Rob Scherini - CEO of Johnson & Johnson Medical
" Neil Jones has been a lead consultant to J&J Medical for over a decade now and we are highly appreciative of and value the significance of his contribution to our business and importantly the relationship we have developed. Neil was initially retained to assist us in developing a new approach to Strategic Planning which ultimately resulted in the creation of a new Vision, Mission and direction for our business. The outcome was extraordinarily successful and we have engaged his services to facilitate similar sessions over recent years. He has also proven to be an excellent facilitator for Team Development initiatives and a sound coach and counsel. Its been a great experience."
David Costello - CEO of ClubsNSW
"We have been working with Neil Jones for three (3) years now on our Board and Executive Management Strategic Planning Forums. Neil has added significantly to the structure, research, preparation and facilitation of our strategic planning process and outcomes".
Michael Harrington - Joint MD of Promotional Sampling
"Like a number of businesses which have expanded quickly over a number of years, our joint managing directors were busy working on successful projects with the business without formally planning & considering long term strategic options. While plans & new strategies were introduced they were ad hoc and were not well communicated to other members of the company.
However, fortunately in 1998 we were introduced to the highly credentialled Neil Jones and we immediately saw improvements across the board in terms of communication & team participation and importantly in the level & success of strategies.
Neil Jones provided us with a valuable resource and encouraged participation by all team members. This has enabled us to initiate strategic reviews & plans as well as ongoing quarterly checks to ensure we are on track.
The discipline & the ability to provide focus to our business has enabled our business to expand over 3 fold over this time and in many respects this has been due to the involvement & expertise of Neil Jones . In 1998 Billings were $3.3m compared to 2006 where billings are estimated to hit $10.0m.
Neil also supports our company by facilitating our annual staff Conference, assessing team members for development and selection purposes, and facilitating yearly Client Forums where clients provide feedback for proposed new & future directions for our company".
Paul Rifkin, Executive Chef, Campbelltown Catholic Club
You know how you tell if a conference is working, one isn't dozing off at 3-4pm, well I wasn't and didn't notice others were either, which probably makes you a very good facilitator. I would like to personally thank you for your grand efforts in achieving the near impossible, even the biggest nay sayers and sceptics came away really invigorated with a newly formed vision and sense of self worth. I might even add that we got to know what we didn't even know we didn't know.............
