"Insigniam's [Productivity Workshop] was the most impact-filled business course that I have ever done. My productivity has doubled since I began using the tools. I find myself naturally in action, producing the results that I need to make happen. I now have time not only for professional success but also for family, travel, hobbies and doing all the things that I want to do."

"We utilized Insigniam's methodology to challenge ourselves to exceed even our most ambitious expectations. By aligning the team around a breakthrough project, we were able to surpass our goal of 50,000 patients reached by the year 2000. None of our projections, even the most aggressive, would have predicted that level of performance."

"Working with Insigniam Performance has truly helped our ability to manage the intricacies of a global, matrixed organization.

Partner, Accenture


"The leadership team of one of Accenture's largest client accounts attended the [Insigniam Performance] three-day leadership program earlier this year. Three months later we still talk about the course and, on a daily basis, use and practice many of the concepts we learned. I personally learned many new ways to dramatically increase my leadership effectiveness. The follow-up coaching sessions have been excellent and a great way to push my thinking and reinforce the key messages from the course."

"Insigniam Performance is far from the typical 'off the shelf' or 'one-size-fits-all' organizational consulting firm. On the contrary, they bring a richly developed set of tools and techniques combined with an unsurpassed ability to facilitate processes tailored to the uniqueness of each client.

Their ability to handle dynamic processes as they emerge and support the development of the unpredictable is unsurpassed in my experience, they work on the human side of the business endeavor while always focused on the business imperative to 'move the mail' in concrete ways."

"Insigniam Performance helped us focus on what really mattered for our organization, but then, more importantly, got us to shift our typical ways of working to produce the unpredictable. Our work with them really made the difference."

"By working with Insigniam Performance, our senior leadership group is now collaborating at a new level. We now have one aligned portfolio across the enterprise - which is tremendous progress from where we have been before.

Tradeoffs in the past have always been difficult, but through working with Insigniam, our senior leadership group now sees themselves as managing the whole component and have proven they can make choices across the boundaries of the individual responsibilities. This spirit of collaboration has set a new operating paradigm."

The Hershey Company


"The engagement with Insigniam Performance was a transformation event for Hershey's Information Services Department. In a very short period of time, we were able to dramatically increase the level of employee engagement among a team that had experience with defeat. Insigniam Performance's 'Breakthrough Principles' program helped our people to develop skills and competence in disengaging from disappointments at work, and being inspired, and willing to take bigger risks. [Insigniam]'s people, tools and methodology were instrumental in delivering our SAP upgrade program on time and under budget."

- Vice President of Marketing
Global 200 Pharmaceutical Co


"We were preparing to introduce our product one year behind the market leader, a leader that had dominated the market (90% share) for 10 years, when I realized that we would not succeed without a philosophical change in mindset. The consulting offered by Insigniam Performance transformed our thinking, the way we processed what's possible and not possible and gave us the courage to keep going when others thought that we couldn't.

Within six months of launch, we had captured more than 50% of the market, beat analysts' projections and became the new standard of care."

"In New Product Development, the team increased and improved the numbers of new products being developed and changed the process to be more responsive to our needs, specifically: produced a 300% increase in the number of new products in the pipeline, and developed a quick review process, 'the lean screen', that enabled an accelerated process."

- Senior Vice President
Research
Fortune 200 Pharma Company


"I was impressed with your process. First, focusing on resolving long-term issues and complaints made our group immediately more productive. Next, introducing new ways of resolving any future issues and practices around communication enhanced our sense of team. Finally, by helping to develop the main strategic outcomes we would deliver in the next three years, we were able to focus on our future success, rather than the issues from the past ... Our delivery of a record number of 12 drug candidates is certainly a step in the right direction."

"In Operations, the team became more effective at overcoming the obstacles that they faced - particularly, the ability to provide products as needed. Specifically, the company reached 98% fill rates [compared to a prior rate below 90%]; instituted a gold standard program with vendors; [and] put in cpk measures and improved the cpk measure on several products."

"No other course identifies and addresses your power as a leader as this course does - and I have participated in many of the top leadership programs in business today. [Insigniam's leadership] program's tools and learning have provided a path to seek new opportunities beyond the obvious, and to develop effective strategies to implement these opportunities and successfully gain peoples' ownership and buy-in along the way."

"Prior to taking [Insigniam's Productivity Workshop], my days consisted of crisis management and no time to plan the future - merely reacting to one thing after another. Now I find myself having more time to bring thinking and innovation to my accountability, time to actually meet with and talk to my employees with less stress and an increase in productivity both at home and work."
