Strategic Thinking & Decision-Making Training
What Participants Say
Participants from such diverse companies as Bell Canada, Sabre, Ernst & Young, NOAA, the National Research Council of Canada, the faculty of Economics & Business at the University of Sydney (Australia), GlaxoSmithKline, Philip Morris, Hartford Insurance and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music have benefited from our strategic mapping and decision-making process.
Here is what they say:
“After returning home, I immediately used the tools. Seeing the value, my boss decided to attend. Afterward, she wanted everyone in our unit to have the same opportunity. We are a public utility. We run lean and we do not spend money without seeing a return on our investment. My department recently had its annual two-day planning session and we used Joe’s strategic planning map. Normally we struggle to finish in two days. This year, using the mapping tools, we finished in a little more than a day. The kind and gentle, but powerfully effective program that Joe teaches is life changing.”
–June Taylor, NW Natural
“...nothing I’ve been to compares with what this program delivers. It provides an inspiring setting to learn and practice innovative processes for creative, effective strategic thinking, problem/situation analysis and plans/ strategies for your organization. The sessions are intensive and constructive. You’ll return with valuable tools and techniques to make a positive difference in your organization – and insight that enriches your career.”
–Tom Veenstra, Florida Power & Light
“This Workshop is the best training opportunity I’ve participated in. I came away energized, with new insights into strategic planning and lots of practical tools. I’ll never forget what I learned. Even though it’s now been 10 years I still remember and use the tools and concepts today.”
–Lori Joseph, Sprint
“I would have rated the program as a positive immediately after my session, but two years later I realize that it has provided the most lasting value of any program I’ve attended. I continue to use what we learned as a basis for strategic planning.”
–Rod Irvin, Eastman Chemical
“I could never have anticipated the injection of energy experienced as a participant of this workshop. I have attended many managerial seminars which promised to be the answer to my company’s concerns. Never has a workshop lived up to the content of its promotional brochure. It forces you to address your position as a manager in a perspective that changes your habitual thought patterns...a program which is a balance of conceptual and structural processes which can lead you to success.”
–Joanne Lowen, Mohawk Oil
Vancouver BC
“I went to the program with an open mind... still I was somewhat skeptical that it really would be different. Afterwards, I agree with so many who have found great value in the tools and practical, applicable information.”
–Jason Sloan, GlaxoSmithKlein,
London, England
“The practical teaching made this one of the most effective programs I’ve attended in 15-plus years.”
–Bill Murschel, KeyCorp
