“We engaged The Skills Connection to assist us in preparing, and planning activities around analyst review submissions, as well as equipping our organization with a different mindset to ‘think like the analysts’ and not thinking we know it all.
The Skills Connection listens, engages, and makes recommendations professionally and are a pleasure to deal with. They clearly have experience in the field and know the right way of approaching and engaging with analysts. The Skills Connection ‘tell it like it is’ and are firm, honest, yet fair. Often tunnel vision means you cannot get out of the ’we’ve always done it this way’ mindset, but the collaborative approach they follow means that step by step, the doubters start to buy in. They provide a clear organizational change capability.
For the Magic Quadrant (MQ), they brought together the response team and made it more coherent, as well as enforcing the fact that ‘doing it the same way’ would not cut it if the organization was to move up in the rankings. The biggest value that has been realised is by assisting us in moving up to a higher quadrant in our industry MQ."
