What our Clients Had to Say:
Doug took me through a strategic planning process for my company that really helped me grab a vision for where I could take it, and what it might look like when I get there. I'd recommend Doug to anyone who wants to take their business to the next level. Plus he's a blast to work with!
Paradigm Associates LLC, headed by Doug Brown, is a group of talented, experienced, and inspiring people. This is the "go to" place if you need a fresh perspective on a non-trivial issue.
Doug challenges me to leave the daily grind of business operations behind for an hour or two in favor of thinking creatively and strategically. He has helped me clear hurdles that were in the way of my success and is enabling a more focused intent on our company's strategic goals. If you are having trouble realizing your aspirations - Doug is the guy to assist.
Doug Brown from Paradigm Associates has been a great partner as we move through our Leadership Training Series and the Strategic Planning process. Highly recommend!
Recently I had the pleasure to work with Doug as a part of our Strategic Planning Process. Our organization has always used strategic planning to lead our efforts for obvious reasons. This is to say that I have worked with a number of people to facilitate our strategic planning. Our process is unique in that it engages all segments of our community that is Public, Private and of course our customer. Doug was no less that excellent in being about to adjust to the various groups, getting to the meat of where we were as an organization and assisting us in flushing out a new and freshly competitive direction. I have worked as CEO of non-profits and as a part of the public sector for more than 20 years and during this time I have met few people with Dougs depth of knowledge in his area of expertise. Without hesitation I recommend Doug and would be more than willing to work with him and his team again.
Doug and I worked together on an extremely fast course project that required five different individuals to come together from different geographic locations. His expertise as the leader in this team was very evident. He proactively listened and demonstrated the ability to be flexible when ideas came forth that were not his, but ultimately made the final result even better. Since that time,I have come to know him as a friend and a professional colleague. I believe he brings a lot to the table for any organization or individual seeking to improve their results.
I have had the pleasure of working with Doug over the past 8-months on a Leadership Development/Strategic Planning program for my executive staff. Throughout this process I have found Doug to be an amazing resource for both myself and team. His vast knowledge and practical experience provided real world examples my staff could relate to and begin practicing immediately. If you are looking for a down-to-earth, practical subject matter expert for your leadership team or business I highly recommend you reach out to Doug.
As Chairman of the Board, I recently had the opportunity to work with Doug on a strategic planning effort for the New York Society of Association Executives. Doug was terrific in working with Association leaders. His high touch, vast knowledge of planning skills, and focus on critical success factors was invaluable. NYSAE now has a new framework for success and I would highly recommend Doug for similar assignments. By the way, he is not a bad singer either! Thanks Doug!
ARC of Rockland spent several months interviewing consulting firms to assist our nonprofit in undergoing a strategic planning assessment and visioning process. After an extended search and interview process, Doug Brown of Paradigm Associates was our unanimous selection. Doug has conducted stakeholder interviews/surveys and has led multiple strategic retreats. Doug has worked hard to understand our organization’s culture in a very short period of time and has helped to tease out our challenges and opportunities. We have identified five strategic elements that we will focus on over the next 2-3 years and we are in the process of developing action plans to accomplish these goals.
Doug’s calm approach, inquisitive nature and extensive planning expertise is exactly what we needed to develop a plan for our future. Doug will continue to work with us in advancing our strategic plan and will be assisting our board of directors in further improving organizational governance.
I would recommend Doug Brown without hesitation – he is a true professional!
