We used VERTESS’ consultation services in completing divestiture and sale to a major national company. The process went very smoothly and their guidance was invaluable.

VERTESS assisted us through several complex meetings during which we laid out our future growth and diversification strategy. We were so impressed with VERTESS' strong, direct yet friendly style that we asked them back as we contemplated sharing resources with a sister company. By the end of another series of facilitated meetings we concluded that we should merge the two companies entirely. VERTESS helped us through the difficult process of planning the implementation and did it in a very efficient manner. VERTESS is unique in the world of consultants. They not only bring more real world experience than most, they also have real insight into human behavior and their calm yet direct style makes things happen.

VERTESS is that rare business leader with the ability to see problems in multiple dimensions and craft solutions that harness innovation and leverage human talent. In collaborating with them on multiple projects I found VERTESS to be a true strategic visionary, with a gift for communicating goals in ways that empower every individual in the organization. Their constant focus on creating value makes them always open to new ideas and never afraid to embrace change. Small wonder other business executives frequently seek their guidance on ways to energize their companies and navigate challenges. I feel fortunate to have worked with VERTESS and to have witnessed first hand their formidable talent for organizational leadership.

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' professional acumen is without question, and their vita suggests a shrewd and thoughtful approach to a company’s management, development, and supervision. Decades of experience—coupled with a genuine humanistic approach to business, employees, and clients—made VERTESS the perfect fit to assist in our retooling of current practices. They are sensitive to diverse management styles and personalities, and attempt to guide those they consult using an introspective approach. Both my partner and I use VERTESS' guidance as a personal roadmap for consideration as we decide approaches that best suit our respective styles. SEEK Arizona has gained much in our few months of working with VERTESS as they quickly and effectively targeted areas to improve upon and provided a framework in which to do so. We look forward to maintaining a professional and personal relationship with VERTESS, and would not hesitate to utilize their services as future needs arise. In addition, I enthusiastically recommend VERTESS to any individuals or companies needing an experienced, active consultant to analyze current needs and future opportunities for growth.
