He has a great ability to take complicated issues and condense them so that the goals and vision of an organization are clearly delineated. Mr. Maher has a very clear perception of how organizations work and his perception would be invaluable to any organization trying to clarify the way they operate. Within a few months we gained additional organizational benefits when we used his services to observe and recommend workforce realignment strategies."</div> <bR> <div> <B>HR Director of a Premiere Graduate University:</b> "John Maher consulting played an instrumental role in helping me to reshape the image and function of the Human Resources department.

After careful consideration, the plan was approved unanimously with no modifications. I was most impressed with the level of detail they put together for us and the consortium's president to use over the next several years. This operational plan will serve us well in repositioning the consortium for the 21st century."</div> <bR> <div> <B>Dean of West-Coast Proprietary Undergraduate School:</b> "I can attest using 2020 Vision International's strategic planning model and how it proactively links school and department actions to our budget. It tracks institutional outcomes as a means of improving quality. Now that we have this system, we plan to improve our formal integration by learning how to create data-based links."</div> <bR> <div> <B>Administrative Dean of a Graduate School:</b> "2020 Vision International's use of Excel spreadsheets to build an integrated, operational school action plan revolutionized our accreditation process. I was able to visually see what it was that I needed to do today, next month and next year. It helped me to see where the holes were in my own department and also gave me a consistent pattern in which to follow. Visiting accreditation members have taken these strategic planning and institutional effectiveness models to use and promote at other educational institutions they visit." </div> <div>  <embed src="HTMLobj-552/cheers.mid" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">  </div> <div> <B> <A NAME="some_of_our_clients"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></b><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Who Are Some Of Our Clients - Past and Present?</b></FONT></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">PRIMETECH Imaging Inc.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Old Dominion University</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Regent University</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">MEDAL Inc.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Dynamic Management Systems Inc.,</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Resource Consultants Inc.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Fitting Out Supply Support Assistance Center (FOSSAC)</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Virginia Tidewater Consortium for Higher Education</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">The Lemon Patrol</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">My Valet Dry Cleaners - <A HREF="http://myvaletdrycleaners.tripod.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://myvaletdrycleaners.tripod.com"><U>http://myvaletdrycleaners.tripod.com</U></A></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">The DUP SHOP Inc.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Colley Avenue Copies and Graphics</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Rutherford Controls Inc.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">CXI Technology</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">SmartWeb Solutions</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">RT Consulting & Training</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Affordable Gowns & Veils</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">A Mother's Touch Childcare</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.gif" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">African American Collectibles</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
