  We were given the resources, knowledge, and assistance we needed by Appleton Greene's Innovation Ecosystem program to integrate innovation into our company culture. A complex network of interconnected relationships between the resources in the market, similar to a biological one, creates a live, breathing ecosystem in which one aspires to develop. This ecosystem comprises customers, employees, business practices, and strategies. To successfully implement an innovation strategy, product executives must have a solid understanding of the variety of goods a company offers and its ecosystems. I loved that the program was inspiring, motivational, and educational, but I was impressed the program was used to facilitate implementation. This is the fundamental value proposition.

  We were able to have a good impact on our sustainable processes because of Appleton Greene's program on sustainable business strategy, which also helped us confront some of the most urgent issues facing the world and how they might affect us. The program assisted us in addressing several global concerns, including: Changing weather income disparity Natural resource depletion Human rights concerns decent working circumstances Pollution Race-based injustice gender disparity Appleton Greene's sustainable business strategy program aided our company's total success, which also promoted social and environmental advancement. Although it may seem counterintuitive, studies show that the most sustainable firms are also the most profitable. Our company's profitability rose due to investing more money in sustainable business practices. That's exactly how things worked out for us.

  We can take data from multiple business units in TM1, create a workflow process around it, and then feed it to CDM using Appleton Greene's Data Analytics program. As a result, the accountants are free to concentrate on the auditing rather than the infrastructure that supports it.

  We have implemented Appleton Greene's Organizational Change, Mergers & Acquisitions and Social Responsibility programs. While the reasons for purchasing these programs and the program objectives, were, in all cases, entirely different, the structure, facilitation, support and benefits were all the same. In each case what our organization learned from the experience, what we were able to implement as a result and the significant benefits and ROI that we received, were all very easy to measure. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Appleton Greene programs.

  Appleton Greene implemented a well-executed training program delivered by subject matter experts that accelerated learning speed and improved learner engagement. To achieve this outcome, Appleton Greene had Learning Providers who were intuitive and creative, Professional Research Editors who were highly skilled in content development, Consultants who proved to be compelling communicators. They all adapted quickly to diverse conditions. Training is only as practical as the corporate training company providing it. Appleton Greene is very effective.

  Appleton Greene Learning Providers can be flexible and think creatively. Training plans may work perfectly for one industry sector, but they may be ineffective or disengaging for another industry.

  Deutsche Bank - Dr. Valchev has an excellent understanding and expertise of financial simulation and valuation models along with a thorough mathematical and analytical foundation. He is also very good in working across teams. When it comes to building risk models, he has clearly designed cutting edge models to compute exposures of path dependent trades across all asset classes. Dr. Valchev has distinguishing ability to design models and methodologies in credit risk space. I had the pleasure to work with him as part of the Credit Risk Methodology Group at Deutsche Bank in 2006/2007. He is a very dedicated professional with a strong theoretical and practical background in Risk Management. These skills, coupled with his strong sense of ethics and professional conduct, make him a very strong candidate and I highly recommend him. Dr. Valchev is a strong risk management professional with deep knowledge of counterparty credit risk specifics and derivatives modelling. He is always looking to the solution without losing the big picture of his sight. https://www.appletongreene.com/acs-investment-consulting

  Mr. Robinson supported the Atlas Mine Site Committee with design services at the Atlas Mine Area Superfund Site near Coalinga, California, on land owned by the U.S. government and private parties. The site consists of three open pit asbestos mine surfaces, stockpiles of asbestos waste material, an abandoned mill building, and surface debris. The consent decree entered into by the U.S. EPA and the Atlas Mine Site Committee members required the grading of asbestos, demolishing and disposing of the mill, constructing drainage control structures, conducting a re-vegetation pilot project, and implementing an operation and maintenance (Q&M) program. He reviewed the existing site database and the proposed conceptual remediation plan. then conducted a geotechnical field investigation of the site to generate information necessary for design of the remediation structures. Based on the investigation, recommended several changes to the conceptual and drainage plan that resulted in a more efficient and cost-effective remedial design. prepared the final remedial design documents that formed the basis of the construction bid package. In addition to the design specifications, prepared the Operation and Maintenance Plan, the Construction Quality Control Plan, the Project Schedule, and the Worker Health and Safety Plan. He also conducted an evaluation of asbestos toxicity, potential exposure pathways, and sensitive population evaluations associated with the mine in California., critically reviewed methodologies used by EPA subcontractors for air modeling, ambient air monitoring, surface-water modeling, and assessment of site-specific exposure to asbestos fibers. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-sales-generation

  Sierracin - This privately owned aerospace firm was established in the 1950’s and sanctioned by the US government as one of a select group of suppliers to the armed forces. The campus included research, process, and production operations, which expanded to a new Special Technology Group in 1990’s. Mr. Patel reported to the President of the Special Technology Group (STG) as the Senior Consultant responsible for supporting the commercial, military, and after-market business cells. His role as the leader of the teams in this group was to integrate all business cells to increase operational efficiencies and enhance our research and development standing within the facility and our clients. The site was re-establishing itself as a premier contractor to the US government and commercial airlines. Our experienced employees had retired and influx of new engineers and technologists that were hired did not possess the prerequisite project management skills to achieve this objective. The President of the STG (direct report to owner of Sierracin) introduced a site goal to improve upon this with project management methodology, site wide lean manufacturing training, green and black belt certification.

