Following are reference statements demonstrating keith's skills, project based approach and successes.  Dollarized benefits realized by clients can be provided upon request and by consent from the reference.

“I have witnessed keith’s broad experience in all facets of company operations and leadership, his trust earning consultative approach and commitment to rolling up his sleeves to get the job done while mentoring our younger professionals.  His applications of project management technique and delivery results are outstanding.  The closest comparison I have is working with a large tier 1 consulting organization; however, keith came to us at a fraction of the cost and did not require us to bring in a large team to cover all the areas of domain expertise we required."

"As an interim leader he took operational accountability for one of our critical business strategy implementations and while leading the effort used the initiative to model project management best practice.  He completed the project successfully and mentored our business executives."

"Amazing! - packaging and running our company acquisition as a project allowed us to do three times the amount of work in half the time.  By using a part-time project manager and PMOonDemand©, the employee team members we had working for us on the acquisition could stay focused on their area of expertise while all of the action planning, sequencing of events, coordination of logistics and follow up was handled by the consultant project manager."

"keith set up our project communications plan using Twitter.  This was the most innovative and effective method of project communication I had ever seen."  

"A leader by example whose value is fully leveraged when contracted to recover a key company initiative while simultaneously assessing and leading improvements to a client’s overall project management capabilities. He inspired our team to perform at higher levels."

"With vast leadership experience and ready-made job aids, Jensen transformed our business analyst and project management staff into EBITA performers."

"We engaged Keith as our interim projects officer to help us assemble a portfolio of key projects, teach our project managers critical-path management skills and implement a PMCoE to maintain standards.  Using PMOonDemand© as a basis to build our PM tool kit and keith's leadership skills we were able to stand up our center of excellence in 4 weeks and move on to the most important thing, coaching and mentoring our PMs." 

"Under Jensen's direction we reviewed our yearly business objectives and worked to projectize all of the actions required to achieve our objectives.  Using a combination of keith's job-aids, which included Six Sigma, Agile and OPM3 Project Portfolio Management technique, we built a portfolio of rapid return project sprints and a governance framework to monitor our performance to plan and risk mitigation effectiveness." 

"keith coaches the importance of developing and applying a unique set of project specific measurements to ensure projects are successful. He reminds us that traditional measures of scope, schedule and budget have no significance unless stakeholders applaud the effort, fully adopt deliverables and realize the value of stated benefits."

"We do not have in-house technology project management expertise.  Using PMOonDemand© pay-by-the-project advisory services we were able to plan, execute and govern our one-time web site implementation with an outside vendor and complete the project as proposed.  During the project we worked with keith to create our own project management tool-kit and will now be able to manage future changes to the web site on our own."
 
"Applying project management techniques to our sales force automation project allowed us to plan and effectively coordinate the activities of 15 regional team members.  Outsourcing the planning, coordination, semimonthly progress reporting and status call facilitation allowed me to remain focused on my core business while improving it.  Being a small-business and having access to change management support when we need it is invaluable."
