The Delta Group Florida was founded in January 1990 for the expressed purposes of disseminating the philosophy and organizational development theories and ideas of Dr. James R. Fisher, Jr., based on his long career in the complex organization and from an international empirical perspective.

Dr. Fisher, a Ph.D. in organization/industrial psychology, has written extensively and presented his ideas on four continents and has made literally hundreds of OD interventions in both the public and private sector in the United States and abroad.

The Delta Group Florida is dedicated exclusively to publishing and promulgating his ideas in books, essays, seminars, consulting work, conference appearances, and keynote speeches.

Betty A. Fisher is president and managing director of operations, while Dr. Fisher is senior partner.

In recent years, The Delta Group Florida has broadened its base from primarily dealing with organizational development issues of the complex corporation to include Dr. Fisher’s philosophical take on the societal shift from a sensate to an ideational culture with all the trauma, confusion, and variable influences that that shift has entailed socially and economically.

This has led to the creation of the website and blog of The Peripatetic Philosopher, a multidimensional view of this cultural transition at the micro and macro level. Two new books soon to be released demonstrate this latest concept.

Who Put You in the Cage looks at this transition from the micro level, whereas Near Journey’s End: Can the Planet Earth Survive Self-indulgent Man looks at it from the macro level. Both books are due out in late 2005 or early 2006.

Many of Dr. Fisher’s essays and books are posted on The Peripatetic Philosopher blog (peripateticphilosopher.blogspot.com) as well as on this website, and with other Internet research engine providers.

Dr. Fisher has a limited schedule for speaking engagements and needs a three-month advance notice. For those interested, contact Betty A. Fisher by phone/fax at (813) 989 – 3631 or by email at TheDeltaGrpFL@cs.com.