  I had the pleasure of participating in two of Dr. Bhalla’s corporate training programs – Value Innovation and Customer Experience. In both programs, he successfully managed to cover a large amount of content in a very short time, especially for the Customer Experience program. His passion in Customer Experience Marketing is evident in the way that he teaches. The sessions are engaging and interactive; there is no passive learning in Dr. Bhalla ‘s programs. He often says that in order to understand the material, it is not enough to simply read it, one must wrestle with it to see the content in new ways and fully understand it. We did this through creative group projects, where he challenged us to apply program concepts to contemporary and relevant scenarios. Purposefully, he encourages each group to develop their own unique customer experience solutions so we can learn from each other. As a result of this action-based learning, I find the course concepts have been ingrained in my mind, and I frequently call upon the critical client-centric tools and frameworks that Dr. Bhalla taught me. https://www.appletongreene.com/acs-customer-experience

  Business transformations are difficult, especially when policies, procedures, processes and culture are well entrenched. Mr. Siano worked with the senior team to develop marketing operations processes, data processes, technology strategy and tactics to transition from product centric to customer centric organization. Additionally he helped us quantify opportunities and put in place procedures for us to continue the work on our own. He provided exceptional leadership, direction and support to the extended teams encouraging collaboration. Mr. Siano excels at helping firms develop the big picture, synthesize it down into a business case and then providing executive leadership to the team to execute the vision. https://www.appletongreene.com/acs-marketing-transformation/

  I was appointed as a Consultant at the US-Spain Chamber of Commerce and my duties were : increase the number of memberships within the Chamber, develop a program to help new coming companies to the US in their establishment and business development in the US, enhance and expand political connections and relationships with main local and foreign official institutions and develop a marketing strategy not only for the Chamber but also for all the members of the Chamber since this is a business network that may create synergies between the Chamber members and local companies as well. Also, other than the institutional duties, my responsibility was as well to restructure the accounting Department and to enhance the financials of the Chamber since it was having losses at the time I took over. The goals achieved were: a 45% increase of memberships not only in numbers but also on the Chamber’s financials since I created four new membership types (Trustee, Corporate and Platinum as well as the Young Entrepreneurs membership) that were a new source of income; the accounting department was restructured and all the accounts were audited and revised to bring accounting up to date with accuracy; I also developed the existing program to help companies to establish in the US and a marketing strategy that would benefit both, the Chamber and its members. https://www.appletongreene.com/acs-business-development

  I have always loved learning, it has always been like a hobby for me. Whoever my employer is I am always the first to take part in any training that is available. You always learn something. For me, training was always a way to absorb new ideas, to think in an innovative way and to gain invaluable knowledge. My first exposure to an Appleton Greene program was with my previous employer. I was taken back by the fact that the program was used as a vehicle to implement a tangible process within the organization. There was only one workshop every month and this enabled me to integrate what we had learned before moving onto our next workshop. This ensured that each part of the process was actually implemented. I was really impressed with this and had not seen anything like it before. My current employer has implemented 2 Appleton Greene programs. They work in moreorless the same way, even though the subject matter is different, which gave me a head start and I was able to absorb and implement far more as a result. Undoubtedly the most productive programs I have been involved in.

  Performance improvement has to be the core objective of any training program. At Appleton Greene, this is achieved by ensuring that each program incorporates the implementation of a tangible business process.

  Federal Aviation Administration - The Leadership Execution program was exactly what we needed to get our global project on target. We were getting things done but weren’t being as effective and efficient as we could have been. To use a racing analogy, you can force the car forward and win the race, but without the lubricant, it’s pretty hard to sustain. We were starting to lose our lustre and were throwing some sand in the gears, mostly due to miscommunication and lack of mutual accountability and trust. A positive and trusting environment was the most pressing and immediate need. We knew how to build systems and be good program managers, but we weren’t really great with the people and the sharing authority parts of this new team. We were doing a lot of the right things to build teamwork: having strategic meetings, monthly conference calls, starting a 360-review process, et cetera, but we didn’t know what we didn’t know. That’s why we brought you and your team in. We needed expertise in the people-side and organizational side of the project. The assessments you introduced were different. Just going through the process and the follow up discussions were teachable moments for me. I walked away from each session having discovered how to apply my talent, skills, passion, knowledge or experience in a different way. I found myself often giving a 5 on the post-session survey question, “On a 1-5 scale with 5 being high, this conversation helped me to think differently. https://www.appletongreene.com/acs-leadership-execution

  Managed outsourcing is the key to successful manufacturing these days. It would appear that the same principle applies to good education. The high points of my MBA and DBA were the opportunities to interact with industry specialists and successful business leaders. Appleton Greene recognizes this and is developing an impressive catalog of tangible programs and encourages learning providers to outsource to specialist consultants and business leaders as much as possible. This helps to bring the programs to life in the real world and engages and challenges employees.

