TESTIMONIALS

‘Hardin Tibbs (Synthesys’ principal consultant) has the amazing ability to create both verbal and visual metaphors to explain complex phenomena and situations. He is a joy to watch in action and the “go-to” person if you want to ensure that a group of executives think and react strategically. Having seen many other consultants in action, he is one of the best!’ 

Dr Karen Otazo, President
Global Leadership Network

 

‘Hardin Tibbs worked with us at the Open University on potential scenarios for the future of higher education, and in particular, on the role of social web technologies, from which an ongoing initiative called SocialLearn is taking this work forward. Hardin made valuable contributions to our thinking at multiple points along this inquiry, from its conception, and we would recommend him for his grasp of the cultural forces now shaping society, and his ability to contextualise them to our concerns.’

Professor Denise Kirkpatrick
Pro Vice-Chancellor Learning, Teaching and Quality
The Open University, UK

 

‘In 2008, Hardin Tibbs helped CSC develop a set of scenarios for the future of our industry. These scenarios proved to be a very good starting point for discussion and the whole strategy moved to detailed design and then implementation. The scenarios proved to be quite accurate. Job well done!’

Lubomir Dvorsky, Consultant, CSC Computer Sciences
