“I'd certainly recommend you speak with Robert before going down the Big Consultancy Group route”

“he's the ideal right hand man, a bit like Jiminy Cricket sitting on

  your shoulder reminding you of stuff that needs sorting”

 “you are good at uncovering complexity and trying to make sense of it, to

  help your colleagues understand what's really going on” ... "able to introduce order into a situation that is full of

  complexity and ambiguity"

 “your key strengths are in your attention to detail and tenacity in chasing

  through issues to find the people who can make an impact on delivering the solution”

"thank you for all your help, focus and attention over the last few years/projects - we wouldn't be where we are

  today without your expertise"

 “in truth Robert, I couldn’t have done this without your contribution!”
