The following is a sample of comments from our strategic consulting clients:
DeWayne has a process that helps an organization understand the things it should focus on. The end result is that the whole organization is focused on common goals. When our session was done we had a plan that was very specific and very actionable. As a result of our work with DeWayne, the participants from our company had a list of next steps with individuals and deadlines assigned.
Brent Hesje, President Fountain Tire
The personality profiles & the questionnaires you sent to each of our managers added a lot to the successful launch of our meeting. The meeting itself and the end results were, without a doubt, the best our group has experienced in our twenty years of operations. I was impressed with your skills as a facilitator, you were able to engage all of our people on an equal basis with the different processes that you were using.
R.H. Cardinal, Chief Operating Officer Parklane Homes Ltd.
We have conducted strategic planning sessions in the past and while useful, they were not as soul searching nor as effective and didn t give us the take home value that you generated. It is our intent to continue to involve you in our annual Strategic Planning sessions and I cannot think of greater praise than repeat business from a satisfied customer.
Greg Howard, President Columbia Plastics Ltd.
I found the sessions particularly helpful in that the Board, through a well developed process, came to a strong consensus about objectives as a group rather than relying on staff to direct future objectives. I believe this will pay off in a more committed Board& .
Stephen Kushner, CEO Merit Contractors Association
& at the end of our planning session all participants had come forward with their problems, goals and solutions. We are now ready to work as a team for future growth. We have a plan and we all agree with it. I would highly recommend Concord Consulting s strategic planning process&
Guy Mercier, President Acres Enterprises Ltd.
Thank you for leading us in our strategic planning process. Your experience, professionalism, integrity and performance in this endeavor were exceptional. The benefit of having an unbiased leader take us through this thought process was immeasurable and necessary. The result of your efforts has been a clear vision of what our company will achieve over the next three years. This has resulted in a very substantial work plan for each of the main drivers that integrate into the vision.
President, National Leasing Company
