in a variety of settings and two very different companies within a large health system. In each case, we were able to achieve dramatic improvements with measurable positive results.  As the senior leader for each company, I believe I have gained immeasurably in my knowledge of change management, organizational dynamics, community building, and personal leadership skills through the relationship and work with Edward and his team. Like many leaders today, we did not possess the understanding and techniques to drive the rapid changes required for a successful turnaround effort in these organizations. I cannot say enough about the integrity he brings to his work in addition to the “technical” expertise.  I believe our results say the rest.

Edward Groody had been preselected by management to help facilitate a major financial and cultural turnaround effort.

at the start of a very challenging phase of my own career. Since that fortuitous meeting, Ed has been a source of guidance and counsel in a number of different areas including executive coaching, training, culture & community building, process mapping and restructuring initiatives. There are good consultants out there, but what sets Ed apart is his personal character. In addition to being a subject matter expert who is always up to speed on cutting edge methodologies, Ed brings an intuitive and spiritual wisdom to his work. This wisdom, coupled with his profound insights and great personal strength, make him stand out from the crowd.

The strong work that Edward has done with my clients has resulted in not only great business results, but also in deeper client relationships.

We recognize that a significant part of a successful Lean transformation has to do with employee empowerment, engagement and high levels of trust at all levels of the organization. Edward has been particularly helpful in all of these areas. He is highly skilled, has a non-confrontational approach that gets results, and he isn’t afraid to take on the difficult issues. I wholeheartedly recommend him to other companies.
