What our clients have to say about our work.

"I contacted Al and we set up an interview with the Executive Committee. It didn't take us long to realize we were rookies with this type of endeavor. We checked his references, checked out his website, and voted to hire him for the task of finding a new Executive Officer.

Al led us through the process step by step and with each new step it was reaffirmed that we had made the right choice to hire a professional to lead us. Al's insight to our needs was no accident; he had us do some "homework" describing the critical competencies of an ideal Executive Officer. He had question that we answered and he was able to determine exactly what kind of person we needed to fill the position. After all the resumes were reviewed he did personality testing on the top candidates. All I can say about that is, 'WOW, that's amazing!' I would strongly recommend that anyone looking to fill a professional, key player position use a professional, and in my opinion Al Raffetto is in the top of his field."

"
We originally worked with Dr. Raffetto through Advisory Profiles while testing managers and new hires for strengths and weaknesses. We quickly saw that Dr. Raffetto was a valuable asset to our organization in an advisory/consultant capacity.

Dr. Raffetto developed a specialized program to work with key individuals in our organization to help identify the barriers to increasing productivity, decreasing errors and fostering better communication.

During the three years that Dr. Raffetto consulted for us, our sales increased by 22%, due in part to the effectiveness of our work with Dr. Raffetto."

"When I first met Al Raffetto, he was consulting on the business practices of a mutual client. I asked him to explain what exactly he does as a consultant and discovered that the services he offered were exactly what I needed to solve many of the problems I incur running my design studio.

Through the use of the Advisory Profiles, I and my staff were delighted and surprised with the test results. They were honest, informative and offered very helpful suggestions for growth as individuals, as well as team players.

During an afternoon workshop designed to put the results together, Mr. Raffetto guided the staff through some uncomfortable problem-solving and decision-making. Some were excited; some fought the changes; one quit – unable to take “the pressure.” However, the shake-up proved to better the situation here at Design/Graphics.

It is always a challenge to run a business. Al Raffetto helps make the challenge exciting and rewarding."
