Marlin Dolinsky

 

Marlin Dolinsky is a former graduate-level professor in management psychology and technology at three California universities. A software engineer, graphic artist, and clinical psychologist by training, his unique combination of hard skills and soft skills provide a more-informed perspective on effectively implementing technical projects. Marlin is credited with inventing in 1973 the sound flip-flop circuit commonly known through TV ads as The Clapper. He is a management consultant, a Certified Enterprise Java Programmer, J2EE architect, UML expert, Web services designer and the highest-rated Java Programming instructor for Learning Tree International.

Marlin’s doctoral research included analysis of cognitive architectures of the brain. His study suggests that information technology is evolving along the same path that brain research has already covered. His work suggests IT business and technology failures are rooted in an alarming lack of understanding in how people think and make decisions.

Prior to joining NetWEB Elite Solutions, Marlin has worked with nuclear scientists at GE Medical Magnetic Resonance Imaging labs, and with programmers, software architects, team leads, and executive levels at EMC, IBM, AOL-Time Warner, Aspen Technologies, Verizon, John Deere, PacBell, Accenture, US Marines, US Army, US Navy, KPMG, Verizon, Telcordia, Abercrombie & Fitch, Moog Controls, the Pentagon, FBI, Federal Reserve Bank, SunGard, Northern Trust Bank, Harvard University, Cornell University, Loma Linda University Medical Center, and many others.

Over a 5-year period, as a management consultant with an international firm, he conducted face-to-face interviews with the top leaders of 1000 companies from small startup to Fortune 100 on IT strategy and leadership development issues.

Marlin is best known for his participation with Boeing and Daiwa Bank in The London Project, a groundbreaking artificial intelligence research endeavor trying to capture in code the decision-making skills of some of Europe’s best foreign-market traders. The resulting set of 21 distinctly different mental methods (processes) fall into 3 major qualitatively different groupings. The objectively measurable 21 mental methods can graphically map a person’s thinking preferences to that which a task most needs. The better the match, the more effective the performance., a first in people-to-technology management measures. He is now customizing this tool for the U.S. Navy.

Marlin currently resides in Southern California.
