Author Biography

HAL MCLEAN, In his twenty-five years of managing The McLean Group, Hal McLean has honed a unique ability to liberate hidden capacity in businesses, creating value far beyond the bottom line. Major companies often call on Hal after larger consulting firms have tried and failed to create the fundamental changes that are needed. Hal's knack for tackling big, complex problems in new ways helps him deliver impressive results, often without any additional capital.

As a recent college graduate, Hal began working with the Fortune 500 company Owens Corning. He rapidly became one of the company's most successful salesmen and was fast-tracked for promotion, rising quickly through the company. Within a few years, he found himself working as a business analyst under the vice president of the company's three largest divisions. It was in this role that Hal discovered his aptitude for cutting through the noise to identify the "levers" in each business that lead to significant performance improvements. In his own words, he learned to find "the difference that makes the difference."

After ten years with Owens Corning, Hal moved to Wilson Learning to develop his skills in managing corporate change. Five years later, he founded The McLean Group to take his skills to new heights. When he started the business, Hal and his wife Barb already had two children. She wisely told him, "Go for it, you can always find another job." As it turned out, she had nothing to worry about.

Today, Hal and Barb live in lovely Knoxville, Tennessee. They have three adult children--Jenn, Molly, and Pete--all of whom currently manage their own businesses.

FRANK MELLON, In a nearly thirty-year career innovating in Fortune 500 companies and his own business, Mellon Solutions, Frank Mellon has built a reputation for identifying and capturing value for clients on an exceptional scale. His flair for recognizing untapped opportunity and putting it to work has created significant bottom-line impact for his clients, often at levels they've not imagined. He has been working with The McLean Group since Frank founded his consulting company, Mellon Solutions, in 2002. In fact, Hal was Frank's first client, and they've been working together ever since.
