Well worth my time. Very clear, concise and relevant content with some great tips and tools provided.

Tiffany Eastgate Tandem Travel

One of the most engaging workshops I have attended - a workshop where the information is useful, and sinks in - I walked away feeling confident I could teach the tools I have learnt to someone else.

Kimberley Stevens, Tararua District Council

Simplistic, practical and easy to apply.

Jin Cowan GNS Science

I attended this workshop as not only am I a busy professional, I'm a working single mother, and chair a committee. As a result I have a lot of balls up in the air, and unfortunately some important opportunities have slipped from my grasp in the past. Right from the beginning one of Frank's first pieces of advice was to capture items by writing them down to clear your mind: so simple but so effective. Learning to understand what people desire, and presenting the task or message to them in a way to effect buy-in hugely valuable also - from colleagues, to one's children, to wayward committee members. Time management, stakeholder and risk analysis, brainstorming, large-scale diagramming with scrum boards - such valuable tools. As I integrate what I learnt into my daily life, the more organised I am, and the less stress I feel. And, according to Frank, I will now live longer! Hurray!

Tamara Jones, Tauranga District Council

Fantastic! I personally enjoyed using these techniques - particularly for creative projects that involve communities, iwi and businesses.

Kawika Aipa, Porirua City Council

Simplistic, practical and easy to apply.

We were having an issue with preparing a submission for an All of Government contract. The Integral Group helped us by providing sound advice and facilitation through the process of preparing for the submission. We felt fully supported and that The Integral Group understood our needs entirely. We would not hesitate to seek out the professional advice and support of The Integral Group if we were in need of procurement or bid advice.

We were struggling to know where to start when putting together our RFP response. When pointed in the direction of The Integral Group we were fortunate enough to receive guidance from Frank Aldridge. Without Frank's knowledge and patience it would have been very difficult to produce a document we were proud of. As a company we have learnt a lot in the process and are now able to utilise the writing skills learnt for future projects. I highly recommend Frank and his team and hope to work with them again in the future.

Rick Zwaan, Dunedin City Council

We are a small trade company in Wellington and wished to prepare an RFP document for a Government Tender. Having never done one of these previously we were struggling with the very detailed document and did not wish to complete it with inadequate answers.

Seeking help, we contacted The Integral Group and received a rapid response from them. An appointment was set up and we spent the afternoon with their Director, Frank Aldridge, and one of his amazing team. This was a very interactive few hours from which our formulated replies were used to complete the RFP document and our pricing information was set out in a very professional presentation.

We were so impressed by their assistance and they made us feel very much at ease during the consultation process. We learnt a lot from Frank in how to present our tender which will help us with future presentations, however we would not hesitate to seek out his advice again if we need to.

Our company has since been awarded the tender and we have no doubt that this is in no small way due to the assistance of Frank and The Integral Group team.

"Yesterday I attended the 'Introduction to Project Management' course run by Frank Aldridge of The Integral Group Ltd. I have to say this is by far one of the best one day courses I have attended in 20+ years of working in both the government and private sector. Frank was one of the most effective facilitators I've seen and he kept the structure of the day and the content relevant and interactive. There was a great positive energy from everyone who attended, so we had a fun and informative day and came away with some vital tools we can all benefit from using on a daily basis. I highly recommend this course for anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to attend. Lisa McKerrow (Property Team)"

Project: ERP procurement assistance

We had not been through the MBIE RFX process before and needed someone with experience to assist us on this journey and at the same time upskill our team.

We engaged the Integral Group to take us on our RFX journey. The effect was amazing. The objectives we set for this engagement were exceeded on all accounts, both Frank and Bridget were fantastic.

Their approach was logical and based on many years of deep experience. I would absolutely recommend using them and would not hesitate to work with them again.
