Tim has a lot of strategic horsepower. He assisted us in developing a strategic plan and was instrumental in ensuring actionable outcomes from it. He blends theory and practice nicely, and is an excellent facilitator. I would recommend him without hesitation to any company large or small who needs help with planning and implementation.
