Michael K. Hollahan – Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems Director – ERP Project Leader

“Before this project I had a rather low opinion of consultants . My past experiences had not been very productive or pleasant. I was impressed with Barbara. I can honestly say that given the challenges we faced, this project would not have achieved the success it has without her as my partner. My experience with leading a change team was exactly zero. Barbara proceeded to give me a brief class on Change Management. I was unconvinced that all of what she was showing me would be applicable to our business and the global ERP implementation we were undertaking. I could not have been more wrong. Everything that Barbara had shown me those many months ago has come to fruition exactly as she told me they would. She has been my steadying rock to lean on when needed, my sounding board to vent to, the calming influence when things got hectic and frustrating, a wealth of knowledge about a subject that was very new to me and most of all a partner in heading up this team. She has not been just a consultant; she is my management partner for this entire project. I am, as are most managers, especially engineers, a controlling individual so for me to consider Barbara a partner in “my” project indicates a very high level of trust in her ability. Her ability to work under pressure, stay calm and keep the team focused has turned what could have been a very unpleasant experience into something very interesting to do. In my opinion Barbara’s strongest point is her ability to communicate to anyone, no matter who they are. Her presentation skills are impressive and she has the ability to grab an audience’s attention and hold it no matter how dry the subject may be. I can honestly say that given the challenges we faced, this project would not have achieved the success it has without her as my partner.”
