Full Testimonial...

A few words from one of our Strategic Clients – Jose Mejia, President, Supply Chain Networks, Lucent Technologies and the solutions we have provided him. The following solutions were based on, and leveraged from several models and methodologies including Groundworks, the progress/regress aptitude test.

“In my role leading Lucent’s Global Supply Chain organization, maintaining our industry leading edge requires a constant, robust, and well managed Change Management process.

Our business is forever evolving. One of the advantages that we have in that evolution over our competitors is the strategic relationship we have with Odyssey P.E.N.

Each time we face a major organizational challenge, we turn to Odyssey to help lead us through the global change effort. As we engaged in the turn around of Lucent Technologies, the Odyssey team was there and they have delivered. The Supply Chain organization would not have adapted as well to the changes in our business if it were not for the help of Odyssey. They are truly a great value to us, they have never been a consultant or an outsider and they try hard to put themselves in our shoes and to help us change behaviors and be aware of all the new possibilities. I personally could not be more excited about the help and the partnership that Odyssey has provided me in Lucent as we have helped this great company be the most successful turn around in the 21st century. Thank you Bill and team. ”

The Groundworks model has been the foundation of our work/change with Lucent and other clients. It provides an easy, ‘common’ language and reference point for progress. This helps identify critical areas to improve without having to spend a fortune digging up dirt just for the sake of digging. The Groundworks works!

Customer Testimonials

”As for the main benefits/take-aways, it’s hard to narrow it down to a few. Of course there were huge ‘Aha’s” for the group with regard to thinking outside the box and creativity. But there was also a vastly increased level of team cohesiveness. We really had an opportunity to know each other better and to have some fun together in a way that increases our commitment to work together effectively. But the biggest payoff of all was the combined feeling of having accomplished something with such an impact to people around the world. Knowing that we actually made a significant positive difference in the lives of people who so badly need it, was astonishing! Jean E.
