Vantis Credit Union

“The project was about high level strategic planning, to establish a clear direction …they where able to help us put it together and direct the Board. Very good work completed and in a good manner … much team work was involved between the consultant and our senior managers. The Board worked with them as well to make decisions together. We were able to make sure everyone was on the same page, understanding the direction we should be talking. It was very easy to work with them, they where flexible, always bringing ideas to the table that we weren’t able to come up with. They challenged us to approach different things. The project was delivered in a very timely manner, as well as at a very competitive price. The end result was astonishing. We will surpassed our 2010 BAHG in less than two years and in the processed will lead the financial industry with our technological advancement identified during the board strategic planning session ”

Alberta Teacher’s Association

“It was a study of our sub-groups within the association … we were working with a tight timeline to complete the project … we were extremely ambitious, a lot of 14 hour work days. The process was excellent … we learned a lot from it. They where excellent at teaching and taking us through it. They are slave drivers, which was good, since we had tight timelines; they where really good in terms of keeping things going, which I thought was excellent. The results became our bible, it is a reference for all of the other projects that we are doing. We were able to refer back to that study on almost everything we’ve done so far … and we are able to transfer it right into an implementation phase. I would work with them again.”

HTX – The Health Technology Exchange

“We worked with them for 3 months to develop a comprehensive plan that was used to declare the justification for funding from government. Mainly it was a process of building a business plan; they came up with a rigorous process that presented a clear idea of what we needed to do. They where able to extract knowledge from the information given and develop it into a complete plan. It was easy to work with them, as the consulting team had the ability to be flexible in order to enable the process to move forward. They had the ability to get deep enough in our issues and the details, and to understand them. They are mature and disciplined consultants.”
