From day one, Terry has wanted to minimize the management of people and paper, and focus on technical and business issues. This means he has not added many employees to the company. This lean overhead translates to time and dollar savings and efficiencies that are shared with his clients. The associates are the organizations and individuals that work closely with Terry. In some cases, they are the clients themselves.
Terry views it as a partnership, with both parties sharing a common goal and vision.
Occasionally, he will involve others on a project, such as a professor or an individual from a corporation. This virtual enterprise approach provides added resources when projects extend beyond the in-house capabilities of Wohlers Associates. Terry's network of friends and associates provides additional opinions, resources, and contacts that his clients find valuable.