  I particularly like the fact that Appleton Greene programs are all developed and tested within operating companies. This means that the programs are not purely theoretical and they empower people through practical integration. They have been developed, tested and implemented within live organizations and they therefore have a strong and robust value proposition. It makes the programs relevant. You know that regardless of what the program subject matter is, it is still going to be cutting edge.

  Like most major corporations, we have employed the services of many consultants and learning providers, but with professional services it is not always clear what you will be getting for your money or how to measure performance. This is what I like with Appleton Greene. You can see precisely what you are being asked to buy, before you buy it. The program and service information guides are very detailed, specific and logical. If you are purchasing a corporate training program, you can see all of the monthly workshops that will be implemented. This takes the mystery out of what you are being asked to buy. You can see precisely what you are buying, what the benefit will be and how you measure the return on your investment. The easier you make the decision, the more business you do.

  Tramite, Inc - The benefits of having a trainer and coach like Mr. Meuchel is not to solve all your problems or to assure that you always win “the game”. The true benefit is that it keeps you focused on the goal(s) that you as an entrepreneur have made. Coaching makes you accountable and gives you a different perspective. The support of the coach comes with giving guidance on how the same activity can be done more efficiently. They help to foster new ideas and re-evaluate if the actions you are currently engaged in are necessary and productive. In essence, he helps you skin the cat in a different way. The true transformative entrepreneur understands that they do not know it all.

  Harvard Business School - Mr. Lynch’s “Architecture of Collaborative Excellence” is unexcelled in its thoroughness, depth of understanding, scientific structure, and strategic value. He exemplifies an enlightened realist whose insights have enormous potential not only to empower leaders to bring forth the very best in others, but also to serve as a foundation for renewing our belief in business itself. The most compelling and insightful framework about trust yet. This work transcends the superficial treatment we’ve given the subject of trust for too many years. With the globalization of business, we need new management systems to adapt to the complexities of networks of enterprises. I can only speculate how many companies and alliances would have been saved from financial hardship, frustration, and even failure had their leaders had access to this collaborative excellence program. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-collaborative-excellence

  Charter Communications - With supply chain operations spanning across the country after a mega merger, the Supply Chain Planning and Analytics Team was having issues in forecasting, reporting, and analyzing Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) to maintain healthy inventory levels. Part of the root cause stemmed from the lack of data uniformity and the absence of standardized processes to drive the effective use of CPE. As a leader of the organization, my primary goal was to have the right people, doing the right things to create the right environment. We engaged Ms. White to help us solve challenging and interesting business problems through rigorous data analysis and predictive modeling. This included working with complex databases, conducting research to identify data issues, and proposing solutions to improve data integrity. We achieved the desired bottom line results in less than a year. Ms. White is a highly experienced supply chain professional with a deep understanding of operations who has demonstrated her ability to maintain focus and deliver sustainable results.

  Lockheed Martin - During my 4-year span working with Dr. Phillips, we employed his CX engineering frameworks, concepts and methodologies to great competitive advantage. During that period, He acted tirelessly to provide training, coaching and consulting to the many people involved in the new business capture process. The customer value propositions he created using his novel process of ‘becoming the customer’ were a significant factor in our capture teams’ winning about 85 of every 100 dollars that we bid on, and in some years achieving even higher numbers. This performance was substantially higher than my business had previously achieved. I attribute this directly to Dr. Phillips’ efforts which showed us new ways of thinking and interfacing with our customers. He supported complex new business capture teams composed of people with very diverse backgrounds both technically and experientially, never missing a beat in engaging them all, teaching them and ultimately resulting in their fully embracing his techniques. This had significant long-lasting benefits for the organization. He worked with us on some of our largest and most significant programs, resulting in several huge wins for us.

  Mr. Thomson assisted Helena Laboratories in introducing a diagnostic protein separation system to the hospital clinical laboratory that significantly changed a time consuming and long-standing labor-intensive process. Through complete automation, patient samples were prepared and separated in much less than time than traditional process and the lab technologist was free to undertake other tasks while the process ran. Not only was overall process time reduced, but the quality of the finished product was far superior to competitive, traditional methods and most importantly, the repeat rate was reduced to less than 1%, based on review by the clinical chemist and pathologist. Although the cost per test was higher, given capital purchase of the hardware and software to run the system, the payback period for a traditional laboratory was between 6 to 12 months, based on sample volume. The system was so successful, it was adopted by large private clinical laboratories where sample processing was in the 10,000’s per month. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-corporate-positioning

  Ambit Energy - The organization was the forefront on energy savings for struggling consumers paying for utilities. This business was a favorite provider for people that believed in what it offered. Obviously, many people were later drawn by its mission for helping customers save on gas and electricity: whereas developing customers. As an independent consultant, Mr. Belmont embodied the practice of informing consumers on how to save on a good utility plan: using preferable rates given by the company (for certain locations). Rates were compared to what the consumer was currently paying. It was a historic moment when gas and utility giants became deregulated: allowing small companies to become secondary providers. Customers had benefited from its services and a friend. Fortunately, this became an example of what customers favored: knowing that someone benefited from the plan as well. The application was practical. Teaching clients about the plan became easier: which indirectly increased the organizations client base. We saw savings after the first payment.

