GCG conducted its signature workshop Personal Branding for Smarties. The highly interactive session focused on specific ways to develop a dynamic personal brand. By utilizing key branding strategies used by some of the most profitable and recognized names in the world, we challenged individuals to develop their own brand by cultivating strengths to propel themselves, and their medical practices to the next level.

Participants are equipped with the skills to understand the value of their personal brand and how to translate those qualities into more lucrative practices.

Ann provided our participants with a fresh, energetic and engaging workshop targeted specifically at leadership advocacy. Her professionalism and expertise were inspirational to all involved and we received extremely positive feedback concerning the event. We won't hesitate to call on Gallagher Consulting Group again.

Gallagher Consulting Group has spearheaded research and planning for the Foundation since 2002, directing all aspects of a multi-year strategic planning initiative that included research and customized planning retreats for the board of directors and staff. One of the ideas as a result of the planning was the Wendy's Wonderful Kids program. Wendy's Wonderful Kids is a signature program aimed at raising funds for the Foundation. The Foundation then makes grants to local adoption organizations to hire recruiters targeted exclusively on placing foster care children with adoptive families.

The Wendy's Wonderful Kids program has grown from its infancy to placing recruiters in all 50 states and Canada in two years. The Dave Thomas Foundation was able to use the plan and strategic direction provided by GCG to meet their goal of placing more than thousands of foster children in permanent homes.

Gallagher Consulting Group provided the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption the catalyst to move to the next level of organizational excellence through an intensive and creative strategic planning process. By expertly involving all key stakeholders, providing dynamic executive counsel and quickly understanding all the levels and nuances of the organization's activity, Ann Gallagher gracefully, but aggressively, managed a critical planning process for the Foundation. I highly recommend the Gallagher Consulting Group to any organization wanting to strive for results.

GCG developed and implemented research designed to analyze the cause of the shift. The study focused on key respondents including Central Ohio employers, Franklin University MBA students and graduates, and prospective MBA students. Insights learned through the process helped Franklin adapt to the changing demands of both its students and the companies hiring them.

Franklin University's MBA program was adjusted to meet the needs of the community, leading to increased enrollment and increase in overall awareness of Franklin.

GCG worked with members of the executive team to develop strong personal brands. GCG created customized executive positioning plans for each leader. These individual PR blueprints included strategies and tactics to showcase the knowledge and expertise of the leaders through targeted appearances, speaking engagements, networking and detailed media efforts.

Grange increased overall awareness of the company and its key executive through high-profile national speaking engagements, board placements and targeted media coverage (including cover story in National Underwriter).

I can't say enough about the outstanding work Gallagher Consulting Group has done for our company. Ann Gallagher's ability to support the evolution of management professionals into strategic, forward thinking "players" is quite extraordinary. Grange has also used Gallagher to conduct critical, targeted market research, results of which have helped us grow and continue to provide quality service to our agents and policyholders.

GCG designed and conducted focus groups of Nationwide employees throughout various offices across the U.S. to gain keen insights on the overall charitable giving mission.

This custom program helped guide their philanthropic strategy and raise overall awareness of the Foundation. Nationwide continue to be recognized nationally and locally in the communities it serves as one of the most charitable companies in the United States.

GCG planned and facilitated strategic planning retreats with senior management. The primary objective was to develop the strategic direction for the company. The retreats were also forums to create business development strategies geographically and by industry.

Increased focus and profitability due to more streamlined efforts and prioritized goals.

Ann's work with our team over the past two years has been exemplary. Her strategic retreats have cemented our leadership team and given us the opportunity to focus and prioritize on creating a comprehensive vision for the future of our companies. The sessions are especially beneficial because they concentrate on the strategic items we need to address. We don't waste our time on unnecessary tasks. I would highly recommend Ann, GCG, and their services.
