Sonny Garg – Senior Vice President and Chief Information & Innovation Officer

CfHP has delivered outstanding results for us. Following a very large M&A, Lucia and her team worked with our new executive IT leadership team to collaboratively develop a multi-year strategic plan. What was most important beyond the end product, from my perspective, was that the process they used built trust among the new leadership team and forged the bonds needed both to develop a plan and execute it.

Steve Betts – CIO

At the end of the day, I care about results — and Lucia and her team delivered the meaningful and lasting behavioral change in my leadership team that I was looking for. They quickly gained the trust and respect of my team with their insightful and direct engagement style. They used fact-based insights gained from multiple interviews, coupled with practical examples and role-playing exercises, to meaningfully change the behaviors of my team.
