What they say about Verne

‘Since Verne’s last visit to Perth I have purchased a copy of Rockefeller Habits for all my staff and we are implementing many of the management strategies. Even though we are a small company, our rapid growth rate means that communication between departments is not always as good as it should be. Communication of the company vision from management to all staff is also an issue. Using Verne’s strategies has improved the transparency within our organization and helped everybody align to the same goals’.

‘I went to see Verne Harnish at work and it has reinforced my commitment to the Rockefeller Habits Business Model. I must thank you and WA Business News, for highlighting the Rockefeller Habits to me and for getting behind and supporting the model and bringing it to Western Australia.

We have been rolling out the Habits Business Model within my maintenance management group and the value that it is providing to us has been excellent, it has the company vibrantly buzzing.

I believe that any companies that attend will take away with them a greater awareness that will make them not just locally competitive but globally aware and competitive. Well Done.’

Southwest Airlines has been delivering “low fares” from the very beginning. McDonalds has gone back to “speed.”

What is the promise you’re making to your customers that both really matters to them and makes you different from your competitors?
