What some past clients have said:
“We have overcome the adversarial atmosphere and continue to improve supervision”
“We were impressed in that there seemed to be consistent evidence of marked improvement”
“I think the project has been highly effective in identifying the key issues, bringing together a group of people who are able and empowered to influence the issues, establishing the key problems and setting a strategic direction”“
“One of the things that John picked up on is a difference between managing a tight ship and undermining, and I think that was certainly one of the things he talked to us about. It related to one individual in particular. I have seen that person […], they’ve been more aware of when they are doing that and tried to modify that”
“I think John is excellent. He handles what is clearly a difficult process very well […] actually everyone liked it very much, everyone thought what he had to say was valuable and interesting and I think it has made a difference.”