  Risk Management is at the core of every venture capital investment and we are always looking for new and innovative ways to measure risk. However, the AGC Risk Management program enabled us to manage risk better, which is every bit as important and actually helps to improve the success of our operational portfolios. It is also an evolving process which facilitates what we do and that means that we can all improve as we go along. It takes a long time to decide what to invest in and when and once we have done so, we want to give our portfolio of clients every opportunity to succeed.

  Operational audits are audits that focus on the effectiveness, productivity, and cost efficiency of the operations of the business. With supermarkets and hypermarkets, where profit margins are so small and health and safety requirements so extensive, these audits become a crucial part of remaining competitive. Appleton Greene's Operational Audit program provides us with an edge in a fiercely competitive market, because it is a process for continuous improvement and it has become a core part of our strategy and culture here.

  Filmtec Corporation - We brought Mr. Erickson in as a consultant to help us improve our operations during the early transition right after The Dow Chemical Company bought us. He quickly showed us his capabilities as he worked across multi-functional departments. He brought cohesiveness and a level of knowledge and expertise that were missing in the organization. He was an active part of the business management team which consisted of sales, marketing, and finance managers of Dow. This team was responsible for running and growing the business. He assimilated well into the team. He was an instrumental part of the team in improving our business capacity that helped the company grow by over 300% in less than five years. He interacted well with all levels of personnel, from Dow executives to the people on the floor. We appreciate all he did to help us make the purchase of FilmTec the success it was. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-business-optimization

  Appleton Greene's Manufacturing Production program has enabled us to integrate two critical processes seamlessly to great effect. Manufacturing is the process where machines produce goods from raw materials. Production is the process of converting resources into finished products. Manufacturing includes the production of goods which can be immediately sold off and are suitable for use. Production essentially means the creation of utility. By integrating the two processes into one by using a stakeholder advocate approach, the program shaves dollars off the cost of every product unit. It just goes to show what can be achieved through process integration.

  Appleton Greene's Global Localization or "Glocalization" program helps with products or services that are developed and distributed globally but are also adjusted to accommodate the user or consumer in a local market. The process makes it easier for us to understand and service local markets in many ways as a local supplier would and this helps with perception and local branding. It also provides for a more personal service where required. Appleton Greene itself is the empitome of Glocalization in the way that it operates and implements its corporate training programs, locally on the client's premises if required, so they are well placed to recognize the importance of localization.

  As a Logistics company, the Sustainable Growth program from Appleton Greene has provided us with a template or process that ensures that all of our costs remain variable. This is achieved by breaking down business functions into cost centers and ensuring that all associated costs are outsourced. This enables us to be lean and keeps any fixed costs to a minimum. We are then perfectly positioned to respond to market demand in every capacity, no matter what route it takes.

  Most businesses become complicated over time, particularly if they are successful. I have owned 7 companies during my career and can assure you that succession planning is not something that you should just consider when you are planning retirement. It enables you to transition from one company to another and is a part of being an entrepreneur. The Appleton Greene Succession Planning program works because it simplifies all of those complications and puts things in place to facilitate a seamless transition. It is now being implemented with all of my companies simultaneously. I always like to know what my exit strategy is.

  Healthcare - Many clinical studies are started and conducted by pharmaceutical companies or companies in Europe that develop medical devices. However, the studies are always conducted in collaboration with doctors and other healthcare personnel. Doctors can also initiate and conduct studies, for example in order to investigate whether a medicine that is already approved may also be effective as therapy in other diseases. Studies are always heavily regulated and Appleton Greene's Data Analysis program has provided us with a tried and tested process for collating data.

  The world has become a much smaller place. It is much easier for many people to travel and they do so for business and pleasure with increasing regularity. This has resulted in more international and less provincial thinking and corporate training within our organization needs to reflect this. It is no surprise that many traditional educational programs such as MBAs have become more international and enable students to study in two or three different international locations during their study terms. Online training has also encouraged international collaboration. However, at Appleton Greene, they have truly embraced this philosophy through it’s business partnering with hundreds of learning providers and consultants who all work remotely from a variety of different international locations and this has proven to be a masterstroke and consolidates their unique global positioning.

