which explores emerging best practices in the fields of organizational change, communications, and human performance.
