Client Interview:
Client Story:
"The vast bulk of consultants get under the skin of a firm in such a way that the
firm becomes increasingly dependant on the consultant support. Conversely, JMW is not there to tell people how to run their business, but how
to be more of themselves and deliver results.
JMW shows people how to do things they didn’t know they could do. The leverage
ratio then, instead of 1 to 20, is probably more like 1 to 200. With the people
in the firm doing the implementation, the power is left in the firm, and the
firm is left with an enduring sense of how it can perform."
—Chief Executive
"The biggest strategic weapon we have in a large organization is how to get the best out of our people.
JMW gave us the opportunity to place our business where the competition will
have to follow. We can always use what we got from JMW; it will always be
there."
—President
"The JMW philosophy is truly innovative and advanced;
the learnings transcend the specific project to become part of the fabric of
the team's culture."
—VP & General Manager, Internet & Connectivity Solutions Division
"Our work with JMW had significant impact in three areas: It produced a shift in employee morale and contribution, a shift in
the market perception of our company, and a dramatic increase in financial and business performance.
A defining moment came when I challenged my senior leadership to achieve a very
difficult operations target. Unexpectedly, they not only accepted the challenge
with ownership, they came back volunteering to deliver something even bigger. I
knew then that we had what it would take to move the company to a new level.
JMW was instrumental in the leadership relating to the goals in this new manner
and going on to produce the dramatic improvement in our company's performance."
—President and CEO
"Deep down, we knew we could do much better. We just didn't know how.
Our work with JMW created an environment where we discovered how to produce
results way beyond business as usual."
—Senior Vice President, Software Engineering
"Time and again, JMW helps you produce outstanding results while also transforming your organization's abilities.
They don't bring the answer into the organization; they induce the result from
the inside by revealing the inherent capabilities and strengths of the people."
—Chairman
"I found The Leader of the Future® to be one of the most enduring development experiences of my career.
For me, the program is all about performance, and how you have the potential to
make an impact in your company."
—Executive VP, HR
"JMW's unique combination of developing leadership while focusing on achieving specific results is complementary and supportive
in having a company achieve a new level of performance.
As a result of their work, I have observed an unmistakable change in how people
view their roles, and who they need to be to fulfill on the company's future...
Having JMW on board provides an incredible tool for any leader trying to
transform their company from where it is to where they want it to be."
—Chief Operating Officer
"The JMW breakthrough training has enabled us to deliver sustainable and profitable growth.
It has also given us the tools to interact effectively and to consistently
increase the rate of technology innovation and knowledge expansion."
—General Manager, Exploration and Reservoir Information Services
"I have had JMW as a partner in some of the toughest situations anyone could experience in business,
from revitalizing whole oil exploration provinces where the challenges were
capital cost and technology, through refocusing manufacturing by the
introduction of new plant and products, to securing the future of unprofitable
businesses by blasting out costs and transforming plant reliability. There is
no doubt that reason alone would not have delivered the required results. The
step beyond, that our people needed to take in every instance, was invented,
nurtured and delivered together with JMW."
—Director, Production, Refining and Petrochemicals
"The unique way that JMW combines the formal training with the on-the-job work to reinforce it is very powerful.
We are thinking about things in a different way. We have created possibilities
far beyond our past experience and have realized results that were far beyond
the predictable."
—Executive VP, Strategic Projects
