Strategy and Execution
We
engaged Ron Person to assist us with our Balanced Score Card
project and in this regard, Ron assisted us remotely to get the
project launched, then he visited us in Perth for a period of 6
weeks where he facilitated intensive workshops.
His facilitation was superb and
we achieved in that 6 weeks what would have normally taken many
months. His style was comfortable and
engaging yet he drove the agendas to achieve the desired
outcomes.
Suffice it
to say, his contribution to our Balanced Score Card project has
been significant and he was well regarded by all those attending
the sessions. Ron remains engaged
with us, now remotely to facilitate and assist us concluding the
project and in the development of the dashboard
reporting system.

I’ve had the opportunity
to work with many consultants and facilitators in my career, and
Ron Person goes right to the top of my list of the most
effective. In fact, it’s not fair to Ron to refer to him as
a facilitator, as he’s really more of a learned guide, humble
educator, process cop and teammate. Most importantly, he
added true value to our project. It’s an understatement
to say that we never would have attained the results we did had
it not been for Ron. I’ve referred him to colleagues at
other companies and look forward to working with him again.

Your guidance helped us
through the sometimes difficult process of developing a
strategic plan. Not only did we capture the widely diverse
needs of our stakeholders, but we produced an executable plan in
record time. We have a clear vision of what we will
become and we know exactly what we must do to get there.
The ways in which you involved
everyone, from citizen advocates to executives and then captured
their inputs were excellent. Your process distilled a wide range
of ideas into the precise strategic directions we need.
Some strategic planning processes
are little more than pointless exercises that end up on a shelf.
This plan is one we know how to execute.

Ron
Person’s workshop on executing strategy and accelerating
operational performance, effectively met their needs and the
course objectives. We were all impressed by his mastery of
the subject and his excellent presentation/teaching skills.
He combined deep and broad knowledge of the subject and real
world executive experience exemplifying what we most value in
our EMBA program. We want to thank Ron for his presentation and
the time he spent with us exploring the many real world
applications of concepts that were presented. His innovative
style was an added dimension which made the experience even more
appealing and valuable. Ron’s work with us was rated as
excellent. He has been given an open invitation to join us in
our future classes and programs.

Online Presentation
Ron Person delivered an excellent presentation to a virtual
audience of project managers in a variety of industries. He
presented a compelling case for the value of measuring sets of
key performance indicators and presenting the data in easily
understood dashboards. His presentation was well received,
and in our brief poll with over a 30% response rate, 96% of the
respondents said the topic was relevant to their work.

Your presentation was valuable. The
methods you showed us could easily increase supply chain and
operations performance. Your use of the giant "sticky wall" and
the interactive exercises was very refreshing. Everyone had to
pay attention. They were all involved!
