Peter Schutz has served on my board of directors for many years. "Peter has the uncanny ability to get you and your organization to think outside the box.... Even when we weren't talking business, I always kept a yellow pad handy so as not to miss anything. Peter's sharing of his knowledge with me was without a doubt a critical part of my business management education. He's responsible for laying out the road map to enable me to live beyond success." "Peter Schutz was very, very good. He was a captivating speaker, and threw in a joke or two in a timely manner. His speech was captivating because he was a guy who did it, who turned around Porsche. What he said about growth and change was very relevant to our industry today. Peter even made himself available for another hour and half afterwards to sit down and share more stories and ideas with my attendees. He was a great choice." "The tally of member evaluation of the spring meeting is almost a record breaker. In the 15 years we have worked for this organization, I think only one other speaker had a perfect score!" I attended a conference where Mr. Schutz spoke. Of everyone I heard that week, he was the speaker that most positively affected my thinking. Following this conference, we developed a new strategy in our company, incorporating many of the philosophies of Mr. Schutz that we still follow today. In 1998, we invited him to come speak to our organization and it had a great impact on the whole oraganization. As we are developing our ECL Group strategy that will take us through 2005, we have invited him to return to Clagary so we may use his insight to set the stage for our future.
