"I loved this presentation because it cut through the noise of buzzwords and expensive tech trends with real clarity. Bob delivered a practical, insightful reminder that organizations don’t need bigger, flashier systems to succeed, they need alignment, readiness, and the courage to ask better questions before investing. His humor, honesty, and real-world experience made the session both refreshing and energizing. It left me feeling more confident about guiding teams toward solutions that actually work."
"In five minutes, Bob covers every common-sense question and thought you've ever had during a software implementation but couldn't voice out loud because, "politics." The next time a project like that is on the horizon, have Bob present to your leadership team beforehand. It'll save your entire organization a lot of grief and unnecessary expense."

61 Keys is proud to have helped clients in healthcare, medical device, apparel, manufacturing, consumer products, food & beverage, distribution, services, non-profit, and higher education.

A standard piano has 88 keys - a full range, but the far ends are rarely used. Working rock and pop musicians will often opt for a more focused, portable range. A popular option is 61 keys, versatile yet practical for working professionals.
61 Keys LLC takes the same approach to consulting by being practical and focused to help get just what you need to solve problems, be more productive, create clarity, and develop stronger teams.
Bob Wallis is a professional speaker, strategist, consultant, and creative leader who is less interested in conventional wisdom than helping his customers with successful transformations that actually produce results. His current work centers around de-risking transformation: rescuing projects, rebuilding teams, and restoring clarity when organizations are stretched thin and the stakes are high. Bob has guided transformations, projects, and software vendor selection in small and medium organizations all the way to billion-dollar enterprises. His approach is practical. First, understand “what problem are you trying to solve?” Then align people, processes, decisions, data, and technology to solve it. Period. Drawing from decades in both business and music, he combines a strategic perspective and analytical precision with creative thinking and intuitive people skills. He’s known for stabilizing chaos, developing next-generation leaders, and bringing his calm approach (along with a good sense of humor) to transformation efforts with any of the usual acronyms: ERP, CRM, WMS, PLM, HRMS, AI of course, and more.
As a speaker, Bob mixes calm authority with a dry wit and a storyteller’s sense of rhythm. His talks explore project success, leadership, talent development, collaboration, and adaptive strategy with equal parts substance and humor, reminding audiences that serious progress doesn’t have to feel so serious.
