Testimonials
 Linda,
You always ask questions that make me open my brain in areas I never
before considered, and contemplate angles of decisions I would not
necessarily have thought of. In all of our work together, you capture
an entire situation from multiple angles very quickly and can peruse
multiple different threads of those angles easily and delve into
them with further questions while still keeping the whole picture
in mind. This has helped me put together business strategies and
plans which capture investor interest, identify business partnerships
that I may not have otherwise contemplated, and feel confident when
entering any business to business transaction, that I am prepared
to achieve my negotiation goals for that meeting.

 After working with Linda at Walt Disney Imagineering, I knew Linda was the answer when my department was challenged to lead a major cost reduction initiative. The Los Angeles MTA needed skilled facilitators to guide cross-organization SWOT teams to identify immediate opportunities for cost savings and even better - cost saving operating improvements! Linda led three teams for 6 weeks, taught them how to deconstruct a company's processes, worked with experts to incorporate best practices, stimulated change readiness and refined recommendations so they were achievable. The result? The cross-functional teams identified $4,000,000 of potential savings, surpassing their target goal. Wow!

 In anticipation of 50% growth over the next 5 years, there were concerns about staff capacity and incremental labor costs relative to income. Linda's leadership and management consulting was singularly the most important factor contributing to the success of the project. Outcomes in 18-months increased production capacity 35%; cycle time 40%; order fulfillment 30%; while reducing department headcount 25% and realizing $500k in annual savings from operations.
Steve Yust, WorldVision |
We asked you to help us find $1M in savings in each of the next three years. The process you taught us found us opportunities to save $4M in the coming year alone. "Thanks!" can't say enough.

 Linda's work with my team guided
them to develop recommendations for improved efficiency. Their biggest
job is getting me to focus and keeping me on track so that they
can continue to do the great job they do. It was clear they gave
it a lot of thought. Linda's focus on making Berbay the best it
can be really touched and impressed me.
