to date with evolving cultural trends.

“In January of this year, my team embarked upon the challenge of building the foundation for the transformation to a world class Global Sourcing & Procurement organization. This process included defining roadmaps for annual objectives, defining our mission, and assimilating many new members into the team to include, myself, the leader. It was a pleasure working with Sheri Long from Amigos at Work to facilitate this very important process for my team. The facilitation was a great help, especially during the team-building exercises. I highly recommend this process to any organization that is embracing change and defining an effective execution plan, and the resources provided by Amigos at Work enabled a streamlined, synergistic event.”
