Testimonial

Thank you for a very helpful, clear, and orderly reflection of our strengths and our "developing strengths" (a.k.a. weaknesses). I am so grateful The Forum was able to assemble such a fantastic team of insightful, thoughtful professionals to work with us. It is clear from the report that this team grasped the complexity of our organization, the talents and reach of many of our people, and the effects of the external forces we are attempting to address as we grow our international presence.
