ProblemThe CIO of a consumer products company wanted his organization to be more customer and process focused to improve employee and customer satisfaction.

ResultsUsing the leadership tools, skills and principles learned in the Leadership Institute workshops, the CIO invited his managers to participate in the budget process, saving $3M in operating costs, and resulting in long-term executive commitment to this initiative.

 

ProblemThe Managing Partner of an accounting company merged four small CPA firms. He needed a unified business plan to meet market demands, drive future growth, and integrate acquired employees.
