How We’ve Made a Difference
Real-world results from organizations that have partnered with Osborne. See how our expert-driven, integrated solutions have helped our clients overcome challenges, drive growth, and achieve lasting success.
Garth Johnson
CEO
Meticulon
“With Osborne’s assistance, we validated our business concept in the marketplace and identified potential partners for our social enterprise, giving us more than a kickstart at launch. They listened to our goals and objectives, completed all work on time, and exceeded our expectations and the plan scope. We would recommend their services without reservation.”
Andy Crooks
Chairman of the Board
Canadian Constitution Foundation
"I have worked with both Mark Olson and Simon Batcup on a number of assignments. I would recommend them to you in any interim management, search mandate, planning mandate or strategic advisory mandate. You will not be disappointed and will regard any and all invoices and costs as both fair and appropriate."
Georg Paffrath
Chairman of the Board
Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation
“Our Executive Director left us at a critical time in the Park’s development. We couldn’t afford normal search firm fees and needed to expedite a campaign as soon as possible. Osborne knew our business and our urgent situation. Working with their partners at ScoutTalent they found us a tremendous candidate within 60 days of starting the campaign. It was both an effective and efficient process.”
David Hansen
President & CEO
CANTERRA SEEDS
“We engaged Osborne to undertake a thorough assessment of our business and the marketplace which involved interviewing multiple stakeholders in the development of a five year strategic plan. We were more than pleased with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to refer the quality of their work to others.”
David Dial
VP Corporate Services
Next Hydrogen
“We engaged Osborne Interim Management to redesign our outdated website, wanting to modernize the design and make it easier to read and understand. Working with little direction and with a short time frame, Osborne was able to produce a dynamic, fresh and user-friendly website on time and under budget.”
Julie Hamilton
Board Chair
Palliative Care Society
“Osborne Interim Management supported our recruitment efforts for a new CEO from start to finish. They helped us develop the right profile for the individual we needed and then oversaw a process that resulted in a significant number of very qualified applicants. Their engagement in the screening and interview process led us to hiring a terrific new CEO, bringing much needed relief to the Board and invaluable momentum to our Society. I’d highly recommend their services to any other charitable or not-for-profit organization.”
David Lloyd
COO
FREDsense Technologies
“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.”
Reiny Kristel-Board
Chair
Stockmen’s Memorial Foundation
“We contracted Osborne to help transition our Foundation into the future with stronger processes, plans and leadership. We were very pleased with the results and would highly recommend their work.”
Bob Wilcox
President
Glacier FarmMedia
“Osborne effectively employed a team approach in assisting our company with several significant projects in 2021. Their ability to communicate with stakeholders internally and externally really helped our leadership team validate and focus our needs.”
Myrla Burlman
Co-Founder
YouQuest
“As a young charity, early guidance from the Osborne Interim Management team provided timely direction as we developed the YouQuest service in support of younger families living with dementia. It was energizing to learn from each team member and very rewarding to feel their personal interest in our progress and future success.”
Elias Partyka
Director of Global Marketing
Gowan Company
“We engaged Osborne Interim Management to assess the capacity of our Canadian Operations in the wake of ambitious five year growth plans. Not only did the Osborne Principals deliver a thorough report, but they provided us with valuable tools to undertake ongoing analysis and forecasting based on a number of Canadian market variables.”
Kim McConnell
Former Interim CEO
4-H Alberta
“Osborne Interim Management provided invaluable assistance to us as we merged three different operating entities into the new 4-H Alberta. Mark Olson as Interim CEO of the 4-H Foundation and Judy Williams as communications strategist played a significant role in our transformation and I would highly recommend their/Osborne’s services.”
Cory Hetherington
Chair
Simon House Recovery Centre
"After an exhaustive and inclusive recruiting process led by Osborne we were pleased to find a local Calgarian in our own backyard to take on the position of President and CEO. We were impressed by the quality and experience of applicants that applied, which made our decision even more challenging. I would personally like to thank (Osborne Principal) Mark Olson for his first class leadership over the last 8 months.”
Andy Crooks
Chairman of the Board
Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation 2
“Mark Olson has completed his work as Interim CEO for Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation. This is his third assignment as an Interim CEO for a not-for-profit organization that I am involved with as a Director, so I am familiar with his work. The fact that I have engaged him twice more after the first speaks volumes. You can count on a good result.”
Chief Aaron Young
Chiniki First Nation
“On behalf of the Chiniki Nation, I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude for the remarkable work you have done in creating the Chiniki Cultural Centre. Your contribution to bringing our culture to the public, in an authentic and respectful way, has been invaluable. We appreciated your approach and your ability to bring people together in creating this special Centre where our people can celebrate their culture. We take great pride in our traditions, our culture and our history. You have created a place where those traditions can be celebrated and shared.”
COO
Not-for-Profit
“Osborne provided our organization with insightful and efficient personnel for our accounting records, processes and reports. During their tenure, they improved reporting accuracy and made numerous changes in process for organizational effectiveness. I would highly recommend the Osborne solution.”
Victor Benz
President
Alberta Fish and Game
“Osborne Interim Management was able to provide us with interim leadership during a period of significant transition and organizational rejuvenation. In addition to the Principal who acted as Interim Executive Director, they provided resources as required to facilitate a strategic planning session and update our Personnel Policy manual. The Interim then led the recruitment process that helped us find and onboard our new CEO. I would highly recommend the services of Osborne Interim Management.”
Greg Pauls
General Manager
Parallel Ag Group
“Osborne was able to meet our timelines to have an interim CFO in place. The Talent Acquisition Specialist did a great job for us. Given our positive experience we would consider using Osborne again in the future and highly recommend its services.”
Tara Sawyer
Chair, Interim Board of Directors
Alberta Grains
“I want to express our gratitude and my gratitude for how Mark Olson of Osborne Interim Management has led us through the last six months. There is no denying his expertise is exactly what we needed and has us on the even footing we needed to pass the baton to our first ever Alberta Grains Executive Director. Thank you isn’t enough but I say it most sincerely.”
Tanya Clarke
Director
Cochrane and Area Humane Society
"Osborne’s assessment of our organization was thorough and well done. Dave was excellent as an Interim ED. He was able to accomplish a lot in a short time and the Board and staff appreciated his efforts and his leadership. We would certainly use Osborne again and would recommend them to other organizations."
Randy Williams
President
Premiere Suites
“I would recommend Osborne Interim Management’s approach for any organization looking to add coaching and mentorship into their workplace for senior and mid-management staff.”
Sandip Lalli
CEO
Calgary Chamber of Commerce
“For organizations looking for interim executive support, I would highly recommend Osborne Interim Management. They provided us with a quality CFO until we could hire a full time replacement for this position. It was a seamless, effective process.”
Barry Schmitt
President
Barr-Ag
“The Osborne Principals our business has engaged have delivered important support to our business in a number of areas and provided excellent value.”
CEO
Western Canadian Advertising Agency
“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.”
Peter Joe
CEO
Sunrise Soya Foods
“The interim management resources we brought in for a short time provided an organized overview of our HR functionality, helped to achieve a couple of senior level executive transitions without disruption and generally helped us to build a stronger organization going forward. We feel better prepared for next steps now.”
Heather Gore-Hickman
Trustee & Chair of Audit Committee
Kisoniyaminaw First Nations Heritage Trust Fund
“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.”
