About

I’m Jason George, a management consultant and writer. I help leadership teams make important strategic decisions and communicate them clearly. I write about strategy, how organizations work, and the language of business.

What I write about. Strategic concepts through a wide range of examples, from sari shops in Kerala to the hemoglobin in your blood. The jargon dictionary started as a running list of the silly phrases that permeate the business world, and for one brief moment became the #1 most downloaded document in McKinsey’s internal knowledge portal.

Background. I studied at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Business School. I’ve worked at McKinsey & Company and in government and development-sector roles, and today I run an independent consulting practice, based in the Washington, DC area. My clients range from Fortune 100 companies to small nonprofits.

Jeopardy! Many moons ago I was a contestant on the game show Jeopardy! and wrote an in-depth series about the experience, from the tryout to the studio. If you’re at all curious about what goes on behind the scenes, find out more in this series.
