“Our former strategy was just 'to sell.' Six Disciplines has changed all that – we are now looking at our business through a 10 year window, but with a focused quarterly strategy to get us there.  We are more organized and are setting common goals that align with our manufacturers’ goals.  We expect that getting on the same page with each other and our manufacturers will tremendously improve our business.  And this is not just a good plan written down and put into a desk drawer.  With Six Disciplines, it’s all about execution.” - Scott Boley, Partner, JPR Systems

"Ohmart/VEGA has fully embraced the Six Disciplines program, and we successfully navigated the 2009 Great Recession by utilizing Six Disciplines.  Quite simply, the process aligned our company and focused our energy on executing a defined set of objectives in a time of crisis.  More specifically the software tools, planning process and frequent review of the “plan” combined with outstanding Six Disciplines coaching created an environment of accountability that has raised our performance and focus to a whole new level.  

Based on our success, we have endorsed the Six Disciplines process within our Sales Channel.  During a recent roundtable discussion, we learned the majority of our independent Manufacturers Representative owners companies do not have a vision much less a process to manage growth, succession planning and other strategic fundamentals critical to their livelihood.  Therefore, we began promoting the use of Six Disciplines as our success hinges on their success." - Ron Hegyesi, President/CEO, VEGA Americas, Inc.    

 

"Since using Six Disciplines, we've seen significant increases in our numbers. Our gross margin has increased incrementally, and our profits have increased by more than 300%.  Choosing Six Discipline was the best business decision I have ever made!" - Paul Kramer, President

 "Since the year 2000, Trufast has grown sales 15% annually. This rapid growth has brought many challenges to the organization. We are practitioners of the Six Disciplines program to help management focus the organization on the opportunities that truly add value. Not only has it improved our strategic planning process, more importantly, it provides the tools to allow us to execute the plan. This is what separates the Six Disciplines program from all the other strategic planning processes I have been involved in."

“Six Disciplines brought us a process to accomplish what we think is important. It’s not somebody walking in and saying, ‘You know what? I’m the smartest guy in the room. Get out of the way. I’ll tell you what’s wrong with your business.’ Six Disciplines comes in and says, ‘You guys figure out what’s important, we’ll help you accomplish it.’ To me that’s the difference in the Six Disciplines approach.” - Brian Roth, President & CEO

 

"In a couple of days, Six Disciplines helped us develop a strategic plan, which by ourselves we failed to accomplish with several months of effort. The process and facilitation gave us the structure to form our strategic direction. Six Disciplines has brought our team into alignment and has given us a method to stay on track.  Now we have a focused approach and plan that will allow us to truly work toward our goals." - David Nussear, President
 

“After a lengthy period of research into a number of Goal Deployment programs, we chose Six Disciplines for 3 critical reasons:

1. The ongoing, day to day coaching. This is invaluable to keep the company targeted on the work that moves the needle.
2. The system is project and task based, and reminds every manager, every day, that they have projects and initiatives that demands attention.
3. 6D is easy to use, and focuses on the tasks at hand, not technical knowledge of the software package.
