What Others Are Saying
Mr. Benson is excellent in understanding the purpose of his consulting. His skill in causing the client to really concentrate on the goal of the consulting arrangement helps to provide the client a valuable return on the investment of time and money. He doesn't provide the client with a cookie cutter approach to what he thinks but through his ability to engage the client and their staff into helping identify the solutions that are best for the client. He provides direction at the end of his consulting arrangement to ensure that the time spent in the consulting arrangement will produce results.
As the Chairman of the Board of North Midtown CDC, our organization along with Good Samaritian-Midtown engaged Rob Benson to assist us in reaching a decision on merging our two organizations. Political, personal, program and political issues had to be addressed. We were very pleased with the results achieved in our consulting arrangement and have proceeded with our decision to finalize the merger between our two 501c3 organizations and and would confidently recommend Rob Benson as someone who is very talented in facilitating organizational change.

Case Study
One of our Pacific Northwest clients had just gone through a major re-organization of its entire mill. They asked us for a proposal on some “team building.” Because the re-organization was driven by major work systems and product mix changes, there were lots of projects and “mini-projects” in the works.
We developed a workshop that delivered two learning packages for about the cost of one and in about the time it takes to deliver one product. We structured a Project Management workshop that was based upon team exercises, then ran the workshop in such a way that the newly formed, natural work teams went through the training intact. We structured the exercises so that the teams working upon each exercise ABSOLUTELY HAD TO INVOLVE EACH AND EVERY TEAM MEMBER TO BE SUCCESSFUL. Along with the basics of Project Management, these natural work teams quickly learned to work together.
So, two-for-one. Project Management, a hard skill, along with Team Building, a soft skill, in the same time in the same place in about the same time for about the same price!
