Paul Niven pulls together amazing strengths. All at once he is sage-like, laser-like focused on results, a great listener, forward-looking, confident, warm and an enthusiast for strengthening your organization. He gets the job done and delivers on what he has promised " and more. He combines zeal with common-sense and knows how to move groups past a web of complexity to profound simplicity. I admire his energy, how he stays positive and earns trust. I've called him our "balanced scorecard sherpa." He is a guide who knows how to reach the summit of what can look impossible.

The Port engaged Paul to help further integrate our Balanced Scorecard into the way we do business, and to train staff in the development of department Balanced Scorecards. His excellent facilitation skills and consulting work with the Port have helped our departments become truly aligned with the organization's strategic vision. Paul willingly shares his extensive knowledge and is easy to work with. The tools he gave us are practical and effective, and will continue to be used at the Port in the future.

Paul Niven brings the Balanced Scorecard to life with clear communication and practical applications. His books have been a primary resource for dozens of rural hospitals across the country, using balanced scorecard technology to improve quality and drive performance. He has also demonstrated a profound ability to make his lectures and workshops relevant for diverse audiences.

Paul Niven's work in helping organizations implement the Balanced Scorecard is superb. He has worked with us on creating and delivering very informative, successful seminars for our clients in Moscow and St Petersburg, Russia, and for our classes of entrepreneurs from the Middle East and North Africa. He is always concise, yet informative; focused, yet broad-based enough for professionals from many industries to "get it." We really appreciate working with Paul!

Paul has been instrumental in assisting us with our implementation of the Balanced Scorecard. He has made the process manageable, useful, and pertinent to what we do. His workshops are instructive but also enjoyable. He really understands the BSC model and can assist ANY organization in its effective application.

We asked Paul Niven to serve on our Cost Management Editorial Advisory Board for several reasons, perhaps most importantly because he is an accessible, open-minded, and independent Balanced Scorecard expert. Paul sees performance management risks and opportunities more comprehensively and fairly than anyone we know.

Paul Niven has actively engaged NB Power's Executive Team with his industry experience, in-depth knowledge of the Balanced Scorecard methodology and his unique and effective facilitation style. After a few false starts with the Balanced Scorecard, I can confidently say that the BSC is now becoming ingrained in the NB Power culture. Paul has had a definite positive influence in establishing the Balanced Scorecard as the management tool of choice at NB Power.

When we adopted the Balanced Scorecard approach Paul was knowledgeable, informative and wise. His experience contributed greatly to a highly successful implementation.

Paul effectively introduced the Balanced Scorecard to all levels of management and staff in our organization resulting in a high level of acceptance. This has been critical to our efforts to successfully integrate the process into our ongoing operations. Paul took what is traditionally a tool for private businesses and corporations and seamlessly transitioned the balanced scorecard method into government operations. As a result of his work, we are well on the way to a more streamlined, accountable operation increasing our ability to better serve our constituents.

Your efforts to help our management team grasp and embrace the important concepts underlying the BSC and to guide us through the sometimes difficult process of developing our version were remarkable. It is gratifying to see how our core team is now working with their staff to reinforce the concepts of the BSC. We are beginning to see this become part of our culture. Again, your approach and your ability to tune into our issues and culture made this process very effective. Thank you!

This information and energy created the buy-in from our leadership team that was critical to get them to see beyond their departmental concerns and instead focus on our organization's strategic vision. Our work with Paul resulted in a Balance Scorecard that is challenging, cohesive, easily understood, and aligned with our strategic plan.
