Testimonials

Roberto F. Figueroa High-Tech Product, Strategy & Operations Executive for Startups & Fortune 500“Insightful! SPEEDTM is a very actionable framework to help you drive towards a new operating model and to succeed at it.
The case studies bring it to life and show context that make it easy to relate to.”

Molly O’Donnell, Chief of Staff of Microsoft’s Consumer Channels Group“As business projects and campaigns ebb and flow, your workforce must be fluid and adaptable.
Like other on-demand models such as Uber for cars and TaskRabbit for household tasks, Lisa’s book is a quick and practical read on how to create a dynamic on-demand workforce.”

Rick Wong former Vice President, Microsoft“Many consulting companies advertise their abundance of experts, but few employ methods that match experts to the client’s culture.
A misfit expert is worse than not having the expertise. Lisa’s SPEEDTM strategy helped my teams find culturally compatible experts who on-board quickly and achieve immediate results. Important read for today’s leaders.”
