“Working with Roundtable Consulting has meant that we now
have a clear strategy for the Asia Pacific business of where we
are headed and how we will get there. My leadership team is
extremely committed to this journey, our employees are engaged
and the process has helped to bring about a significant shift in
culture and performance.
When I came on board to head the region nearly 18 months ago, the business
was struggling to establish itself.Working with Jennifer we devised a new vision
and established growth targets. One of our key challenging ambitions is to
become‘the most sought after and desirable place to work in Informatica.’From
where we were I could see that this would be a real test of whether we could
achieve significant transformation. I can now see this clearly beginning to occur
as employees in other regions proactively seek us out for the first time. Our
business has grown dramatically despite the global economic conditions.
Without Jennifer/Roundtable I still would have ensured we developed and
documented a strategy to succeed. However I believe it would have taken us
much longer to get there, likely been less comprehensive and probably cost more
in lost time and wasted effort.The tenacity and guidance of Jennifer/Roundtable
kept us on track through the process and past the low inertia points. In a short
timeframe we have achieved a widely adopted and comprehensive strategy that
has unified the team.
If you want to accelerate the growth and performance of your business,I can
strongly recommend you speak to Jennifer and Roundtable Consulting Partners.”
GRAHAM SOWDEN,SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT SALES, ASIA PACIFIC , INFORMATICA
“Jennifer facilitated our 2008/09 strategic planning sessions.
This included a 5 hour Board planning session that produced a
high level of engagement from all participants and intense debate.
To round off the session,Jennifer skillfully assembled a strategy map
in“real”time that pulled together the key issues that had emerged
during the session.
This strategy map received overwhelming support from the Board members as
a foundation for our strategic roadmap for the next 3-5 years. I wouldn’t hesitate
to use Jennifer in future for a similar high level strategic planning exercise.”
JOHN MCLEAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, JACKSON MCDONALD

to you.What you have done for our business,with our business,
and equally for Dave and I personally,over the past 4 years,is
beyond measure.You have helped turn One For All in to the
most professional creative services business in Australia.Your
enthusiasm,your professionalism,and your willingness to
challenge us have helped us leap ahead to a point we never
thought we could be.
But what impresses me most of all is your knowledge of our business.You
have made it your business to delve into ours, to challenge us ( even when
we might not like hearing it ) to how we all think and work and play, it has
been an inspiration to me personally and has made me realise this is what
we have to do with our clients to be a successful operation.

“Jennifer Smokevitch proved
to be one of the outstanding
presenters for APSMA
Melbourne’s seminar series
over the past 12 months. I spent
considerable time working
with Jennifer on our workshop’s
planning and content,and
was very impressed with her
focus on‘getting it right’for our
members across all aspects of
the event.
On the day, she provided some
excellent and very relevant content,
based on the detailed survey she had
completed for APSMA in the preceding
months. She also posed some thought
provoking questions to the audience
and added an energy and enthusiasm
to the event that we greatly
appreciated. I’d have no hesitation
in recommending her for similar
events commissioned by similar
bodies – the result will add real value
to your operations and your member’s
perceptions of their individual success
in their chosen industry.”

with Jennifer as I know my clients are
in very safe hands.”

solver who really energized me to
tackle even the hardest problems.”
