What Clients Say
On behalf of the California Rice Commission Board of Directors, let me thank you for the outstanding job facilitating our 5–year strategic planning process. The plan was adopted by unanimous consent! We are now well along the way implementing our strategic initiatives.
There are a number of items that stand out during our collaborative nine–month process. First, was your ability to generate input from our industry and the experts that assisted us in identifying key trends impacting California rice. Everyone was heard and all had the opportunity for input. Second, was your skill in getting the industry to focus on the key issues that were critical, rather than all of the issues raised. The result of these two key elements was the inclusive process we desired and the critical strategic focus we needed.
I also want to thank you for the great service and client attention. Both were remarkable. In an era of phone conferences and emails, you took the time to meet and understand the California rice industry.
Larry got us to a place we couldn’t get to on our own. We were struggling with shared vision…he got us on the same page. Could not have moved forward without Larry’s guidance/path-finding. Larry was able to get me to understand the staff perspective. The number of touches he has had on organizations – his breadth – is very helpful. Larry is thoughtful, could understand the outcome that was needed.
Larry gave us direction and process. He helped us to define our most critical roles, put together all of our thoughts, and come out with clear definitions. Larry saved me a year’s salary with his knowledge, honesty, tools, and frank comments! It was a wonderful experience.
