"did a great job to develop a mission critical process that enabled us to scale" Dave did a great job as a consultant for Decisiv to define, develop, and document a mission critical process that enabled us to more efficiently scale and grow the business. He applied strong communication, prioritization, and project management skills to quickly learn about our business, provide a preliminary process proposal, and lead teams from all levels of several functional areas across disparate locations to collaboratively and constructively critique, revise, evolve, and refine that process into a valuable reusable asset for everyone involved. Dave also applied his extensive experience with strategic partners to identify the need for and select a third party who bolstered and accelerated our capability to apply key steps of the process moving forward. I highly recommend Fast Forward Consulting, LLC for your process, project, and business management needs. Dick Hyatt - CEO and President
