Services
For nearly two decades, Tom has been retained as an eminent consultant and expert witness in products liability and organizational negligence cases. In more than 40 cases, his success rate has been 96% in favor of the clients he has represented, both plaintiff and defendant.
This unusual claim is the result of a radical (and trademarked) methodology entitled Forensic Business Pathology®. The professional execution of FBP is based on 50+ years of experience in Quality Control and Quality Assurance. This methodology has never been successfully challenged by opposing counsel and he has never been the target of a Daubert Hearing.
Expert reports and testimony is based on empirically proving acceptable or negligent standard of care by the defendant in delivering products and services to the stream of commerce. Citations are often based on internationally recognized quality systems standards. Typically, the most compelling testimony comes from the defendant’s own quality procedures and whether or not they were following them.
For years, Tom has also been providing training for quality auditors and in CLE training for attorneys. His 11th book is entitled Foreseeable Risk, published by Lawyers and Judges Publishing.

Consulting
The foundation for Tom’s 50+ year career as a consultant, trainer and mentor began with his 14-year tenure at NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston during Project Apollo. The teams that made the lunar landings possible were comprised of highly motivated individuals who had a common vision to land men on the moon and return them home safely. The mission they executed was launched by President Kennedy. The value system we had was self imposed that we would never lose an astronaut in space.
When Tom moved into private industry, he continued to replicate the vision, mission and values of NASA running three different manufacturing companies. This experience yielded his proprietary methodologies of quality as a profit center and self-directed work teams.
For more than 30 years, he has been influencing enlightened leaders to create teams that drive defects from their products and services. He has worked with more than 700 companies and brings a unique world of experiential data to his assignments.
Today, he is conducting online training, online consulting and expert witness services for his clients. He is also mentoring the next generation of quality professionals to abandon defect prevention and risk management in favor of business process excellence and risk avoidance.
Business Success
THRIVING INSTEAD OF SURVIVING
Sooner or later, most entrepreneurial businesses reach a stage of growth where the daily rigors of running the business become more time consuming than the business itself. Dealing with customer issues, finances, employees, suppliers, and overhead can slow or halt the growth of the business.
From 50+ years of experience working with more than 700 companies, from startups to Fortune 100, The Taormina Group has developed a methodology that examines the vision, mission and values of the owners and helps them create a path to reach their strategic goals.
We’ve focused on helping motivated leaders in the Northern Nevada region to maximize their productivity, reduce their costs, greatly increase customer satisfaction, and shield themselves from liability. We offer business consulting that does not create burdensome costs but can be structured around reward for performance.
If you are overstressed and in need of immediate relief from just surviving, give Tom Taormina a call. The call is free, but the rewards may be substantial. We are proud members of WTA.
