Mobius Inc. co-presidents, William Stockton, PhD. and Marjorie Herdes have facilitated development i
I want to thank you (Mobius, Inc.) for facilitating the Public Works Department Strategic Planning process during 2003. Besides helping us develop and implement the department’s first strategic plan, you also helped us create a prioritization methodology for dealing with department workload issues. The process you utilized involved all the employees in our department in an effective, efficient, and respectful manner. Employee morale, interactions, and relationships improved in our department during this process and continue to improve as a result of that effort. The end result of our planning effort was ownership of our Strategic Plan by department employees with accountability measures incorporated into its implementation. The strategic plan and prioritization methodology you helped us develop are in use today and continue to help guide department staff so they may focus on what is truly important to our Public Works Department; not to mention the employee working relationships and morale keep improving in the department!!

We could not be happier with our relationship with Mobius during the city's visioning process. Our community began a most unsual journey many months ago to use appreciative inquiry to set a vision for an entire city of some 45,000 people. We have learned much from this and have begun to change the very way people view government in St. Louis Park. It was very comforting to have Will and Marjorie by our side as we embarked on this. They have been just great.
