CSD Testimonials

“Special thanks to CornerStone Dynamics for getting us through the last six months regarding our major process improvement project. Adriana and her team are truly gifted at what they do. We would never have been able to get things accomplished so quickly and with clarity, without you and your team. CSD brings a skill set that is unique. Their collaborative approach makes a difference as it creates the needed buy-in to ensure project success. Thank you CornerStone Dynamics.”

“Adriana and CornerStone helped our organization during a crucial time in our project to engage both our committee and other participants in this initiative.  Adriana’s skill to “speak to” and not “speak at” our attendees is a rare and welcomed trait.  I highly recommend CornerStone Dynamics for workshop development & facilitation and keynote events.”

“Very successful workshop with taking all the various inputs from the team and seeing the whole picture come together – great work.”

“Adriana has a great appreciation for all styles of adult learning combined with engaging facilitation made for a productive day.”

“Many things were accomplished in a short amount of time due to Adriana’s good control and direction throughout the presentation and workshop.”

“Adriana shared her knowledge and experiences on ‘working smarter, not harder’ at a recent PMI seminar. Her passion for enhancing project management through improving efficiency was clear and insightful. Adriana’s business strategies and techniques are logical and can be applied in ‘the real world’, regardless of industry. Her ability to focus is extremely impressive and motivating. I would highly recommend Adriana to anyone interested in getting things done the smart way, both personally and professionally.”

“We hired Adriana and her team to assist our process gap identification work as we prepared to launch a new business management software program. After our second meeting(and some important discoveries), we expanded the scope of the CSD project to include ‘lead the process gap identification’ work and to create the detail training documents needed to ensure success. Adriana and her team where extremely knowledgeable and friendly. This created a level of trust and confidence with our staff which assisted in the process mapping and training execution/support they conducted. CornerStone Dynamics involvement in the project was of immense value to the site. Their professionalism, attention to detail and genuine concern to see us succeed was amazing. They truly were our strategic partners in the project and we would hire them again without hesitation.”

“I really enjoyed your presentation on ‘Why Nothing Gets Done’. It was informative and entertaining. You have one of those voices that I could listen to all day, which is a wonderful and rare quality in a presenter.”

“Adriana really knows her stuff. As a new Project Manager, I found myself working a lot of evenings sorting through email and getting prepared for the next day. Adriana, through her one on one coaching, has shown me with good planning and prioritizing, most of the job can be done during core business hours. My organizational systems have been upgraded and I am now more confident that I am spending my time on the most important tasks during my work day and daily planning is now a breeze. This has resulted in a greater sense of organization, more time with my family, and less overall stress.”

“I found the CSD team knowledgeable, professional, and passionate around their work. They were very detailed and competent around the task that was assigned to them to perform. I would recommend their services!”

“CornerStone Dynamics has transformed organizational thinking by breaking through corporate clutter, streamlining processes and improving efficiencies all the while involving key stakeholders in the process. They enable corporate commitment upfront, which ensures smooth implementation of ideas. They are responsive to organizational needs and nothing ever falls through the cracks leading to successful outcomes.”

“I think Adriana is a fantastic Project Manager. Her ability to walk into an organization and to quickly understand their business and the team is incredible. In order for a project to be successful you need to hold each person responsible and accountable and Adriana does this in a very professional and effective manner. Her attention to detail is incredible as is her ability to be on top of every key and critical aspect of the project. Any project is successful because of its participants and its leader and time and time again Adriana demonstrated her ability to lead and to manage a very complex and lengthy project. We were thrilled to have her as part of our team for the duration of this project.”

“Thank you Adriana for running an ‘out of the box thinking’ workshop!  The meeting planning and implementation were impeccable and as a result the meeting objectives were met.”

“CornerStone delivered on their promise and tailored their presentation to our unique needs. They honoured our unique knowledge and aligned with our skill set to move forward. They were able to bridge business experiences to education.”

“Dynamic, relevant, flexible, connected and a strong ability to connect the business in a way that makes sense and is logical.”

“I was extremely impressed with the efficiency of the CSD team. The process flow charts were definitely a “wow” factor, and to assimilate that much information in such a short time speaks volumes for your team. Overall, you achieved buy-in from the staff very quickly. Overall, I am a very satisfied client. I was extremely impressed with CSD’s professionalism and obvious passion for the project. The CSD staff are very dedicated, amiable, highly observant and extremely knowledgeable.”

“This is the second project that I have been involved with where we used CornerStone Dynamics. The facilitator’s professionalism and ability to keep the plan on track always continues to impress me.”

“Adriana Girdler and CornerStone Dynamics were introduced to me and Boehringer Ingelheim Canada during a recent project that required outside resources to help manage a project team, a project timeline and the overall deliverables of an intricate assignment. Adriana’s attention to detail, consistent and thorough follow-up as well as reliable professionalism enabled us to deliver on a project that had considerable timeline challenges. Her ability to grasp our business needs, understand the overall project and facilitate the interaction between different stakeholders, both internal and external, was instrumental in delivering on our end goal. Adriana did this all with a high level of energy making our meetings run smoothly, making sure our individual deadlines were met, and ultimately delivering on the starting objective.”

“CSD was able to run a workshop with the most intimate knowledge of our departmental issues –  it was as if she was an employee as well.  Adriana was engaging and able to keep us focused and on task to produce quality output at the end of a very long workshop. EXCELLENT!”

“We chose to call on the services of CornerStone Dynamics (CSD) to help us to revitalise an otherwise stagnant 5S program. CSD brought the energy and experience to motivate and inspire change on the production floor, and our employees have been thrilled and supportive of the advances.”

“Using ‘out of the box’ methodology, CornerStone Dynamics will get the project completed while adapting the process to meet even tight timelines.”