  Relationship management is a critical success factor for any b2b service company and the Appleton Greene Relationship Management program improved our processes beyond recognition. We have always prided ourselves on being good at managing client relationships, but you can always improve, always. The cost of not improving is enormous and RM was a real game changer for us. We became more objective, more client-led and more able to satisfy our client needs by constantly improving the resources available to us. We have changed from being a very good band into an orchestra.

  Infosys - While at Infosys there were 2 major initiatives that I championed that would be of great benefit to other clients. One was implementing a system that would help reduce our DSO (Days of Sales Outstanding). A key factor in this was change management which was to remodel our internal system and team structure while also working with the client and advising them on how to help us to become jointly aligned. Due to this, I was able to reduce our DSO which ranged from 65-120 days on a quarterly basis to approximately 45 days. This of course greatly improved our cash flow for a $100M+ Book of Business in our practice. I then was tasked with evangelizing this to our other practices to help with their DSO Improvements as well. The second Initiative was to help with our practice’s overall Account Management and Operations structure. This involved improving sales forecasting (Went from a 15% delta in pre-quarter forecast vs end of quarter booked business to less than 5%), Also due to improved Account Planning, was able to help grow a key account from $0 to $25M per year over a 2-year period and won an Account Management Award for this in 2013-2014 (Awarded to the top 5 out of 8,000 sales professionals company-wide). Was also able to improve our hiring practice which improved our net revenue loss of $5M per quarter due to not being able to staff client engagements to less than $1M per quarter. This was a 80% improvement that resulted in a net gain of $16M per year to our top line. https://www.appletongreene.com/acs-business-operations

  Being a participant in Appleton Greene's Social Responsibility program in South Africa encouraged me to become a Learning Provider myself. I loved the way the program brought everyone together and helped companies to integrate more with the local communities they served.

  The Agriculture industry is usually consumed with time management. Everything has a predetermined shelf life. Interestingly enough however, Appleton Greene achieves time sensitive performance by slowing things down. It allows companies to implement and benefit from each part of the service process while working through the programs, instead of having to wait until they are completed. The result is that you do not necessarily care too much about how long the programs take to implement, because the benefits are being realized all of the way through.

  This program bring a lens to your business that will help you focus on the things that matter and the essentials that will move you and your organization forward. The instructors provide excellent counsel and creative business solutions to complex issues. They will quickly identify your issue through insightful questions and provide the support to develop the capabilities, processes and technology required for success in the future. I am always amazed at the way the team can take a situation that I am wrestling with, and like solving a Rubik’s cube, untangle the problem in a simple straight forward way that makes the resolution obvious.

  Any product or service is only as good as the support process which accompanies it. The Appleton Greene programs are well structured and well delivered, but it is the quality and availability of continuous support which makes the programs durable. Appleton Greene is excellent at developing and implementing time management procedures for program support. We appreciate that the time of qualified learning providers and accredited consultants is valuable and the strict guidelines within which support is provided enables us to obtain support whenever we need it, but it is structured in such a way as to ensure that it is always productive.

  We implemented the Business Expansion program through Appleton Greene across all departments several years ago. We realized that we had the market interest to achieve significant growth over a short period of time and we wanted to ensure that we were well prepared. The program provided us with a clearly defined process which could be implemented within all departments simultaneously and this really helped us to achieve buy-in and commitment from key stakeholders throughout the organization at the same time, which was invaluable. We still use the same multi-departmental process today.

  In an unpredictable world, the Corporate Sustainability program by Appleton Greene helps us to steer from the helm. It helps us to weather any storm that comes our way and to negotiate the challenges that we face on a daily basis. It also helps us to be more at one with the environment and to plan for alternative resources. The program provides useful processes that analyse and challenge the status quo and enable us to source alternative ways of doing things. This is a crucial responsibility for any manufacturing business today and the CS program keeps us on point.

  Boeing - I am honored to clearly and emphatically state my absolute confidence in Ms. Whitbeck. She has earned my sincere respect and admiration. She is the epitome of exceptional personal and professional ethics, inspiring complete trust and confidence. In a single word, “insightful” is often and easily applied to Ms. Whitbeck as a consultant and trainer. She gathers facts and data, while rejecting complacency to reveal blinders that were holding our team back. She understands the human element in the equation which facilitates a transparent and empowered working relationship. She has a comprehensive knowledge of sales strategy, techniques, and psychology. She helped us map and then build an effective streamlined methodology and process. She challenged every team member in the best way to grow and reconnect with their passion to be of service. Ms. Whitbeck easily works across multi-functional departments within organizations, bringing us together to define realistic strategies for achieving our goals for growth in sales and profits.

  Tremendous Sales Outsourcing program. Would recommend this to anyone with a sales department. There are so many good sales generation, lead generation, telemarketing and after sales organizations now, that it just does not make any sense any more to do things in house. It is far easier to scale up or down whenever you need to, your costs are variable instead of fixed, so less risk and the AGC-SO program helps us to manage it all effectively.

