Here’s what others are saying:

Norman came and spoke to the Auckland Chapter of NSANZ. His presentation and workshop was a stand out. I have always been a bit skeptical about strategy and planning and Norman brought to a practical, achievable and valuable position. It is clear that Norm has great expertise in this subject because only experts can simplify that well. I would recommend Norm to anyone looking for a speaker to talk about the future.

Norman’s clarity of thought, his undoubted knowledge of his subject, his ability to challenge top leaders with respect, his passion to see organisations and the people who lead them be the best they can be makes him a great person to have working with your team.  He has made several standout presentations and keynotes to our stakeholders at important conferences. His strengths lie in the mix of practical ideas, tools and frameworks backed up by the rigour of academic research – and in the fact that he is a thoroughly interesting and likeable human being!

It is sometime hard to write these comments without appearing to have resorted to undue hyperbole and insincere corporate gush. However, it is hard to imagine quite where our thinking and practice might be as an organisation without Norman Chorn’s insight and intellectual rigor. Capable of being challenging (and that’s a virtue), he also knows the moment when, whatever the validity of the client’s thinking, their decision prevails. Norman enables, extends and musters a considerable capital of intellect and experience. His style is generous and warm and always makes a palpable difference to thinking and development of organisational strategy. It’s pretty hard to recommend Norman highly enough.

I love Norman’s thinking. It’s succinct, topical and provocative, and is hugely relevant to any organisation that is serious about thriving in the next five years. Read his material, or listen to him speak, and you’ll see what I mean.
