"We invested in making sure different groups were involved from the beginning...[as a result]...a measure of an ROI is the level of excitement about this digital transformation.
For the first time in my 20+ year history, people are excited -- people are giving their blessing and support in the briefings and allocating money and resources ON the spot versus having to think about it.
That's a tangible shift that would not have happened had it not been for the many ways in which you helped us strategize about building our change gameplan."

"[We are] ...a high risk-averse culture, our [dated] solution to mitigate risk was to spend gruelling hours solving for every possible contingency before moving forward. You pointed out on several occasions, how our perfect recommendations were not getting to the decision-makers timely enough for them to support our ideas. In fact, our perfect recommendations became moot.
It is hard to swallow that we had to learn this the hard way, but you were there for us!
You helped us revamp not just how we worked but helped us redefine how iterative methods of refinement is just perfectionism in short, quick, cycles of efforts. Brilliant!