  There is no doubt that we are becoming more structured in everything that we do since we started implementing Appleton Greene's processes. We started off with a program in our customer service department, but we have now implemented a variety of different programs within 5 departments. The programs are incredibly reasonble given what you are able to achieve with them. The consultants and learning providers that we have worked with are very professional, well trained and very personable. Good experience all round and easy to measure ROI.

  The Business Modeling program ensures that our business models are constantly reviewed and updated. It is just about the most important function of every business. As a Venture Capital company we were used to implementing the program with new investments. It never occured to us to continue implementing it within our successful client portfolio, but once we started doing so, our success rate and ROI increased substantially, because less was being left to chance. I would recommend this program to any business, particularly well established ones.

  As a Material Consultant, he was responsible for creating and updating supplier releases, ensuring on time delivery of production material, and supplier performance. In his role as a SAP Consultant, he played an instrumental role in transitioning legacy processes and procedures to the SAP environment and developing the SAP cycle process for the plant. Additionally, he effectively scheduled and managed the daily cycle count process, coordinating the activities of 4 cycle checkers across a 24×7 operation.

  The Market Intelligence program opened up new markets for us that we never thought we would ever service. From our base in Miami we are able to service a large part of South America now, including Argentina, Chile, Mexico and mainly Brasil. We have also established a new distribution center in Sao Paulo. The MI program helped us to understand the different nuances of each market and the supply chain process that needed to be put in place. Companies spend and waste a lot of money when trying to enter new markets and when you consider the cost of the MI program, we saved an awful lot of money that would have been spent on clearing the path. The right information is mission critical.

  Sheridan Community Hospital Foundation My work with this community hospital foundation has focused on board development, fundraising campaign support, and communication strategies. I was initially retained to conduct a community assessment regarding the foundation’s communication with their supporters and the community at large. The foundation staff wanted feedback from the community as to perceptions of the foundation’s effectiveness prior to launching a large fundraising campaign for the hospital the foundation supports. Based on feedback from the community assessment, my work continued with the foundation in a training capacity for the foundation board of directors. I worked with them to provide clarity as to their role in fundraising for the organization, as well as giving them tools and training to actively participate in large-scale philanthropy associated with the fundraising campaign.

  Having implemented a number of Appleton Greene programs successfuly during the last 10 years or so, we started implementing their Crisis Management program as soon as the Pandemic hit us. As a supplier in the Aviation industry our business effectively came to a standstill. We started to focus on alternative income sources to keep us going and restructured our core business activities. We felt as if we were doing something constructive and it helped us to feel in control, when everything that was happening around us was out of control and this was very important for our wellbeing. As opportunities started to present themselves, we were ready for them and as things started to get back to normal, we were stronger, leaner and better placed to spring forward when required to do so. As we enter a period of growth we are better placed to cope with it and to take full advantage.

  The Learning & Development program helped us to be more structured about the way that we planned, developed, implemented and managed our own corporate training programs internally. As a service industry, our employees are our biggest asset and we therefore invest heavily in training and continuous improvement. But many of our programs had become stale and outdated and if we tried to outsource training, then the programs did not generally encompass what we wanted them to. The Appleton Greene L&D program helped us to overhaul all of the programs that we had, introduce some new programs and implement our programs more effectively. We now feel that we have a tried and tested structure in place to ensure that we are much more proactive about the training that we provide internally. The Appleton Greene L&D process is now embedded within our organization and will continue to ensure that everything that we do here is measured regularly and improved.

  Nous avons rencontré Appleton Greene à un moment où nous recherchions un fournisseur. Le fournisseur avait mis en œuvre 3 ou 4 programmes avec Appleton Greene et nous avons reçu de très bonnes critiques avec chacun d'eux. Nous avons pris connaissance d'un programme de transformation d'entreprise spécialisé dans les acquisitions et avons décidé de l'essayer et nous avons été ravis des résultats. Cela nous a fourni une approche structurée de la planification, de la mise en œuvre et de la gestion de l'acquisition, ce qui a été très bénéfique pour les deux sociétés.

  Being a VC in Australia, it can be very difficult doing business beyond Australasia and Asia, because of the difference in time zones and competition beyond the boundaries of our traditional market. Appleton Greene's Globalization Strategy program provided us with the tools and resources to change this. Geographical location should never be a mitigating factor in your success as a business today, given the global reach of the internet. But you still need to understand how to position yourself within the global market and how to use global resources that might be available to you. We need to start seeing ourselves as international companies and this does not just mean where we develop new business. It also includes our suppliers, employees, stakeholders and every aspect of business operations. This has broadened our horizons and financial portfolio considerably.

  Terrific choice of programs and services now, 1,500 of them. All use the same format but every program and sevice focuses upon a different subject. You can review every client service and program in detail before making a commitment and you know that the support will be great. We have been using them for 16 years now. They help us to be better at what we do in every aspect of our business. One recommendation for improvement, more of the programs should be implemented virtually now, particularly after the pandemic.

