    Testimonials

    Vectors Group was surprisingly fast and effective in our strategy evaluation process. Their custom designed questionnaire both helped us to quantify “where we are today” and “where we want to be in the future” and helped us prioritize our strategies.

    We wanted to build on the quality of services that we currently provide, identify gaps and embrace emerging opportunities. Vectors Group’s strategic-planning process helped us evaluate where we are, identify our priorities and develop a clear plan to achieve them.

    Vectors Group and its Lead Consultant Omer Livvarcin were very helpful in facilitating the creation of a video series for OrKidstra. We very much appreciate Vector Group’s commitment to helping us tell our story and increase awareness and support for our social development through music programs.

    The Alberta Workforce Essential Skills Society contracted Omer and Mercedes at Vectors Group to walk us through a strategic planning exercise using tools designed by himself and his team specifically for the non-profit sector. Through the guided sessions, we were about to define our services, values, and impact to a greater degree. We walked away with a better understanding of the goals we want to focus on over the next three years. Omer and Mercedes were engaging and shared numerous tools that will be helpful as we take steps towards measuring our accomplishments. Thank you.

    The way Daniel (Vectors Group) has tied it all together and shown the interconnectedness of the various elements works really well in guiding the discussion. In fact, I think it’s one of the best formats I’ve ever seen in all the years I’ve been involved with Strategic Planning.
