Morry Morgan's/ClarkMorgan's Libelous and Defamatory Conduct.

We, that is myself and my colleagues at TW Allison, have acted with considerable restraint in the face of Morry Morgan's bare-faced lying about our company. However, as Mr. Morgan continues to engage in completely unethical conduct against, not just our company, but against his own clients, I must speak out.

The latest incident of Mr. Morgan's unethical conduct, as far as I am aware of, occured just this past May of 2010. At that time, we were negotiating a partnership with BritCham, Guangzhou, in order to provide soft skills training for both member and non-members of BritCham.

Apparently, the GM of BritCham heard there was an IP issue between ClarkMorgan and our company, so he called Morgan. In the telephone conversation Mr. Morgan made the following claims.
He stated that ClarkMorgan was suing five different training firms, including ours, for theft of IP. He tried to scare BritCham's GM by stating that any company or organization that used our firm for training could also be caught up in the legal issues involved with IP theft.

Morry Morgan likely didn't realize that the GM of BritCham has an extensive background in "big business," and pretty quickly was able to see through Morry's bluster. Joryi Tan and I met with the GM of BritCham at his request, and we filled him in on the truth about what Morry has been up to with regards to our company. In fact, this was not the first time that Morry tried this same tactic in order to try to "crush" our company.

In May of 2009, after Morry discovered that I had conducted a two-day IBW course for Sun Microsystems in Beijing, he took it upon himself to phone Sun's Learning & Development Manger for Greater China. He told her that we were using stolen IP from ClarkMorgan for our training. This was most laughable, as the training I did for Sun was completely customized.

About a week after this, Morry sent an email to my business partner, Jane Wu. It was an obvious effort to try to scare Jane. In his email he stated,
"As I am sure you are aware, a number of clients have provided us with evidence that Michael Allison and Joryi Tan have supplied them with Intellectual Property (IP) belonging to ClarkMorgan. One such client is Sun Microsystems."

The interesting part about all of this, is that at the very moment that Jane received this email, I had literally just gotten off of the phone with the Learning & Development Manager from Sun Microsystems.

So, what do you think I did? I immediately called her back, and I asked her if she or anyone else
at Sun had given any of our training material to Morry Morgan or anyone else at ClarkMorgan. "Absolutely not," was her comment. "We would never do that."

Even, if Sun had given Morry Morgan our training materials, what do you think Morry would have discovered? Nothing to file a lawsuit over, that's for sure!

So, I forwarded this manager a copy of the email that Morry had sent to Jane Wu, wherein he made the staement above, or more precisely, wherein he made a patently false statement about one of his own company's largest clients. Yes, you read that correctly, Sun was one of ClarkMorgan's largest clients, and yet Morry Morgan thought nothing of lying about one of his own clients.

I'm sure you can imagine what the Learning & Development Manager at Sun thought about ClarkMorgan after this incident. Further to this, I sent Andy Clark, Morry's business partner, an email with all of these details and and suggested that Morry should call the L&D manager at Sun to apologize for his lie.

Subsequently, in the fall of 2009, Joryi Tan and I visited the L&D manager at the Sun offices in Hong Kong. At that time, she told us that neither Morry nor Andy had apologized to her over this incident and that it was not likely that she would use ClarkMorgan's services in the future.

You expect people that train your staff to practice what they preach. Funny thing, Morry Morgan talks about "evolving people," and yet he continues to spread his lies, not just about our company, but about others as well.

Morry's very proud of his brands - Network HR, Spark, ClarkMorgan, etc., and if you go to the website for ClarkMorgan you'll even notice that they've partnered with the LES50ONS company. I wonder what such a company would really think about having a partner that over and over again has proven himself to be the consummate unprofessional and is even willing to lie about his own clients and to potential clients in order to achieve whatever it is that he's trying achieve.

I wonder, what kind of a GM or Director would engage in such conduct?

I find it really interesting, that in his efforts to "crush" our company, Morry has done nothing but damage his own reputation. And as for TW Allison? Well, we're providing training for BritCham, so thanks Morry, you've simply given us an opportunity to highlight the truth about these matters.
