Providing the leadership to go deep in our strategic thinking. Then, concisely expressing that thinking to others.  That’s what Bill Bancroft and his Conbrio crew do when we work together.  Bill helps me and my team look at all the plausible alternative futures, to stress test our direction, to confirm or modify different parts of our strategy. Then he helps us articulate in words and images the messages I need to convey to prospective investors.  He is so effective, prospective investors understand the opportunities we offer better than our competitors’.  That’s led to our enormous success in raising the capital we need and in delivering the results we envisioned.

We just finished our strategy session.  Our board and staff were very pleased with the results we achieved with Bill Bancroft. I would highly recommend him for any strategic work you are considering.  What I have found so unique about Bill and his process is that he combines a thought-provoking methodology with the graphic facilitation piece.  He has a keen understanding of now non-profits work, the unique dynamics of the board/staff relationship, and the challenges we face in the pursuit of our mission.  The process itself is simple and straightforward and not mired in lots of “consultant speak.”  Bill’s style is direct, thoughtful and intelligent.

I recently asked Bill and his team at Conbrio to deliver two different strategy projects, one in the private, the other in the not-for profit sector.  The results were outstanding. They made people ready to move forward quickly and effectively.  The strategy projects were the most recent in a string of various projects that I’ve done with him over several years.  Ideas he first introduced to The Staubach Company when we began working together have stood the test of time.  They were so pivotal to the success of our marketing program we institutionalized them, making them a part of our sales and marketing culture.

Bill Bancroft is a great strategist. He facilitates the thought process to bring out ideas and identifies alternatives you haven’t thought about. He brings his planning ability to the table, too. People talk about putting a plan together, he does it and you can use it to follow through and check your progress as you go. He helped us establish a sound strategy and plan, a strategy and plan that could be maintained, a strategy and plan that allowed us to keep in touch with the market.

Over several years, in project after project, Bill displayed the key ingredients of leadership in working with me and my partners. He challenged our process and so precipitated change. He inspired a shared vision and enabled others to act on that vision. He showed us how we could be better and he encouraged us, always believing that we could be better. He was a key factor in our firm being able to make great strides.

It is our belief that “when the time to perform arrives, the time to prepare is past.” Your leadership for our planning session has clearly left us in a performance mode. Your blend of activities and process proved engaging and thought provoking. This approach allowed us to launch and then refine visions and thoughts. Unlike many facilitators, you left us not just with theory, but a strategy. Through your mix of activities we were able to further dream and bond as a team, but most important we created a strategy and instrument that will allow us to guide the St. Philip’s ministry.

The test of facilitators is whether they get you where you want to go, not where they think you should go. Bill helped FaithLEAP Dallas do just that. He pitched us a process that allowed us to put the ball in play, then led us around the diamond, touching all the bases, until we arrived safe at home. I recommend him highly.

Saturday was one of the best, if not the best, such meeting I have ever attended, and in large measure I credit you for that. You showed remarkable skill in collecting and focusing people’s thoughts and suggestions and your drawings and artistic synthesis was novel and quite helpful. This is all the more amazing because you knew nothing about us or the (Centro Comunitaro Mexicano) organization 24 hours before our meeting. You deserve the highest praise.

Bill Bancroft is a strategic thinker. That’s the difference. That’s what he brings. That’s how he has given us the edge over and over again in our pursuit of new clients.

In high energy, high stress business development situations, Bill Bancroft brings order from chaos; he helps people focus on the things they don’t want to focus on; he directs, leads, stimulates, creates excitement. And most important, the teams he works with win over and over again.

Bill facilitated our becoming more and more aggressive in our sales and marketing efforts and realizing better results in the market place. He’s creative, articulate and supportive. He was part of the team that helped change our culture.

Bill helped us to see the individual motivations underlying buying decisions of client personnel. He helped everyone to work together for a common objective. I worked closely with Bill on a proposal to manage and lease Plaza of the Americas, a 1.2 million square foot office, retail and hotel complex in downtown Dallas. Going into the proposal process, I though we had about a 10 percent chance, since we had no prior relationship with the owners. Bill helped to focus us on the key relationships and selling points. We won the assignment, which was one of the largest single contracts we acquired.
