“…Jay effectively supported a very large implementation of our Strategy Management System, which impacted over 20 business areas, and was instrumental in guiding us to a successful implementation. They were effective at helping our senior leaders articulate the business strategy, determine the best measures and help them to use the Balanced Scorecard to better manage the strategy.”
“…I found Jay exceptional to work with. He was strategic in his thinking but practical and pragmatic in the implementation of the plan. He was able to work across all levels of the organization and was able to motivate people to action… His relationship with us was a partnership rather than as a supplier of service…”
“Jay was instrumental in implementing a new strategic planning framework at … by modifying the Kaplan-Norton planning model to fit the needs of a fast-growing Internet company. I particularly appreciated his constant awareness of the need to link Strategy to operating priorities and his skill at facilitating executive and director meetings in a way that developed a shared understanding of the strategy. I would highly recommend him for work with any CEO who has – or wants to have – a long-term vision for the company but needs an effective framework to keep the company focused on strategic goals and not just short-term opportunities.”
“…More than anything what impressed me the most is Jay’s ability to take a complicated set of data and make a clear and concise path that any team member can understand from entry level to executive… His talent not only lies in strategy, but in making everyone comfortable in the planning process. He does a great job breaking down the walls that often derail any planning and strategy process and his efforts lead to execution.”
“…I love Jay’s strategic yet pragmatic, actionable approach and would recommend him to executives who are looking for guidance on setting and more importantly executing their strategy.”
“…What separates Jay from the crowd is his ability to perfectly blend “big picture” strategy efforts with very real and effective execution methodologies. Jay is a teacher at heart, making sure he shepherds his clients along the path as opposed to just give them an answer…”
