What Our Clients Say About Our Work

Strategy Development and Deployment, Organization Redesign, and Leadership Development:

"Cheryl has been one of a very few trusted consultants we have used in our business over the past several years. Her work for our organization has included; strategic alignment processes, employee/manager coaching models, strategic planning facilitation, and organizational design/development. Each of our managers who have worked with Cheryl have had nothing but the most positive feedback on her content, style, and outcomes. She has consistently provided the results we were pursuing while leaving the participants with tools for proceeding after the engagement. It is our hope that Cheryl will continue as one of our prime outside resources for the foreseeable future. "

Dan, HR Director Avago Technologies

"Cheryl and associates assisted our large nonprofit organization in developing processes that integrally involved both internal and external stakeholders to renew the organization and chart a course for a major extension of our membership. Cheryl was an invaluable partner in developing a shared vision and strategies to launch the organization into the next millennium and define new ways of doing business that harnessed the power and talent resident in the organization. Adapting the culture was the over-arching goal that we achieved. Cheryl helped the nine top managers coalesce into a true team providing strategic leadership. "

Marty, Chief Executive Officer for a National Non-Profit Organization


Strategy Development and Deployment:

"Cheryl has done a wonderful job facilitating the strategic planning for our school. She has impressed many. There have been many attempts at doing long term planning but with very limited results. This process has gone farther at planning our future than any other."

Mike, COO Littleton Adventist Hospital

"Cheryl has been instrumental in helping our executive teams focus and plan our three year strategy. Her process and talent yields not theory but effective vision and mission statements, strategies and tactical goals for our teams that achieve exceptional results."

Anthony, Director, Major Software Development Company

"While the new managers were great with day-to-day operations, they were not aligned around a shared strategy or purpose and were unclear about how to expand their influence within the organization. Cheryl guided the group to develop a comprehensive strategy including a vision, value proposition, objectives and goals. As a result, the team is energized and sees their role with greater clarity. It has also resulted in increased alignment with key internal and external stakeholders and increased influence within the greater organization."

Kim, Vice President of Operations, Large Insurance Company


Leadership and Organization Alignment:

"As an internal OD consultant, my experiences working with Kathy and Cheryl guarantee three things - a successful result, new learning and a good time. Their ability to partner with me to take a leader's strategic intentions and turn them into sustainable change is exceptional."

Barbara Beizer, OE Internal Consultant, Freddie Mac


Strategy Development and Process Design:

"Working with Kathy and Cheryl in designing and co-facilitating our Global Marketing Communications organization's inaugural meeting was extremely valuable and rewarding. Our three day event brought over 120 people from around the world together to develop our mission, vision, and common business processes through extremely participative and engaging sessions. Most importantly, the appreciation of diversity and resulting teamwork that was achieved was a key foundation for our ongoing business success. Kathy and Cheryl were key contributors throughout this extremely motivating and enriching experience shared by all our community members."

John, Human Resources Director, Acterna


Process Design:

"We had never had anything formal in place for process design. With a reorganization and move to a new corporate facility, we recognized the need to look at how we could do things more efficiently. After considering a number of training/consulting organizations we decided to use Cheryl Foss to introduce the concept to our staff. She impressed our committee with her expertise in consulting and was able to customize a program for our needs. Cheryl was a pleasure to work with. She obviously knows her stuff and her style made it easy for our people to relate to. We are now using this to assess all our major processes in the credit union and have it as a measure in our Balanced Scorecard. It's been a great tool to really make sure we are doing things right!"

Doug, CAO, Federal Credit Union


Coaching:

"Cheryl builds relationships with her clients that make it easy for her, as a good coach, to check in, follow up, and make sure the changes put in place are working and producing the desired results. In addition, during a session when we asked Cheryl to help our organization transition from people managers to performance coaches, she taught us what good coaches do, but more importantly, she demonstrated with us how good coaches are. "

Gordon, R&D Director, Avago Technologies
