I want to convey that Osborne would be a valuable resource for entities looking to engage the types of services they offer. I would not hesitate to refer someone to Osborne in the future.
We were at an inflexion point, wanting to take a successful single-chapter networking group to the next level. The Osborne Principal worked with us to develop a strategic plan and much more; management guidance, a pricing model and a strong tactical approach that has put us well on the path. We would highly recommend Osborne’s services to other organizations.
Following the sudden departure of our CEO, Osborne responded immediately with a very qualified interim senior executive on site within days. He was able to hit the ground running, reassuring staff and implementing business processes that greatly assisted our operation. He reached out to stakeholders within the greater Habitat community and communicated recommendations to the Board. Osborne also assigned another executive with experience in recruitment to assist us in attracting and triaging talent for the full time CEO position. The end result was the hiring of a dynamic new leader transitioned in with Osborne’s support. I would highly recommend Osborne Interim Management to any organization finding itself in a similar situation.
We were able to fill a team lead-mechanical integrity position on our production reliability team with an interim from Osborne. The Principal did an exceptional job for us over the six month contract. It wasn’t only the technical qualifications the Osborne interim brought to the position, but his business/entrepreneurial experience and leadership qualities that created value for the company.
I thought I needed someone to run my company while I worked in it. What I really needed was an executive sounding board to advise me in organizational reform and strategic development.

Osborne provided a valuable and cost effective resource.
Osborne worked with the Chief Financial Officer of a well-established Western Canadian advertising agency to review financial statements, financial forecasts and associated documentation to provide financial acumen and advice regarding current business challenges and their interrelationship. The Principal encouraged open communication of the various issues and was a sounding board for the executive team to review and clarify financial impacts of organization complexity. The result was we were able to move forward on some difficult decisions.
I would recommend Osborne as a contract/interim management resource for future consideration for Vancouver Coastal Health or any other organization who may require Osborne's services.
Osborne Interim was able to provide us with a Principal who helped guide us through a technology start-up. His extensive business experience complemented the technical expertise we bring to the table and he continues to provide support and assistance to allow us to smoothly bring our product to market.
We are really happy with our decision to use Osborne to help with our company’s expansion plans. Being a small business with limited experience, it was a great relief to have someone else put together plans and forecasting that I was simply not able to do. I was surprised by the attention to detail and how much interest the Principal took in learning our business model and practises. I would highly recommend their services to any business, and look forward to a continued relationship.
