VERTESS took our passion to a final product. We had the heart, but we struggled to make our ideals feel real. With VERTESS’ coaching, we experienced a significant turnround in service quality and financial results.

The VERTESS team advised me with a very professional, long-term perspective as we negotiated the labyrinth of due diligence and some complexities in the regulatory process. The end result was so positive that I enlisted their services in pursuing the acquisition of another company. I have no hesitation in referring VERTESS to other perspective buyers or sellers.

We originally sought VERTESS' assistance to help us make some critical decisions for our future. We had been considering many options and we needed a clearer direction as we expanded our nonprofit operations. VERTESS' consultation was very effective in sharpening our strategic focus and developing a clear map for our future growth, including stronger internal alignment. VERTESS' insights were invaluable for our entire senior team and I strongly recommend them for consultation with organizations like ours.

We sought out VERTESS for consultation based on their demonstrated expertise and knowledge of significant changes in the Iowa healthcare marketplace. From the beginning, VERTESS brought thoughtful guidance to the creation of our development and growth plan and involved all key staff and Board members in the process. As a result, we have a united team with a compelling vision for what lies ahead. We will consider VERTESS part of our Genesis team going forward.

VERTESS acted as a trouble shooter and temporary manager with extreme confidence and vision. They came into an organization that needed to rebuild and redesign for success. VERTESS laid a business foundation that has allowed me, as the new Director, to move swiftly into a trajectory of success. They are very skilled at making difficult decisions without the emotional over lay that can get in the way of positive solutions. VERTESS inspired a sense of confidence and self-reliance from all constituents that were involved in the program. They continued as a coach and consultant to keep us on target and moving forward. I highly recommend them as an executive coach and organizational consultant. They cut through weeds and let a 1000 flowers bloom.

VERTESS encouraged the development of our management team, helping us to improve morale, customer service, and bottom-line results at a major transition point for our company. As an owner, I particularly appreciated their collaborative approach to planning and implementation. Based on our results, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other executives and owners seeking qualified assistance.

We engaged VERTESS to facilitate a re-visioning session as the ANCOR Foundation struggled to set a new direction for our future. VERTESS successfully helped us to sift through some great ideas, identify several obtainable goals and then move forward with the implementation of a very creative plan of action. I highly recommend VERTESS for their expertise in this area.
