“As part of our company growth planning, I commissioned Milner to create and run a special strategy workshop for my board and management team in Paris. Before the workshop, Nick Milner interviewed all the attendees to understand their view on the opportunities and the threats. He also arranged for specific attendees to prepare presentations on key topics to present at the workshop. The two-day workshop agenda included presentations, syndicate exercises and discussion sessions. The day after the workshop, I received a copy of a draft strategy document and a copy of all the slides and material created at the workshop. The whole process was expertly run and my colleagues thought it was a great success. Following the workshop, I personally appreciated the practical input and recommendations about what needs to be done to deliver our strategy from sales, to our web and PR plans. I highly recommend the Milner strategy workshop.”
