Client Feedback

I am writing to commend Yellow Wood Associates - and you personally - for your assistance with Vermont Environmental Consortium's recent strategic planning process. I was pleased that "You Get What You Measure®" was easily explained to participants, and that its very nature - interesting and fun - stimulated my board to think creatively and positively. I can only describe YGWYM as a technology that takes in a jumble of inchoate and often contradictory ideas about mission, vision, values, policies, priorities, goals, objectives, measures, etc., processes them, and turns them out as coherent, explicit planning prodcuts. In sum: terrific! I commend your work highly, and I will be happy to offer my recommendation to other organizations considering Yellow Wood for planning consultation and facilitation.

Daniel Hecht, VEC Executive Director
