Thomas has a powerful and invaluable gift for understanding human interactions in organizations and guiding them to new levels of productivity, collaboration and success.  The knowledge and tools he has developed cut through the static, frustration, confusion, conflicts and chaos that so many groups fall prey to. If you have the chance to attend one of his trainings you will be getting exceptional insight and have the chance for transformative, lasting results.

I had the pleasure of participating in a foundation board retreat that Thomas facilitated. We achieved a major breakthrough during this meeting. Thomas demonstrated an exceptional ability to focus a diverse and opinionated group of business and community leaders.

By converting leadership training into something that is practical, Dr. Griggs gains immediate credibility. The training program identifies specific problem situations, reduces them to their fundamental elements, and applies specific, effective tools to help managers find solutions. With practice, I have discovered that I am leading my scientific team more effectively and communicating better.  In meetings with my peers and supervisors, I find it much easier to obtain consensus and to be persuasive.

This was the most positive and constructive event which PDA has provided in a conference on PDA FDA in a long while. Actually, we were so impressed we have just used this technique at our global meeting on Quality this week in Belgium and it is a valuable tool to open minds and drive change and develop a next level of understanding of differences – to begin the journey.  Really appreciate what you did and also do.

I worked at IBM for nearly 17 years, attending numerous management training classes and assessment sessions. Since leaving IBM I’ve joined several boards and participated in numerous planning and strategy sessions including one just completed by Dr. Thomas Griggs. The session conducted by Thomas is the gold standard against which all such high level meetings should be measured. His process for conducting a discussion is tremendously effective. It includes simple rules for interacting respectfully, solicits input from all parties, and concludes each day with each individual commenting about the day’s successes. I look forward to the next board retreat with Thomas.
