Supriya Desai

In a word, Supriya is "remarkable"?
Most impressive was her balance of technical competence with the ability to listen to the voice of the customer and then tailor to their specific situation and requirements. She has an uncanny ability to build rapport and earn the respect at all levels from the shop floor to the boardroom.
Supriya is by far the most gifted, brightest and most talented person I've ever
been around.

Supriya's tremendous success with driving and sustaining results is unique and considers the realities that organizations need to constantly change due to dynamic market factors, new technologies, mergers, and performance requirements. Supriya has over the years developed a very powerful set of mechanisms and tools to drive continuous cultural, behavioral, and process changes that are required to stay ahead in the race. Her unique perspective, highly developed skills, integrity, courage, and dedication set her apart. She is simply better than best.

Supriya is an outstanding speaker with deep expertise in her field. She always has engaging, thought provoking topics that interest our community and her sessions have become ?standing room only.

I had the pleasure of working with Supriya on a Culture Change consulting engagement in the wake of the announced "merger of equals" of two regional banks. Supriya acted as the main project manager and client liaison through strategic planning and discovery phases of the project. Despite a challenging client environment, due to merger related uncertainty, reorganizations, fear and resistance, Supriya's professionalism, teamwork and communication expertise helped to establish stakeholder alignment and identify key focus areas required to support the development of the desired end-state culture. I would gladly recommend Supriya and would be happy to work with her again.

Supriya's effective leadership in change management comes from her passion in helping people realize change ? at an organizational, team and individual level. She has keen insight in recognizing the "people side" of organizational transformation, and is direct and skillful in executive and employee coaching. She also brings years of experience in project management, and was instrumental in guiding design process for a key initiative that had stalled.

When Supriya first started her engagement with us, my commercial team had been on a transformation journey for over a year [revamping our business model]. We made great progress but just when we hit our stride, senior leadership announced a reorganization to create a line of business [model]. We had to integrate new teams and create a "one team" mentality to take the business forward. Supriya helped us identify the key goals and objectives for the new operating model and think through how we could build a culture of shared accountability within our new team make it all happen. Supriya helped us work through the issues we needed to address as a team, as well as how we needed to work together. Thanks to Supriya's help, I feel much more confident that our team is focused on the most important aspects of change management and that we are well equipped to deal with the challenges we know we will encounter along the way.

Supriya is an excellent Change Leader who knows how to translate concepts into actions that drive meaningful change. She is a strategic thinker who is able to take seemingly disparate threads of information and link them together in a meaningful way. She is tenacious and passionate about doing what is right for the client.

I recommend Supriya without hesitation. She is extremely knowledgeable, results-driven, and focused.
