What Others Have To Say

"Kevin was chosen in 2021 as the consultant responsible for crafting our 3-year strategic plan for the time period of 2022-2024. Kevin was organized in his approach and excellent in gathering feedback. This was done in a manner that is different than we have had in the past by using a “bottom-up” approach. This included gathering feedback and concerns through focus groups of employees from all levels of the organization. Other areas of strength that Kevin brought to the process was his follow up after feedback was received and facilitating effective conversations with the strategic planning team as we developed our plan."

They guided us through a very complex set of circumstances, including a board with divided opinions and frustrated external constituent groups, to a solution that that was ultimately unanimously approved by the board.
Trust, flexibility, and competence are the three traits that best describe what we were provided. I grew to fully trust that ITCB would always follow through in a timely manner with what was promised, and that Kevin would give me updates and sometimes hard truths allowing me to provide input and for us to pivot when needed. These pivots required their flexibility as the scope of work changed requiring ITCB to take on assignments they had not originally intended. They personified servant leaders in this context and always were willing to do what we deemed best for our organization.

"Kevin quickly honed in on the key challenges we face. ...
Most valuable to us, in my estimation, was having someone completely separate from our own industry look at both what newspapers are doing and what our association is doing to support them, pointing out areas that are huge resource commitments for low return. As well, having an outside expert show the board longterm trends in a visual way, rather than just a bunch of numbers, drove home the need for change."

He is a wonderful problem solver!"

"The framework (Five Star Leader) proved to be a useful tool for objectively assessing the WICHE president’s performance. Ultimately, the 360 evaluation helped inform process of WICHE executive committee’s assessment of its president’s performance.

"Through his service Kevin has helped to design a system that our team utilizes when determining eligibility and viability of an Entrepreneur's idea. As a result the Center's resources are more responsibly allocated and there are definite points that an un-qualifying Entrepreneur can work to improve.

"Together we worked to identify items contributing to a very disparate repair business model. Together we were able to focus inventory investment on critical items that were limiting sales growth. During this time we were able to increase sales by 40% with a 9% increase in inventory $. This could not have happened without Kevin’s perspective and ability to work cross functionally to achieve mutual results."
