It was an absolute pleasure to join everyone yesterday. I attend a few of these events around the world, which are all delivered extremely well, so as a result I have very high expectations! You exceeded my expectations on every front. I really enjoyed the ambition of the event, which was superbly delivered and everyone involved in putting it together should be proud - and know they have raised the bar! The energy and passion in the room was electric and the quality of discussion and debate first-rate. Please do take that back into your business areas. I’m a big fan of ‘strategy’ but I’m a bigger fan of strategic action and I have come away with great confidence that you will deliver. I would be very happy to help in any way possible, please just ask. Thank you.

Global Chief Operating Officer, WSP

Thanks to the whole DRPG team for making our New Directions Leadership Conference 2018 so fun and successful. For the great looking set, the detailed branding (even the yellow ‘smoke’), and the assets like the table tops and Hackathon boards. For perfect technical support, delivery of the audio/visual, and for guiding with the set-up of the iPads for the sensemaking conversations. For your slick professionalism and hand-holding throughout. And for actioning all requests from various parties during the event. For running the triumphant News Day, which flushed out the collaborative talents of our team. For smooth running of all logistics from registration to closing, and for arranging entertainment and timely refreshment. Your intelligent and inspiring approach to our conference shone through in the end result. I am indebted to your patience, pragmatism and can-do attitude, despite the unorthodox ‘redirect’ in latter stages of plans which began 9 months ago. Thank you for your generosity of spirit in this matter. And for David’s parking space – we thank you!

Head of Marketing, Colas Limited

A quick email to thank you and your team for the excellent support you gave to our Summer Seminar last week. I think many were surprised at what can be achieved outside of the internal/ Army environment and I have received many comments to the effect. Special thanks must go to Brad and Jess who made the whole event ‘possible’. Many thanks for an excellent event and I look forward to seeing you again in the not-so-distant future.