  We are always looking to improve productivity. This is usually achieved through business process improvement or business process re-engineering. The fact that Appleton Greene’s programs are all drive by processes means that they are a good match for consumer goods manufacturing companies, because the goal of each program is invariably process and productivity improvement. This is the future in a fast moving world because everything that we do needs to have a clear and present purpose.

  Appleton Greene has shrewdly developed each program based upon the unique core skills and experience of the individual learning providers who develop them. This helps to ensure that each program is innovative by design.

  This organizational effectiveness manual has been nothing short of brilliant for our organization. Coming from the manufacturing industry, efficiency in operations is a necessary requirement that we cannot simply live without. This organizational effectiveness manual mentions ways for us to not only prioritize and improve effectiveness in the organization, but to also do so through the use of effective strategies and tools. To begin with, the manual starts from how to perform analysis within the organization and how to take it forward from there. Analysis is a key point of discussion in all organizations today, and it holds just as much value for us. The important point to note here is that the manual takes you through the different steps of analysis for different months of the year. We first start with a thorough understanding of analysis techniques, and then move on to implementation and evaluation of the insights generated in the process. Ours is a manufacturing entity and it has hence suited us well to perform routine analysis based on the insights generated from this course manual. The analysis we perform have helped us unearth a number of minor and major operational flaws in our machinery and have also assisted us in finding the bottleneck – the slowest machine in the operational mechanism that dictates the time taken for a batch or flow. Besides the analysis, we have also found the implementation of ideas extremely useful. Our manufacturing facility is not short of ideas, but we are often found lacking when it comes to implementation of ideas. With these tips for implementation, we rest assured that there is no stone left unturned for proper implementation of ideas related to change in manufacturing processes. Our manufacturing facilities are a lot more efficient having incorporated the changes acquired from this manual.

  Utilizing the program as a tool to develop rising executives, we formed a strategic planning team of a dozen high potential managers. The team met formally monthly and informally to resolve issues. The results of the project were to elucidate the long-term and near-term goals and to expose the various managers to issues that they would not confront in their normal positions. The results were outstanding. The team built a plan to ensure that the company’s goals would be met and that their personal goals would be satisfied. Beyond the stated targets, several high potential managers revealed that they were not capable of operating as owners. However, others not only demonstrated traits of ownership, but also were educated and understood disciplines other than their own. They became the next set of the leadership team and several were promoted and proved to be successful when the plan was delivered. See: https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-strategic-planning

  Batson Cook - Mr. Darnell and his emotional intelligence training has been invaluable to our Company. He has worked with our leadership including several superintendents. One of our superintendents, who was struggling during the first phase of a project, created such changes in his behavior that his status changed from possible termination to managing the second phase. This saved our company tens of thousands of dollars by not having to pay a headhunter to fill that position, not to mention the additional lost revenue from bringing a new employee up to speed on the project. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-emotional-intelligence

  While we have used Appleton Greene bespoke programs on a number of occasions to great effect, it is always preferable to purchase standard (off-the-shelf) programs where at all possible, because they encompass a wider variety of users who have together all contributed towards fine tuning the programs’ efficiency and functionality. The more a program is used, the better it becomes given time. A good Appleton Greene program is like a good wine, tried and tested ingredients and perfected over a sustainable period of many years.

  Flambeau Plastics - Dr. Keysser was instrumental in assisting us to develop a growth strategy for our rapidly expanding plastic case market. We were very successful at the time in other areas of plastics manufacturing, but this was a new venture for us, to reflect a shift in the overall market demand for plastic products. He helped us to identify and analyze an opportunity for a new out-state manufacturing facility to accomplish this growth, including developing a feasibility study and a financial analysis of the potential growth from this opportunity. He helped us to review our existing financial and capital structure, and recommended an approach for raising the needed capital. He then generated the external funding needed, through raising $10M of senior debt, to successfully implement this strategy.

  The Market Validation program is an essential portion of the curriculum for our Venture Acceleration Program at VIATEC. Participants learn about the essential practices involved in validating a market and a business model broken across three separate days. Mr. Christie is our go-to facilitator, having trained well over 150 entrepreneurs over the last 8 years, typically scoring 9 out of 10 or better in all aspects of these workshops. His energy and enthusiasm for the topics covered is instilled in the participants, and his genuine interest in each of the ventures ensures that everyone receives custom attention. We have been extremely happy with Mr. Christie’s program, and we would highly recommend him to others. https://www.appletongreene.com/clp-cih-market-validation-program-mvp/

  Capital One - Dr.Bhalla invests time in open listening and observation, and quickly absorbs critical information and details. Once having formed thoughts and opinions, he is a thoroughly engaging communicator, whether addressing a large group or an individual. He effectively shares his ideas and recommendations with a personalized and customized approach that is always on target, leaving a listener inspired! A few examples follow. By leveraging Dr.Bhalla’s professional expertise at integrating qualitative and quantitative data into insightful findings, I was able to bring added value to my larger team. This greatly benefited my organization from a business perspective, and allowed me to grow personally. He also worked effectively with senior leadership, and staff at all levels, to collaborate and advise on effective solutions to problem issues as an internal advisor. His sought-after counsel was a key input in organizational decisions. https://www.appletongreene.com/acs-soulful-leadership

  No hesitation in recommending Appleton Greene. Their programs are all process driven, in other words their programs are used as vehicles to implement tangible processes. We use at least one process within all departments now. Employees can come and go but the process remains and this provides structure and stability. It is not easy to change or implement a new process but Appleton Greene uses a collaborative approach to make this a smooth transition and the support provided is really excellent.

