During the last year Norm Levy assisted our Senior Management Team in achieving consensus on direction for our company’s growth and in assessing our leadership capability for achieving our mission. Norm was effective at achieving these results because of his commitment to a process that achieved consensus at every important decision point and by adding his professional expertise when leadership was necessary to assist our Team in seeing what could be. Norm’s obvious skills in facilitating a senior level group, combined with his personal interest in our company got us a result that we believe will move us to our objectives more quickly than we could have on our own.

It has been refreshing to be coached through Strategic Development’s Critical Issues Management process. Your leadership in issue prioritization and project planning has been the best I have seen. I look forward to continuing our relationship.

Eldec has made significant strides in the past two years in defining critical strategic issues and framing responses to them, guided by the expert hand of Norm Levy. Norm’s personal skill at framing important questions and facilitating teamwork among key executives, each of whom enjoy considerable autonomy, has been a major contributor to our progress in formulating future direction and strategic plans. As a result, market strategies have been refined, organizational structure changed and succession planning begun in earnest. I expect that Norm Levy will continue to be a part of our planning process as new critical issues emerge.

Norm’s seven-step process for strategic development with a focus on simplicity worked extremely well. He has an appropriate balance between substance and process and an acute awareness of what techniques work best in a given situation to get at the heart of an issue. He demonstrated a great deal of flexibility in modifying his approach to meet our particular circumstances. He was particularly adroit at helping us weave some of our preliminary strategic efforts into the larger framework. I have no doubt about Norm’s ability to greatly enhance our strategic developments. Everyone on my staff has been highly complementary about Norm’s value-add to resolving major strategic issues for our organization. I would recommend him without reservation.
