“I don’t use consultants, I use S A Partners. In my first contacts with Prof. Peter Hines and Chris Butterworth at S A Partners, I became convinced that the holistic approach they had developed was the concept I had sought.

“As a single comment I would buy this again for any organization embarking upon a strategic change direction. This is the first program I have been in 18 years that actually adds real value.
