He was an excellent facilitator and engaged the entire team in modifying the process by creating an environment where everyone was comfortable participating. The internal customer was highly satisfied." Dr. Kevin Munson Director/Team Leader, Learning and Development Pfizer Global Manufacturing "Peter Dams is a true Performance Consultant.  He has the outstanding ability to focus on what the overall goals are, and how to align those goals to the organization. We were working within a very short timeframe so he quickly connected to what our needs were, and offered options and solutions in addressing those needs.  We had a program that was ad hoc at best; and through some quick analysis, Peter was able to take what we had, fine tune it, and present it to our team in a very thorough, comprehensive, and professional manner. Thank you, Peter!" Doris J. Miller Director Organizational Development MPI Research "The City of Portage visioning project was an enormous undertaking.  We wanted an inclusive approach with over a hundred citizens.  We had to be respectful of their time so the process had to be well organized and efficient. Dr. Dams delivered a product that exceeded our expectations. He worked well with our City Administration and project steering committee. He is a true professional in every sense." Peter J. Strazdas Mayor City of Portage "Dr. Dams was extremely helpful in guiding the process for Advocacy Services for Kids, and I received praise on his behalf from every staff member and board member involved in the process.  Dr. Dams was professional, insightful, clever, and efficient.  He kept people on track, ensuring a timely product, and provided a path toward clarity that I believe we would not have achieved without him. I wholeheartedly recommend Dams & Associates, Inc. to other organizations undergoing change.  It is sometimes difficult to see the path to take when you are involved in the process.  Having someone from outside provide steady guidance from experience can prevent you from running down dead-ends and going in circles.  Peter Dams did this for us at A.S.K.” Sandy Roethler Executive Director Advocacy Services for Kids "Peter Dams was a phenomenal resource to the Information Sharing and Integration Committee (ISIC) of the Criminal Justice Collaborative Council.  Peter had prior experience with a similar project and we brought him in to guide and facilitate the Systems Integration effort in the Public Safety and Justice arena.  Peter guided the committee to create its Integration Action plan. He also created a resource guide which has been very helpful to the technology team in moving forward with the project.  Peter’s meetings always had the highest attendance. His knowledge and experience were of tremendous value to us.  We will definitely recruit Peter’s consulting services again." Uma Harithsa Manager, Applied Technology Washtenaw County “From our very first conversation Dr. Dams was focused on making the strategic planning process useful, and wanted to ensure that the end product was something that the Poverty Reduction Initiative would use and would not sit on a shelf.  Throughout the process, Dr. Dams demonstrated great skill in facilitation and listening to our Steering Committee members.  He was able to help Steering Committee members transfer complex and sometimes abstract information into a tangible plan.  As a result of working with Dr. Dams, our organization has gone through a restructuring process and we have become more focused in our shared vision.  Our strategic plan truly guides all aspects of our work.” Kimberly Crider Director Poverty Reduction Initiative “Through his keen understanding of organizational systems and his interpersonal skills, Dr. Dams earned the professional respect and personal appreciation of both my office colleagues and myself.  Peter is an excellent communicator who has a remarkable ability to take a complicated subject matter and distill it to an understandable and useable form.” Jeffrey R. Fink Prosecuting Attorney Kalamazoo County “It is always a pleasure to work with you.  Your professional probing, but evenhanded approach is very effective.” Hon. J. Richardson Johnson Chief Circuit Judge Chair, Community Corrections Advisory Board "I was very pleased with the input and involvement of the group, especially late on Friday after a long day and with a nice day waiting outside. It is a great testament to your skills as a facilitator to keep them all involved with those competing factors." Doug Slade Administrator Ninth Judicial Circuit Court	“Thank you Peter!! You helped us to do something that we have been struggling with for over two years!!!! ” Margo Rinehart Office Manager Kalamazoo County Office of the Prosecuting Attorney
