“I am delighted with our decision to hire Dan for strategic planning and organizational development. He has a strong knowledge base, educated us on organizational growth issues, facilitated fruitful discussions, and helped us organize a roadmap for how to proceed. I really appreciated his ability to take our jumbled group conversations and distill them into clear action items.
We were so impressed by our initial consultations that we chose to hire him again to help us develop investment guidelines and structure our budget. He did a brilliant job keeping us on task and formulating a strong working budget as well as giving us the tools to continue on our own. Dan delivered above our expectations, was proactive about moving the process forward, and was personable and easy to work with. We will absolutely hire Dan in the future if we find ourselves in need of his guidance, and we highly recommend him.
