BUSINESS EVOLVES
EVOLVE WITH IT

“The problem with thinking we knew everything was the cessation of learning anything. A change nearly ended our business. We didn’t listen to our most valuable assets; employees and customers. PDS built a reinforcing team with urgency, vision, communication, and buy-in, for repeatable success.”

“I believe a hard lesson is long lasting. However, there are time when you can’t depend on the people who created a situation to be the same ones to solve it. Otherwise, why did they let it happen? Program Design Solutions provided strategic processes that halted expensive trips down and out of the rabbit hole.”

“We had a 12-month plan to position our company. Program Design Solutions interviewed leadership, analyzed our projects, reviewed our tactics, and restructured our strategic plan to position us in three months. When we opened ourselves to other possibilities, we discovered a new way forward.”

“I had no interest in managerial accounting, human resources, or an in-depth well-developed strategic plan. However, PDS patiently demonstrated how strategy sets priorities, financial analyses drive decisions, integrated marketing drives brand engagement and sales, and culture drives innovation.”

“We felt we were masters of project and change management. However, we were always starting over at the beginning of every change. We didn't realize project management and change management are not the same. It's all about culture and PDS was instrumental in making change stick.”

“I thought hiring a consultant wasn't worth the time, expense nor effort. I'm glad we didn't maintain that train of thought for too long. Not asking for help was costing us upward of 25-30% more than needed in some areas and higher in others.”

“PDS showed us how to reduce costs, increase revenues and improve cash flow. They were instrumental in streamlining our product and service offerings, more clearly defining our customer-base, and insuring our sales staff and associates were selling the same company.”

“Being a business owner, I wasn't looking for someone to tell me how to run my business. However, I soon realized being a good producer didn't mean a consummate business manager. PDS helped identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats and gaps I needed to address.”

“We honestly thought we were operating at maximum capacity and had eliminated waste from our processes. However, after one meeting with a PDS team member, it was obvious we had not exercised all of our options to decrease inefficiency and increase profits.”

“We wanted to make sure we were keeping with our competition. By using PDS to analyze and recommend improvements to operations, they reduced overhead, maximized output and brought a wealth of knowledge that would have taken us years and cost us dearly.”
