Not once but twice in the past year I’ve had the pleasure to work with Plexus Consulting Group of Washington, D. C.  My first experience was as the co-chair of the Alexandria City Public School’s strategic planning committee.  During the six-month strategic planning process, Plexus was invaluable in assisting our system in developing a meaningful and extremely useful strategic plan.  This was not the simplest of groups with whom they’ve worked as we wished to involve a large representation of stakeholders.  The planning sessions which were held over a period of five months with sometimes upwards of 50 individuals participating not only went smoothly but resulted in an extensive, well-developed plan which will serve the school division and our community for years to come.

So it was no wonder that when I retired from the school division and became executive director of ACT for Alexandria that I went back “to the well” that had proved so successful for the Alexandria City Public Schools.  And again, not only wasn’t I disappointed but I was extremely pleased with the result.  The timing was ripe for a revisit of our vision, mission and plan and Plexus was the company with whom to invest our trust in getting us where we needed to be.  Our board, like many, is composed of many highly motivated and successful members of our community.  The issues related to navigating such a group through the planning process can be somewhat precarious with a certain skill set needed to make the result all it should be.  Again, Plexus “stepped-up” and provided the insight, guidance and direction needed to move us to a more clearly defined vision, more aptly stated mission and more appropriate goals.  We are looking forward to continuing our relationship with them as we now move to the “rubber meets the road” phase of business plan development.  While entering this next stage with a small amount of trepidation, I am glad to have Plexus on our side.

If your company, association or organization is in need of planning or management related services, I can’t recommend any company more highly than I can Plexus.  In my forty year career with the Alexandria City Schools and numerous community nonprofit organizations, I’ve been involved in a number of planning related ventures with various consultants.  In my experience I’ve not had a more successful experience than the two with Plexus.

I wanted to inform you that the part of Plexus consultant's “Scenario Planning” assignment comes to an end today, she’ll be heading back home tonight. I also would like to inform you that it was such a pleasure working with her. She showed an exceptional level of commitment and dedication to her work that made it enjoyable to all of us working with her.

In fact due to her enthusiasm and professionalism, we all at SABEQ have a very positive feeling about this assignment. We think that it will yield good outcomes that we didn’t foresee when the entire thing started. Plexus deserves to be acknowledged for finding and recommending her.

Just as a follow up after nearly two years since your study, ASHI has been accredited by NCCA for the ASHI Certified Inspector designation.  The decision to move this direction was based on your work. It has been well received and I think that it will ultimately help us to grow membership.

Times have been tough with the economy but ASHI is surviving and moving forward.

Plexus Consulting evaluated ACP’s operations in membership, product development and marketing, based on the views of members, non-members and staff, through the use of surveys, interviews and focus groups.  The evaluation was completed on-time, within budget, and provided useful recommendations for how ACP can set priorities and become more effective.

"Plexus brought a comprehensive approach to ACR’s strategic planning effort--before during and after. Before, Plexus provided the neutrality of a third party membership surveyor and stakeholder interviewer. During, Plexus faced the challenge of facilitating a board composed of facilitators while adding in benchmarks and lessons learned from other clients. Afterward, Plexus ensured that the work was not only electronically captured, but was detailed down to a “who, what, when, and how” action plan that could be monitored by date and by the responsible individual. The last part makes all the difference between a plan that is filed away and a plan that has energy and commitment."

"ASQ used Plexus Consulting for an engagement that led to very significant global strategies. (Plexus’s lead consultant was) very knowledgeable and has worked with many professional associations.

"This past fall, our school division embarked on a much needed strategic planning initiative. Having little experience in this arena, the system decided the most productive way to move forward with this endeavor would be to enlist the assistance of a consulting firm with both previous strategic planning experience and the desire and capability to work with a diverse community to develop a plan.

Our RFP process resulted in a number of firms to consider. After follow-up meetings and much discussion, Plexus Consulting was chosen to assist us. We chose Plexus as a result of their extensive experience, the process they described, and the outcomes they expected. They also displayed an extraordinary understanding of what we were hoping to accomplish and the expanse of individuals we wanted to make sure were included in the process.

From the initial planning session to the culminating meeting, Plexus not only met but exceeded our expectations. Plexus would gladly meet with us to plan for upcoming sessions and then follow-up to debrief on what we accomplished and/or learned after each large group meeting. The Plexus team was extremely professional, respectful of the points of view of everyone on the team, and focused on accomplishing the task at hand. Additionally, they could view the plan and process from the “outside” which proved extremely helpful for those of us who were in the system and/or City. The end result was an exceptional strategic plan and one which will, I am sure, not end up on a shelf for someone to find in a couple of years and ask about. What impressed me most was the seeming ease with which the sessions flowed and the plan developed.

