"Your report
has helped us to see clearly what we must accomplish and you've
given us excellent guidance for working cooperatively to raise
our organization to the level of stability and strength we all
believe it can then sustain in support of future growth and excellence
in programming…Your recommendations were laid out so clearly in
juxtaposition to identified problems that we found it fairly easy
to focus on what we could begin to tackle immediately."

"You both entered
into our lives on a Board level, staff level, and program level
with such ease. We were allowed to feel supported in the process
rather than having the feeling of being judged…I look forward

your suggestions."

"Your work with
the Council in providing an organizational assessment was invaluable.
You have provided both the Board of Directors and myself with
valuable insight into our organization and provided the direction
for which we searched. The Boards' Committees have reviewed all
of the sections of the Diagnostic Clinic report and have provided
the full Board with recommendations for their consideration."
The Council

diagnostic analysis of our organization was, 'just what the doctor

still being digested, looks like a treasure trove of ideas highlighting
important issues and considerations for the Board and Staff as

have been created and delivered by me with the same overall impact."

in need of a plan to implement management policies and systems

and intensive review. The report correctly analyzed our entire
operations and reported both our strengths and weaknesses. What

was "hands on" and the report and recommendations showed that
you had a thorough grasp of the needs of our operations."