  It can be difficult sometimes for a company like ours, in a developing country, to think and operate on a global scale. We just do not have the contacts, the experience, the credibility, or the structure. Appleton Greene's Global Strategy program helped us to implement a process that changed our culture, our business model and our expectations. Our confidence grew together with our business. We not only have customers across 3 different continents now, but manufacturers and suppliers as well. It has been a fascinating journey and we now consider ourselves to be truly international. A very big thank you to our Learning Provider and Consultants.

  Service Innovation - There are so many ways to research and develop new and innovative services and Appleton Greene's SI program explores all of them thoroughly. Once we identify something that may be viable for us then the program provides us with the processes to test these new ideas thoroughly. The program therefore represents something that we do over and over again because it facilitates the process for us. What makes these programs so useful is the collaborative support that comes with them. The Learning Providers and Consultants that we have used are so well trained, so eager to help, they are an integral part of the program's success. Any product or service is only as good as the service that comes with it. Appleton Greene's ongoing customer service and quality management is exemplary.

  Ms. Stoll has been my secret weapon! A whip-smart and dedicated consultant, she was responsible for the Customer Pulse Survey and providing a comprehensive analysis of the data collected. This data is used to not only understand the performance of our organization but is leveraged to actively manage the behavior of Strategic Account Managers globally. She is a consummate professional with a keen ability to interpret data and making actionable recommendations that impact the business of Thomson Reuters and improve the client experience. It has been said, “if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” Without the efforts of Ms. Stoll and the vitally important work that she does to measure client data, many within our organization wouldn’t be able to do their jobs. She is well respected and valued for her contributions. She is a leader among her peers and positioned to be a leader in any company lucky enough to have her as a consultant. https://www.appletongreene.com/acs-customer-service-experience

  We were very impressed with Appleton Greene's Continuous Improvement program. We have been so used to consultancy services and corporate training programs that tell us what we are doing wrong and how to improve it and while this can be useful at times, it can rather seem a bit like getting a sermon, where you can feel as if everything you do is wrong. Conversely, Appleton Greene's Continuous Improvement program actually focused upon our strengths and the related opportunities and then provided us with a process that added significant value to what we were doing well already. This was understandably well received by everyone involved within our organization and it has certainly helped us to improve, which was all that we wanted. A very positive experience all round.

  We have implemented Appleton Greene's Organizational Change, Mergers & Acquisitions and Social Responsibility programs. While the reasons for purchasing these programs and the program objectives, were, in all cases, entirely different, the structure, facilitation, support and benefits were all the same. In each case what our organization learned from the experience, what we were able to implement as a result and the significant benefits and ROI that we received, were all very easy to measure. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Appleton Greene programs.

  Appleton Greene's "Customer Retention" corporate training program was of real benefit to us. It takes a lot of effort to win new customers and once we have them, we understandably want to do as much business with them as possible. We always felt that we were on top of things and implemented all kinds of customer loyalty incentives and loyalty discounts, but it all felt rather predictable. Appleton Greene implemented a process that enabled us to provide our customers with more consistent support and assistance. We started being in regular contact with our customers and in the b2b workspace, this is really important. Our customers started to become friends or at least very good acquaintances and then when we did send them information about other services or products, there were understandably far more receptive. Not only has our customer retention improved, our customers spend much more money with us and are very happy to do so. Our business development process has become so much easier as a result. This program taught us a very valuable lesson about our customers too and we understand them much better and this helps to ensure that we develop the products and services they actually need. This program was worth every dollar.

ROI is very easy to measure after each and every monthly workshop. The service and support are excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Not sure if I am allowed to mention individual Learning Providers or Consultants by name on here, but they know who they are. Their interpretation, guidance and one-on-one support has been excellent.

  I had consulting positions in several parts of Energy industry: in oil & gas downstream; in electrical renewable generation; electrical distribution in various entities – industrial, public buildings, city streets, hotels; and maintenance, in regions mainly under European legislation, but also such with US and UK codes, and Russian standards. As a part of the worldwide trend of development of C02 free energy, I managed a project in wind park generation, building energy saving projects, street lighting projects, city traffic control, etc., those changed positively many environments and lives. My experience helps me to recognize the importance of the energy projects to the societies, in countries where the people lack very basic energy resources, and services and how any improvement activity is well accepted.
