Testimonials

"Expectations exceeded"

"Worked with Staff and Unions"

"Worked with Staff and Unions"

 “It is not often that a General Manager can enter into an agreement for process improvement and have their expectations not only met but exceeded. The exceed in this project is evidenced by the total rejuvenation of staff to the point where they believe that the improvement is totally due to their own efforts. Staff who think they have done extremely well and feel totally empowered to task their management to ensure they can continue to improve”. 


 -   Wayne,  General Manager, Manukau Council
