Endorsements for Ian Rose's Research

3M

"I have utilized Ian's services in the past (at 3M) and have found his services to be very valuable. I have purchased research papers as well as intermittent consulting services relative to Knowledge Management strategy and applications. Ian has also served as a guest speaker for the Conference Board Learning and Knowledge Management Council, of which I am an executive committee member and the Twin Cities Knowledge Management Forum, of which I am the current President.

The quality of his research is extremely high and he is usually about two years ahead of conventional wisdom. He exceeds expectations in terms of delivery of relevant material and addresses senior management concerns well. Members of the above organizations have given me very positive input from Ian's presentations. He is very talented at making intangible concepts tangible, which as you know is of particular value in the learning and knowledge management area."

EDS:

"I would like to offer my endorsement of Ian Rose. As a representative from a leading information technology services provider, Electronic Data Systems (EDS) Corporation, I was one of several corporate sponsors for approximately four studies that Ian conducted. These studies focused on key business issues involving organizational learning and development, education/training, and business change impact. He had an organized approach and methodology for conducting the study, managing sponsor expectations, communicating information and regular statuses, and producing comprehensive deliverables."

HSBC:

"I have had the pleasure of working with Ian on several occasions, both in the capacity of a client and as a resource for many of his benchmarking studies. Over the years, Ian has not only amassed an incredibly extensive network of key corporate contacts from around the globe, but as well a remarkable talent for getting those contacts to share success stories, best practices and lessons learned, and summarizing his findings in highly relevant and compelling ways. But perhaps Ian's greatest talent is that he makes you think."
