Testimonials
"I look back with admiration on your assistance with our board retreat. Your work beforehand surfaced the issues impeding our growth; your skill conducting our review of alternative futures allowed this not-for-profit governing body to engage in a highly emotional change process and proceed with its metamorphosis to a for-profit insurer without sacrificing its fundamental values or core commitment to its oral health mission."
Robert E. Hunter DDS, CEO and President, Delta Dental Plans of Massachusetts
"The GovernBest assistance to our company during the transition, through the review of our strategy and into our reorganization was invaluable; your help to me as a first-time president...priceless."
CEO, privately held medical manufacturer
"Governbest de-mystifies strategy and business innovation with frameworks that ensure fact-based development of both people and products. Mike Kipp is practical, yet entertaining and inspiring...the kind of guidance that leads a board to the right mix of compliance and value-creation."
Lead director, publicly traded retail chain
"Governbest has played a major part in the doubling of this business over the last several years. The counsel on strategy, the work with our district managers and the advice to me as CEO has been outstanding."
President, major franchisee of International food services company
"We've been in the "feast or famine" cycle for so long that I'm convinced we never would have seen the alternatives...and restructured for them...without GovernBest's highly inventive way of leading us through our situation and prospects for the future."
L. James Newman, Jr., CEO, Birdair Corporation
"My thanks for your highly engaging session with our board exploring different approaches to strategy; challenging and provocative, but like a conversation in our living room"
Danny Klinefelter, Association of Agricultural Executives
"Your business perspective, personal insights and positive spirit have remained with me..."
CEO, Chemicals Company and executive coaching client
