Word of mouth from "Verne Harnish" Clients


"Verne is extremely enthusiastic and committed to helping companies "manage fast growth". His passion for helping companies grow is clearly illustrated in his sessions. Verne has great material and is a great business guru in the area of "fast growth companies". Weather your organization is in the start up phase or a well established company Verne will push you to work hard at taking your organization to the next level. His programme at MIT [The Birthing of Giants] positively changed the way I run my company."

"I feel that it was a home-run decision for any CEO to attend Verne's Workshop. We at Kenexa, incorporated many of Verne's ideas, tools and his insights. These have been quick, to the point, refreshingly transparent and always productive."

"My personal experience is that this session was the single most important strategic step our company has taken forward in seven years. This from a guy (me) who used to be a Bain & Company strategy consultant who was paid to develop strategy for Fortune 500 firms. Verne showed me how to get it right for mid sized firms. More importantly, the structure of the session, in which I brought my entire senior team to co-create our strategic document and process, was instrumental to the "stickiness" of behavioral change. Nearly two years ago we attended Verne's session and our commitment to the behaviors of strategic success is stronger today than ever. Now, whenever we bring a new member into our leadership team, they attend Verne's session there's no better way we know to bring someone up to speed rapidly."

"Ammex has seen huge results since implementing the Rockefeller Habits over the last four years. Sales have increased from $6.7 million to $20 million, profits have increased over 400%, and we've opened up two new warehouses, added a dozen new Asian suppliers and opened our first overseas office in China.

We've implemented a one-to-one marketing program through our CRM tool to manage and enhance the relationships with our 13,000+ clients. We hold daily huddles, [determine] quarterly themes and maintain a monthly and quarterly off-site program for team leaders and members. The creation of these rhythms has produced positive results. Ammex has aggressively implemented a Topgrading program for existing and new team members. Despite a significant increase in revenues, the team has only doubled to a mere 37 team members. More importantly, with sales poised to grow to $30 million in 2004, we are projecting adding only a few extra team members. Lastly, by implementing open-book management, financial awareness has increased among the team and allowed us to become even more competitive in an ultra-competitive market. It's safe to say that had Ammex not made the Rockefeller Habits part of our corporate DNA, we would not be where we are today."

"I wanted to take the time to thank you for your 2 day course that you gave in Montreal. I have been a very active YPO member for close to 10 years, including being part of the YPO executive in Quebec and participation in many educational programs such as YPO/Harvard seminar. In all of that time, I had primarily invested in myself, while omitting my team. I was on "one page", and the team was clearly not aligned. Your course opened their eyes to possibilities and the joy of continuous life long improvement. The next day (Friday), one of my managers came into my office and was emotional about the reasons why he loved CBCI.THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERYDAY. There is a general feeling of what we can accomplish if we work together and align our organization according.......mediocrity is no longer an option."
