“The concept of ‘strategy management’ is growing in importance within enterprises that have an execution mandate. Yet, there are only handful of strategists who truly understand what it takes to link strategy to operations.

“Michael was an enormous help to the City’s performance management program. Michael advised the City on how to use Cognos as the performance management software platform and on how to retool our performance management process. The outcome of Michael’s work with the City was that we were able to run more productive performance management sessions, using the Cognos technology, but focused on the overall process.”
