The Need

Most organizations recognize the need to proactively manage change when dealing with the pressures of today's tough business climate. This usually leads to some level of strategic and operational planning. Some have tried – with limited success – to develop their own plans and keep them relevant.

"I participated in a number of management strategic retreats over the past 15 years and none have been as effective as Bret Romney’s Base Camp Retreat. This was exactly what our 50 year old Caribbean based company needed – a clear vision, a platform to operate from, and Bret delivered. He makes things simple to understand and easy to follow.

We’ll be using Bret’s services on an ongoing basis and look forward to working with him.”
