“We thought if we went through this process we would get a common understanding and buy-in into our business philosophy.  And it definitely achieved that objective.  Obviously, what’s affected us more than anything else is the fact that it systematically extracts the thinking and ideas from the executives’ heads, rather than imposing the consultant’s thinking. I think it almost forces it out of their heads.  That obviously leads to the strategy being owned by the company, rather than by the consultant.  I’m not just repeating what DPI says, it actually works that way.”

“One of the most valuable contributions to our thinking from the DPI process is that it provides a filter for the opportunities that you’re swamped with. You can easily choose the ones that fit strategically so you don’t go chasing hares across the plains.”

Laurie Dippenaar, CEO, FirstRand Limited

Aadil Kalla CEO Nativa

Alert Engine Parts and its associates have grown to be a powerhouse of quality parts and professional service in the Southern African region and this is in no small way attributable to our relationships with world-class service providers like yours for which I am extremely grateful. Partnerships like this don’t happen perchance. When we started out with DPI in 2003, we embarked on what was then virgin territory with what we felt was a credible strategic planning facilitator.

It would be remiss of me not to mention the professionalism shown by you in particular as well as the rest of your team that went a long way to dispelling uncertainty by some team members.

Together we ensured that Alerts journey was well founded and our start along a new strategic path 15 years ago was well structured, lucid and manageable. Those initial steps ensured that we were able to not only execute the humble strategy we started with but were able to perpetuate that every 3 years to the extent that Alert has been able to grow into the first class business we know today, well versed in it’s field, of leviathan proportions and stands a head taller than any of its competitors for over 12 of those 15 years.

You have been a part of that success. I truly believe that if we hadn’t chosen DPI, we would not have achieved the strategic execution that we have and would probably not been where we are today.

We have used the services of Decision Processes International in the FloorworX organisation.  We first used their Strategic Thinking Process ^SM in 2002 when our organisation needed to identify opportunities for growth.   We have again used the services of DPI to assist with our new strategy and its execution.

The DPI Strategic Thinking Process ^SM is a proven process, delivered through expert facilitation that gives structure, discipline, rigor & focus to strategic thinking discussions.

I found that trying to be the participant and referee in the debates was difficult and the process allowed me to see the strategy and its ingredients develop and the buy in of my management team grow during the session.

I therefore recommend Decision Processes International and the use of their services to assist your organisation.

Donald Platt CEO – FloorworX

We have used the services of Decision Processes International in Swartland Investments business since 2002.  We first used their Strategic Thinking Process ^SM in 2002 when Swartland had become large enough that it was no longer possible for one man to manage every aspect of the business, every day.  The management group, though operationally skilled, tended to focus decision-making on short term issues, simply because they did not have an understanding of the long term strategy. 

We have used the DPI Strategic Thinking Process ^SM a number of times over the years because the standard consulting approaches have shown us that the strategy doesn’t work.  Do not expect DPI to build your strategy, they help you to build it yourselves and you have to implement and execute and it yourselves, DPI only holds the mirror for you to keep yourselves honest.

If you don’t use information from within to build it you will not get buy-in from within the company needed to implement the agreed strategy.  The DPI process works in such a way that it pulls the information out of the heads of your people, who know the business best.

We have once again used the services of DPI in 2018 to assist with our new strategy and its execution.  I therefore recommend Decision Processes International and the use of their services to assist your organization
