What Our Clients Say

About Strategic Thinking...

	See the real, tangible results reported by DPI clients Caterpillar, Ball Corp, LandAmerica, Acuity Insurance and FLEXcon

"We are less obsessed with our traditional competitors than before … less reactive to their ‘me-too’ strategies. We are much more going to go in our own direction, full of ‘competitors-be-damned’ than before."

—Ted Chandler, Senior Executive Vice President, LandAmerica, Inc.

"If you want to maintain your leadership or even survive, this process will get the job done better than any I’ve seen … the creation of shareholder value has been rather spectacular."

—Don Fites, CEO, Caterpillar, Inc.

"I've been exposed to McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group and Bain and Company and I'm sure they're intellectually sound but they're not of the people, by the people, through the people. When it comes to executing the strategy, they are miles behind the DPI process. It's simply ownership."

—Kurt Wiedenhaupt, CEO, American Precision Industries

"Mike’s process helps you achieve competitive supremacy, to dominate whatever sandbox you’re in, and change the rules of play."

—Jack Pickard, President and CEO, FedEx Custom Critical

"The DPI Process is based on clear thinking .. You don’t get some grey-headed guys who come in from a consulting firm who sell you the job and then send all the kids out to take your watch and tell you what time it is. We didn’t need an army of people crawling around."

—David Hoover, Chairman, President and CEO, Ball Corporation

"It’s a powerful concept, and it’s the right concept for any organization. For CTCA the results have been spectacular!"

—Steve Bonner, President and CEO, Cancer Treatment Centers of America

"We learned the difference between content and process strategy consultants. With DPI we do the thinking using the Strategic Thinking Process. We create the strategy and there’s a clear timetable and responsibilities for implementation."

—Benjamin Salzmann, CEO, ACUITY

"We emerged from the e-Strategy Process with three very serious initiatives."

—Hennie du Plessis, CEO, Digital Health Solutions

"We have had a phenomenal change throughout the company as a result of the DPI Strategic Thinking Process."

—Victoria Buyniski Gluckman, CEO, United Medial Resources
United Medical Resources

About the Process of Strategic Product Innovation...

"Using this process we now have a pipeline full of ideas. We have identified a wide variety of very high return products with a potential of $300 million in the next three to five years."

—Eugene Bak, President and COO, OMG, Inc.

"We now look at our new products differently. Are they new to the market? Will they help us compete? Will they enable us to change the rules of play in our markets? We're moving forward on eighteen very exciting new products."

—Richard Warzala, President, API Motion

"Using this process, we've developed several new businesses that have produced almost as much revenue as our core business... The DPI people have been fabulous. They take a low-key approach, help you make your own decisions and guide you through the process like a shepherd."

—Robert Russell, President, McGraw-Hill Information Company

About Decision Making Processes...

"If you're going to solve complex challenges, these processes must be imbedded in your culture. Around here they've become part of the language. ...We've grown from $100 million to over $300 million and plan to grow to a billion... DPI's concepts are a critical part of that growth."

—Neil McDonough, President, FLEXcon, Inc.

"The DPI process has taught me to be more analytical, confident, and able to see things from different perspectives. The DPI partner made it interesting and lively. I would certainly recommend this process to anyone who wants to sharpen his people's skills in problem-solving and decision making."

—Jimmy Loh, Manager, Asia Pacific, Visa International
