The recent evaluation of Andre de Waal of my company’s economic and cultural condition yielded the most comprehensive, dynamic, sensible and uplifting status report that I have ever encountered. As a consultant myself who primarily works with other consultants, and as a former Board member and chapter president of the Institute of Management Consultants, I am quite familiar with many assessment techniques and processes. Yet André’s approach proved unique in very significant ways:
- his background research has been extensive, delving as he has into literally hundreds of research studies from which he has drawn inspiration for his methods;
- he leaves no stone unturned in his quest to fully understand the company under investigation by use of organizational structure analysis, online surveys, in-depth one-on-one interviews with all relevant company personnel and other actions
- upon completion of the research stage, he focuses carefully on what he has found, drawing up insightful, big-picture conclusions for the company under scrutiny, as well as wise recommendations about what the firm might do next and also what it should NOT do next!
Throughout the entire process, Andre carefully listens, absorbs, processes, shares, challenges and even offers suggestions and encouragement. His personal style (which includes friendliness and humor!) expertly enhances the overall result.
Any firm in need of an organizational re-examination, or any who so much as suspects it might benefit from such an inventory process, should endeavor to bring Andre de Waal in to do the job. A decision to do so could dramatically re-direct business practices in unexpected but positive new directions. That consequence has certainly been the case for my company and for me.
Ken Lizotte CMC, President emerson consulting group inc.
“We found the process to be incredibly valuable. The study showed not only what makes Archway great but we also now have statistically valid Attention Points to work on that tie back to the Five Pillars. This needs to become an annual benchmarking process for all organizations striving to become and remain high performing. Dr. de Waal’s definition of a High Performance Organization should be the world-wide standard.”
Mike Moroz, President Archway
"I had heard about the great work that Andre de Waal and his HPO Center were doing as it relates to High Performance Organizations but I had no idea the overwhelming effect that he would have on our company. If I can distill Andre’s results...Longfellow Benefits is clearly an HPO. That said, we have some work to do to assure we stay there. Andre’s easy to understand recommendations will provide the structure we need to get Longfellow to the next level. Bravo, Andre and your team!”
Craig S. Cerretani, Principal Longfellow Benefits
