“Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with numerous consultants, most of them have been very helpful. However, Dr. Tom Walsh of Grenell Consulting Group has brought a depth and breadth of perspective to our firm that we have not encountered elsewhere. To date, the Leadership Development Program of Grenell Consulting Group has had a profound effect on the partners involved and on the utilization of those partners’ talents by the firm. Additionally, Dr. Walsh has made significant contributions to our overall understanding of the need to create a high performance culture where the talents and interests of each key member are understood, focused and developed. I am very excited about the future of our relationship with Grenell Consulting Group and would recommend their services to any business wishing to fully capitalize on their human resources.”

“We initially hired Grenell Consulting Group to evaluate two key people for promotion into leadership positions. As is usually the case, I had very high expectations of the process. Those expectations were exceeded by the work Steve Davis did with these two individuals. Shortly after his first meeting with them, myself and others noticed significant positive changes. Both of them became much more proactive as leaders and demonstrated talent and ability that had not been seen before. By the time the process was complete, I had a clear sense of their strengths as leaders and they had a clear plan for how to improve their contribution to the agency. I promoted both of them and was so impressed that I decided to have our entire leadership team complete this same process.”

“Grenell Consulting Group has been involved with our company for the past year. During that time we have completed an extensive organizational audit to increase our employee satisfaction and retention. We have also begun a yearlong leadership development program for our executive leadership team. The changes to date are quite dramatic. Communication is more open and honest, we are clearer as individuals and as a team about our strengths and weakness and are excited about continuing to leverage our strengths. We continue to be impressed with the strategic thinking and human resource capabilities of Grenell Consulting Group.”

John Mitchell
President, IL Richer

“Grenell Consulting group played a significant role in helping us with a critical management issue. After a two hour discussion with each of the key players, and information obtained from administering a personality profile, Dr. Walsh was able to provide key strengths and weaknesses of all the key players and effectively summarize our situation and provide solid recommendations to our President.”

“Schneider Packaging has had the pleasure of working with Tom Walsh on a number of occasions to provide us with his professional knowledge in many areas. We have used his understanding of people to perform assessments of our management staff, which included me, to help us understand ourselves and how best to work together which resulted in a better performing team. I had Tom perform a more in-depth review of me through a 360-degree study. My purpose was to help me identify areas I needed to concentrate on for improvement. This review was a tremendous help and has allowed me to better perform for my people. We use Tom’s services to evaluate potential candidates for certain positions for employment opportunities at Schneider Packaging. Eight months ago we were in need of hiring a replacement for a Director of Marketing and Sales. We used Tom in the interviewing process. This is a very important position and with Tom’s help we were able to make a confident decision. The decision resulted in hiring a very competent individual with the traits, experience and values that fit with exactly what we hoped for. In summary we feel Tom is a valued addition to our company and is a resource that can be depended on. He is not only a business associate but would also add a friend.”

They have increased the performance of our organization through three key projects; an organizational performance audit, a strategic planning process, and assistance with hiring talented, focused people. In addition, they have served numerous client companies. They are professional, capable, trustworthy and very much to the point. I highly recommend them to any company wishing to increase productivity and profitability.”

Robert J. Banuski

“Our architectural firm has been working with Grenell Consulting Group for well over a year now. We have completed an organizational audit, a customer audit, and an extensive strategic planning process. With Grenell Consulting Group playing a key role, we are now engaging in ongoing strategy execution and the development of our leadership team. The principals of Grenell Consulting Group have done an exemplary job with us (no simple task given the skepticism of architects). They have been extremely valuable partners in our evolution and will continue to be a part of our “team” going forward. I unequivocally recommend Grenell Consulting Group to any organization wishing to increase their strategic planning, performance and staff morale.”

“Steve Davis, of Grenell Consulting Group, originally joined us by facilitating a two-day retreat for our Administrative Team. Steve was able to quickly understand the areas of concern and suggest solutions that we have been using very successfully. He has since been providing individual and group coaching of our entire management team. Steve’s insight into each of us as individuals, and as a team, coupled with the Grenell Consulting methodology, has been extremely impactful to our organization. We are much clearer in our focus, our communications and our direction as a result of Steve’s involvement.”
