“Barry MacKechnie's Strategic Alignment process has been transformative to our business and the impact to me as the CEO has been astounding. By the end of the three-day strategic off-site meeting we had a clear and detailed plan of how to achieve our financial objectives and each and every leader understood the role they play. Now that each employee is working on 2-3 initiatives the entire company is working in unison and it's freed me up to focus three to five years out and less on day-to-day issues. I now have every confidence that we can achieve our very aggressive growth plans.”
“The facilitation of the planning session was masterful. We were constantly reminded of our goals for the retreat and kept on track with attaining those goals. Barry's leadership during the retreat was unobtrusive but constantly persistent in providing us direction during our discussions.”
“Barry provided us with the space to discuss and plot our strategy without intruding but was always in control of that space to make sure we achieved the goals of our strategic planning session.”
“It was the first time that I truly understood the need and outcome of a strategic planning session. It produced actionable items and mutual commitment.”
“Barry's systematic approach to developing and implementing a strategic plan throughout the company made the process easy to understand and easy communicate to my executive team and new CEO.”
“Barry's approach of working with my executive team as a group and then working with each member individually resulted in a comprehensive plan that was quickly adopted.”
“I have worked with a lot of consultants over the past 20 years, and MacKechnie stands out due to his professionalism, his diligence and his ability to accomplish a lot in a short time without getting in the way of the company's day-to-day efforts.”
