Hello Adrian,

It's been a while since we exchanged emails (Sept.'10) but I wanted you to know that we have tried to follow your advice in most areas, and we have had some success in doing so!

I thought perhaps I would update you, at least to let you know that we were listening, and tried to improve our performance utilizing your ideas.

We thank you for pointing us in the right direction!

Best regards,

John Patterson

We have been working with Adrian and John from Plutus Consulting Group continuously since 2008. Our business had reached a point where we needed to redefine our future and create a new platform for growth. Adrian and John took us through excellent diagnostics processes, helping us redefine our priorities and strategies going forward. The unique value they delivered was to remain with STRONE and help guide us through the implementation of the required changes. Over the course of their engagement so far; Plutus Consulting Group has been providing advice, counsel, valued workshops for management and staff, and been diligent with the transition to keep us on track. We have completed an organization restructuring, recruited key management, implemented a new layer of management with their help, and gained significant market share. Adrian and John have proven time and again that they care about our success and are there for us, being flexible and available to whatever extent we required.

To date, they remain an integral part of our growth as members of our advisory board.

We would like to thank John Holland and Adrian Herschell of Plutus Consulting for their very effective presentation on the “7 Stages Roadmap to Success” at our November 25^th, 2010 meeting!  Each crisp PowerPoint slide showed the methodical progression and the critical points to consider as a business develops. Their explanation and answers to the audience’s questions clearly illustrated a proven system, tested on international scale.

The careful strategy and intelligent planning at each growth stage is the most valuable advice for managing any business, from idea to Multi-national Corporation.
