Jim has been a real pleasure to work with both personally and professionally for the past 5 years. He helped us develop an execution rhythm and muscle that would have taken much longer to develop on our own (if ever.) Our core values, planning and execution rhythms are installed as part of our operating system now. During our time working with Jim, we’e more than doubled our size, strengthened our leadership team and are well poised for success.
Testimonials
Jim Swanson, CEO Kitchell Corporation
We used Jim Alampi for several years to facilitate our annual and quarterly strategic planning meetings. In a short time using The Execution Maximizer process he established a system which brought leaders from our multiple disciplines working together for the common good. He established a professional and collaborative atmosphere which generated creative and impactful problem identification, analysis, and positive solutions. His style keeps people energized and accountable.
John Vikupitz, President, Netafim
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.
Stephen Polk, Chairman and CEO, R.L. Polk & Company
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.
Jill Blashack-Strahan, CEO, Tastefully Simple – Joani Nielson, COO, Tastefully Simple
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. Jim does an incredible job preparing participants for meetings and he is extremely results oriented. Our entire team found The Execution Maximizer process an exceptionally beneficial tool to help gain clarity and a shared sense of purpose.
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.
