Bernard Marr is an amazing enterprise performance consultant, trainer and facilitator. He delivered a three-day in-house workshop on 'Becoming an Intelligent Company' for 70 of our most senior staff. His presentation and facilitation skills are second to none. The work helped us gain clarity on strategic objectives, information and data needs, KPIs, Analytics and Big Data needs as well as dashboards and performance reporting. I have a short attention span and it was the second time for me to participate in a three-day workshop led by Bernard - impressively he kept my full attention for the entire workshop! I would recommend Bernard for all Strategy and Performance consultancy and training work. - Gladys
