Testimonials
"We had all the parts, but didn’t have a cohesive whole. A talented group of experienced information technology (IT) leaders in higher education, we had a hard time hearing each other, making decisions, and effectively planning and implementing key initiatives. We kept getting stuck.
And today, this group of experienced professionals is a far more effective team. Yes, team. Scott Savage worked with us individually and collectively, respectfully but purposefully. He used his experience and knowledge, intuition, creativity, intelligence, and humor to help us become the high-functioning team we knew we could be.
Sure, we still have bad days. That’s life, and this is ongoing work that we cannot ignore. But every member of the team has grown personally since Scott started to work with us. As a result, we are far better equipped to analyze what we need to do differently, to confront issues more directly and effectively, and to move the organization’s work forward in a more collaborative environment. We laugh a lot more, too, in this kinder, gentler environment.
This is the second time I’ve worked with Scott with the leadership team of a central IT service organization in a world-class research university. I believe that his ability to do this “soft stuff” so successfully with a bunch of analytical IT leaders suggests that he can probably help any group."
