Norm contributed greatly to Pacific Bioscience Laboratories (Clarisonic) for more than a year by utilizing a wide range of skills: strategist, planner, executive, organizational developer, and a human being. Norm has a natural skill of seeing the inside game of effective organizations, and helping people raise their awareness and develop their skills. PBL is now a much better run company through Norm’s strategic planning and organizational development processes.

“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.”

Executive Director
Washington Technology Center

“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

Thank you for the assistance you have provided to the Trustees and Industry Representatives under the Labor Management Cooperation Trust Fund. The progress that the group made was surprising to each individual and your expertise cleared the way on many issues. I was personally impressed the your meeting leadership and the fine materials that you used in preparing the group for the process of planning.

“The test of any strategic plan is whether or not it is updated and used to guide annual operational planning and allocation of resources. At the Washington Athletic Club, the plan that was developed under Norm Levy’s facilitation has been updated annually since 1996 and, once approved by the Board of Governors, has served as the basis of each operating plan, operating budget and capital improvement budget. Norm Levy provided the sound direction for planning structure that has been very important to the WAC being rated one of the nations four best city/athletic clubs.”

Jim Johnson
President/CEO
Washington Athletic Club

Sincere thanks and appreciation for your contribution to our 1990 Convention. Your topic hit those of us who are business owners right between the eyes. We were inspired by your insights into our industry and know that your ideas will be mulled over, incorporated and used long after 1990 is past.

Donald E. Heath
Secretary
Washington Association of Landscape Professionals

Your exceptional abilities as a facilitator not only kept our management group on track, but developed a genuine enthusiasm for our planning process. An important side benefit we received is that this has truly been a team building exercise.

“Norm is the best catalyst for organizational success I have ever worked with. An intent listener, he has almost an uncanny sixth sense for identifying underlying people issues and has helped us to understand and separate personal” from “business” and to honor each. This allowed my partners and me to break out of old patterns, restructure our company from “owner consensus management” to “owner/Board/CEO” decision-making. This allowed us to position Synsor to best meet our significant growth challenge and create a win/win for all of us. Norm is just exceptional. I recommend him highly.”

Edward J. Kramer
Chairman
SYNSOR Corporation

Strategic Development was instrumental in forming our alliances with 3M Energy Control Products and SEARS Window Tinting. Norm’s keen understanding of our vision has led us become a major player in the industry.

Norm Levy has been retained as a consultant for the past two years. Initially he was instrumental in assisting the Board of Directors and senior management in the development of a long-term strategic plan. Subsequently he was involved in the designing of incentive compensation systems and the development of a Human Resources Policy Manual. Our relationship with Norm has been extremely productive. He exhibits exceptional organizational skills and creates an environment that encourages the active participation of the management team. I recommend him very highly.
