Ron is a professional and very good at what he does; he brings extreme value to the table by interpreting survey results and guiding us down the correct path.

Parks and Recreation Ontario had not undertaken a strategic planning exercise in eight years. As a result, we were trying to do too many things for too many people. ABARIS Consulting helped to set the stage for planning by surveying our stakeholders, staff and Board. Knowing the landscape was the first step, drilling down to core competencies was next. ABARIS Consulting helped us to identify manageable strategic priorities and objectives and set a clear course for the future. It works. Our organization has a clear understanding of what we're all about and where we are headed.
