Feedback
In terms of technology, we are closing the gap between expectation and reality in our business. Our session with Nigel enabled my team and I to re assess our progress and target the critical element of communication and expectation management of our internal businesses - as we all know delivery is expected but the stakeholder communication is how we generate the leverage.
Getting Nigel involved in the preparation as well as facilitation of our offsites, ensures the quality of the communication and the experience of the participants is always enjoyable.
Using facts and humour, he turned a team of sceptics into a focused and relaxed group in just a short time. Nigel keeps an eye on everything and ensures the interactions during sessions are focused and generate meaningful results.
I know Nigel will wrap and deliver material which allows my team and I to present significant challenges to our regional leaders in a focused and enjoyable forum.
