"Working with Steve Wright was an exceptional experience that transformed our board's strategic planning process. His adept facilitation skills, insightful guidance, and ability to foster open, productive discussions enabled us to identify and prioritize new long-term strategic goals with clarity and confidence. Steve created an engaging and collaborative environment where every board member felt heard and valued, ultimately leading to a clear vision for our organization's future. His expertise not only streamlined our decision-making, but inspired innovative thinking, positioning us for sustained growth and success. We highly recommend Steve for any organization seeking to enhance their strategic planning initiatives."
"Steve led our public power agency's strategic planning with great skill, wisdom, and insight, defining KPP Energy's course for the next four years. In my 30+ years of work in public power, I’ve yet to participate in a strategic planning retreat that I felt was more organized, thoughtful, and inclusive. His deep knowledge of the utility industry - and of organizational leadership, management, and board governance - was invaluable to our agency. I could not recommend him more highly."