If you are contemplating a strategic planning initiative for your system, I highly recommend that you do so and make it a plan which will be used. I also highly recommend Plexus Consulting as they will provide you both with an exceptional product and one which will be accomplished in a positive, inclusive fashion."

The research you prepared and your excellent facilitation of the retreat with our Board of Directors and staff have become a foundation for our strategic and operational planning.

We look forward to efforts to extend our work with you and your organization in the future.

Plexus Consulting Group, LLC was recruited to work with GEGI under a USAID-BearingPoint contract designed among other things to promote business development here in Georgia. Plexus worked with GEGI from August to October 2004 as self-certification consultants assisting business associations to develop self-certification programs for their respective industries. Plexus consultants conducted needs assessments, provided formal training, and on going individualized technical assistance for the business associations. Their initial work was so well received that they were invited to return to Georgia in March and April 2005 for follow-on work.

During this subsequent visit, the number of associations requesting assistance went from five to nine. The industries that they worked with included accounting, auditing, real estate, marketing, export, agriculture, alternative dispute resolution and insurance. Additionally several USAID staff relied directly on their expertise in standards and certification to consult with them on other projects. The Advisor to the State Minister of Economic Reform personally requested Plexus’s assistance in helping him design a governmental template for a system of personnel regulation that would cross all employment sectors.

Plexus’s work here in Georgia resulted in several tangible products that will continue to support the development of industry standards and certifications. They include helping several associations create individualized self-certification business plans, a national Summit on Self-Certification, the creation of a resource library of materials for the GEGI website, and the development of an informal networking forum for associations that can lead to a sustainable local support system. Another important product created was a consensus (government-private sector) designed template for the government and private sector to use to define criteria and models for creating an internationally recognized personnel regulatory continuum from self-regulation through shared regulation and government regulation across all industry sectors.
I have been extremely pleased with everyone I have worked with from the Plexus team, they have all be knowledgeable experts in their fields, experienced in working with international arenas and results oriented. They have provided valuable insights and assistance to the GEGI project and I hope to have the opportunity to work with them again.

I am extremely pleased with the performance of Plexus Consulting. Their flexibility and responsiveness resulted in a concise, astute product that was carefully and thoroughly researched and more than satisfied our needs. This was accomplished despite a mid-project change in objective. Plexus quickly adapted to the change and fulfilled the new criteria. I will include them in my planning for future projects.

In 2002, Plexus mobilized its existing network of affiliate offices in Europe and Asia to complete international market research for Goodwill Global for six national markets: Belgium, France, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Goodwill Global contracted the Plexus Consulting Group to identify high-potential strategic partners or allies for the Goodwill movement, as well as existing competitors, as it considers expansion into these markets. Plexus was instructed to assess a broad array of potential partners, including nonprofit organizations, for-profit corporations, governmental agencies, human services providers and retail operations, that may have demanded for Goodwill's key business competencies. Plexus generated a report for each of the six markets that included a brief analytical overview of potential partners, followed by detailed descriptions and contact information for each organization that it identified.

The Plexus Consulting Group completed this work on a fast-track schedule to meet our needs and provided information on all six markets in the course of nine weeks. Its final report included organizational information on 41 potential partners, and Plexus supplied a larger listing of 31 other organizations that it had initially researched, but discounted for future business development as they did not fully conform to our criteria and competencies. Plexus' fee was very favorable, and the firm provided excellent client service after delivery of its product.

Thank you for your excellent work in making the CMHC Housing Export Trade Mission to Washington, D.C. a successful event in terms of the high quality meetings you arranged for the participants. The feedback we have received from the [participants] indicates their satisfaction with the quality of the potential U.S. partners that they met. As a direct result of the mission, most of the participants are currently negotiating representation and distribution agreements and some are also quoting or expecting to quote on potential export orders. Thanks to you and your staff at Plexus for their support and assistance.

We would like to use this opportunity to thank Plexus Consulting for their professional excellence displayed at the training "Internet as a Tool for Business Association Strengthening" that took place in Kiev, Ukraine on January 22-25, 2002. Plexus's consultant not only introduced more than 60 representatives of business associations from all over Ukraine into the best Internet practices of American associations, but also provided them with valuable hands-on advice on how they can use Internet to better serve their existing members and attract new ones. Due to its Soviet past, consequences of communist ideology and command economy, the Internet in Ukraine has a relatively short history of development; that is why the innovative techniques presented by Plexus were of special value to Ukrainian business associations, most of whom are novices in Internet use. In addition, having considerable experience working with public organizations, Plexus demonstrated a thorough understanding of association management, day-to-day operations and problems they face, as well as an ability to find solutions to those problems. Thank you for the great job you've done and may you be successful in all your endeavors!

