Since starting our strategic planning process under your guidance I have seen a renewed passion and commitment to results in my team. I especially value the focus you helped us bring to a few critical initiatives as opposed to trying to tackle a huge laundry list of projects. I think it is fair to say that the management team was universally pleased with the way you conducted the meeting and the practical perspective you brought from your many years as a top executive. This is something most traditional “strategy consultants” simply don’t have.

Jim has been an important part of regular strategic planning and the goal setting process at R. L. Polk & Co. He has provided us with structure, challenge and insight while maintaining accountability across the senior management of our company. Working with Jim is not for the faint hearted, as he is willing to ask the tough questions. I can heartily recommend Jim for your business strategy and planning efforts.

Jim provides extraordinary value by bringing new ideas and perspectives to the strategic planning process. He is phenomenal at gaining alignment, identifying opportunities for improvement and creating accountability for success.

R. Jeffrey Kimball, President, L.R. Kimball
Jim Alampi has worked with our Corporate and divisions operations teams for about two years. We found him particularly adept in helping us deal with complex issues surrounding our growth plans. He brought clarity and focus to our discussions surrounding leadership development and our rebranding. Jim’s experience helped us move forward at a faster pace that we would have achieved on our own.
Jill Duemeland, President, Duemelands Commercial
We are a 105 year old company and never have established core values, a mission statement or defined our purpose. Jim Alampi’s The Execution Roadmap made it feasible and paved the way for our company to establish those key items for a company’s foundation. We have never felt more passionate about our core values, mission statement and purpose. It was a great team building exercise for our company. Thank you Jim for making this feasible.
Tony Galasso, President and COO of Sanimax Industries
At Sanimax we operate in a segment of the Agriculture industry that is down to earth and practical. A lot of what we do is instinctual and historically has been based on a stable business model. However, these old paradigms are changing in our industry and new challenges have emerged for Sanimax.
Jim has enabled us to see our current ways of doing things and has taken us through The Execution Maximizer process of discovery as a company. We are now developing a more proactive approach to our strategic opportunities and getting ahead of the challenges we face. Jim makes us think about our traditional business in new ways that has allowed us to modernize our company. Jim’s approach is straightforward and fits well with our entrepreneurial mindset at Sanimax. As a seasoned business leader Jim has brought us a perfect blend of Corporate leadership and entrepreneurial spirit. Jim is able to relate to our senior team in ways that go well beyond a pure facilitator role. In many ways, we feel Jim is an extension of our Executive Leadership Team at Sanimax. It is a fine line but he manages it very well. We are lucky to have you on the team Jim – thanks.
