Chris Bart has become somewhat of legend at Diebold Canada!He is awesome. He provided more information in a half day than most speakers give in two days - and he keeps you spellbound the entire time. More importantly, his talk formed the genesis for some major corporate reform initiatives...His concepts have now become an integral part of our corporate culture...We reaped immediate benefits through more focussed organizational effort and better strategy implementation. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his teachings to other organizations. Bart is one 'guru' who has really made a difference. Thank you Chris!