Plexus Consulting Group played an extremely important role in facilitating our strategic planning during 2001. As a 14-member country, international professional council, operating under the auspices of a US-based governing body and having grown despite lack of formal strategic planning, our true destiny lies beyond US borders. However, such destiny and vision can only be reached with sound planning which is in full recognition of the vision itself. Plexus Consulting enabled us to distill our vision and then focus on the vision to develop the strategic mechanisms to pursue it.

At each stage of the process we achieved new, fresh outcomes. The [consultant's] manner and alertness to the task at hand ensured that we remained focused. She skillfully articulated the processes required for successful strategic planning outcomes. She also delicately mediated discussions between international member countries and the US representatives in broadly achieving a governance model truly representative of the international scene. This - in an environment of more than eight first languages - is testimony to the sound methodology adopted by Plexus Consulting Group.

Plexus Consulting Group led our international membership association through an organizational audit and strategic planning process that was thorough, professional and effective. Within a relatively short time frame, we arrived at a strategic plan that established a road map for reorganization and a more focused perspective of our mission. The Plexus Group conducted a membership survey, interviewed several key opinion leaders in our association and conducted three regional focus groups prior to facilitating our strategic planning session that led to a new work plan for our board and membership. Several participants commented on the excellent work of Plexus and how it helped build confidence and support among our diverse membership for our new directions. We are confident that this audit and planning process was an essential step in our efforts to redefine our organization. Our thanks go to the entire Plexus team for their excellent leadership and support for our association.

Plexus assisted us in understanding our communications shortcomings and helped pave the way for cross-programmatic, internal and external communications improvement. For some time we knew our communications outreach program was not hitting on all cylinders. Then Plexus came in. They stripped our processes down and identified shortcomings, broke down programmatic stovepipes, and helped us develop and set a course for more effective and efficient strategic communications. In short, our strategic communications efforts had slowly and steadily drifted off course. Plexus provided the right navigational aids to put our communications efforts back on track. Our plan is now seaworthy and the foundation for a unified, focused strategic communications outreach program.

I want to tell you how much I appreciate the support and guidance that you and your team have given Societas over the past year. Beginning with the initial strategizing, and ending with a specific fundraising plan for us to carry forward, Plexus has truly been a partner in the creation and launch of our new organization. I think that you can be proud that [Plexus has] brought us to the point that we can move ahead on our own with confidence that we have the right structure and a good foundation of contacts and information to build upon. I appreciate your putting me in touch with very useful contacts, both here and in Europe, and the willingness of your team to go the extra mile to help us in whatever was needed at the time. You can take credit for having helped in the birth of a new and dynamic organization. I told the board that we have received good value from Plexus for the fees paid, and I hope that we will have future opportunities to work together as Societas grows.

Thank you for your assistance with the Barker Foundation's strategic planning process. We asked you to do something quite unusual I would imagine -- to jump into an on-going process and shore up our volunteer leadership so that we would be assured of a plan that would serve as a guide for the future. Your responsiveness and expertise were obvious from our first conversation. You eagerly set about to add value to what we had already accomplished and to provide guidance for the next stages. I found your observations on the importance of mission, vision, and values to be especially helpful. Your skill was clear in your handling of the steering committee meeting where we discussed these topics. The staff of the agency also appreciated your care and thoroughness in taking the time to interview each of them and transmit their thoughts, feelings, and suggestions to the Board of Trustees.

The National Association of Manufacturers is a large and fairly conservative association that does not undertake change lightly. So when it came time to choose a consulting firm that would guide us through one of the most extensive organizational changes in our 102-year history, we knew we had to choose carefully.

We were very pleased with the results.

Plexus Consulting Group assisted us in exploring the feasibility of establishing a higher certification and education program for property and real estate managers in the United States. To do this they undertook nationwide quantitative and qualitative market research consisting of direct mail surveys, focus group sessions and one-on-one interviews with opinion leaders. They designed the program and handled every aspect of it flawlessly. Furthermore they brought their firm’s experience to bear in offering us guidance as to how such a program should be structured and managed. We are very happy with the depth, breadth and quality of the management consulting services we received from Plexus Consulting Group.

Under the skillful direction of Plexus Consultants, our organization underwent a self-identification process based on results of a recent membership survey. The facilitator guided our thoughts and aspirations into a strategic plan flexible enough to adapt to changing needs but sufficiently detailed enough to ensure commitment and follow through. The future holds great promise for us.
