My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.

Norma Davis of Connective Edge Resources assisted Optivus during two recent business system selection projects. In each case, her knowledge, experience and team leadership skills were key elements toward our success. Norma is very well organized, effectively coordinated group activities, kept the projects on track and helped us achieve the best possible results. We plan on using Connective Edge Resources for future projects and highly recommend their services to others.

Thank you Connective Edge Resource for helping us achieve our ISO registration. When we first embarked on this journey in March of 2008 we had no idea how we would get through the registration process as we are a small company with limited resources. Your consultants, especially Dr. Don Smith and Ms. Bene’ Lusk were instrumental in guiding us through this journey. Not only did we pass the registration audit, but we will be among the first companies to be certified under the new ISO 9001:2008 standard which was just released in November 2008. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

VTD utilized Connective Edge Resource for two of our management retreats. Both programs were well received by the participants with valuable ‘take-aways’ to enhance their management skills. The days were well organized with participants actively engaged in the days’ activities. The program for each event was tailored to our needs and requests and was well presented. We have enjoyed working with Connective Edge Resources.

Norma is a good communicator who is open and receptive. Unlike many people in her profession she is decisive yet not pushy.

As Norma's attorney for the past several years, I have had the distinct pleasure to work with her on several business projects. In working with Norma I have discovered that she is an innovative and action oriented person which allows her to creatively and efficiently implement projects thereby producing a competitive advantage for her clients. Norma has a unique combination of intellect, vision and experience which allows her to create synergies across a broad spectrum of people and functional areas within a business to improve its bottom line. Not only is Norma a considerable talent who provides value to all projects in which she is involved, Norma is dedicated to providing quality work, has the highest integrity and has partnered with consultants who share these same qualities. I enthusiastically endorse Norma's work and offer my highest recommendation for Norma and Connective Edge Resources.

"I’ve known Dr. Davis since the early 1990s when we were classmates in the Executive Management program at the Drucker School of Management. Norma’s excellent communication skills enabled her to share her extensive manufacturing expertise and experience with her fellow executive classmates. As we have kept in touch over the years, I know Norma’s experience, knowledge, analytical abilities and communication skills have enabled her to become an effective consultant. Her experience ranges throughout the functional areas of the organization which can be extremely effective in ERP implementation projects which are often more about managing change than technical issues."
