"The best strategic planning coalesces deep, unbiased organizational self-awareness of the present and creates
a comprehensive vision of the potential of the future. When everything falls into place, leadership has its organizational
assessment and road map, while the staff sees the soundness of the path before them. As the former Acting Director
for the Smithsonian Science Education Center, I watched Jim and his staff expertly guide yet deftly adapt their
consultation as they assessed our organization at a critical juncture as he helped it from beginning to end discover
its potential and path. In every meeting with Jim, he masterfully guided and reinforced our team as we made our own
plan. After reflecting upon the opportunity to work with Jim for over a year, I am both amazed and impressed at his
genius and subtly in helping us own our potential."
