Kent A. Brcka, President of Henkel Construction sent our team this comment after their strategic planning sessions were completed. We would like to share the positive feedback that we received: "Our Strategic Plan had not been updated for many years and I wanted to engage a professional “outside” entity who could provide guidance to our organization. The systematic processes implemented during the sessions led our team, step-by-step through the experience and stimulated valuable discussions about many important aspects of our business. Ultimately, we were able to develop several key deliverables that will help propel our buiness successfully into the future."
