Retreat Client Testimonials
"Many thanks for your excellent work at the WSA retreat. You were truly instrumental in getting us to a point of agreement about our industry vision. I believe we would have had a different outcome had you not helped us. Thanks so much. We are looking forward to continuing to work with you."
Kathy Wilcox
Executive Director
Washington Software Alliance
"The strategic planning process has been a success. Your contribution has been great in keeping us focused on the outcomes and the clarity of the message. I appreciate your strong hand in guiding the Board of Directors while still allowing David Guiliani and I to "lead" the group. Your counsel on preparing for the critical issues and future vision was dead on target."
Lee Cheatham
Executive Director
Washington Technology Center
"Norm Levy's experience was invaluable in establishing a strategic planning process. This allowed us to successfully address the critical issues facing our business."
