Testimonials

“If you have spent any notable time trying to make your organisational community stronger for tomorrow through Enterprise excellence, you probably know all to well it can be like swimming upstream. Sometimes the current seems to overpower all your efforts to progress, and then other times a burst of success seems to flow.  It is a daunting and thankless pursuit, often one can and will feel alone in the quest, questioning “is the squeeze worth the juice?”. Not only has the Enterprise academy reinforced the system side of this pursuit for me, the community element has been a wonderful missing part of the journey. I have found others who are just as committed to pursue excellence and in them found inspiration and the knowledge we are all going through this together. With the world-class experts sharing their time and wisdom, the swim is much more enjoyable and seems more achievable. Thanks to Brad and Em for driving this most valuable initiative.”
