“SKL Associates was brought in to assess and improve the HR Department and serve as an Executive Coach to me, the Interim President. While doing a tremendous job in this area, I asked SKL to take the lead in demonstrating the business-case for our organization to retain a $25million dollar contract with the DOD which was in jeopardy. They took the bull-by-the-horn and developed an effective strategy, identified immediate solutions, and orchestrated the exact protocol and sequence needed to retain us as the primary contractor on the project and extend our services beyond the current year to a multi-year project. ”
“Mike joined the NCI during a critical time of transition and was able to immediately contribute as the company changed its structure, business model and regained financial balance. His broad background, leadership style, practical solutions, and sound management advice had a major impact on the smooth transitions throughout the organization (Vienna, VA; Dallas, TX; NYC; and Burbank, CA). As he transformed Human Resources, his department transformed the organization — improved morale, increased productivity and overall performance.”
“I have retained the services of SKL Associates on several occasions, as an Executive at United Way Worldwide, Executive Director at the Washington Tennis Education Foundation and Executive Director of the African American Nonprofit Network. They have never failed to clearly define the problems and provide clear recommendations with insightful advice regarding current and future challenges and opportunities. Their diverse background, practical approach and creative problem-solving skills will get you on the right path to success.”
