“As a senior leader at World Vision, Chris demonstrated the remarkable combination of a strategic mind, creative thinking, and exceptional integrity–while also showing strong people skills and high emotional intelligence… Chris engaged deeply with our staff teams and ensured their voices were heard and insights shared. I highly recommend Chris as a leader, man of faith and strategic thinker.“

"Lon led our Board of Directors and Senior Management Team through the strategic planning process. As a well-established organization that has served our community for 55 years, Lon’s “human first” approach lends very naturally to helping us look at all our services through a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) lens. His easy communication style, professional knowledge of our sector and facilitation skills helped all of us leave the session feeling hopeful for the good that we are capable of doing, and set our strategy off on a positive note!"

“I wholeheartedly recommend Christian. He led our three-year 2020-22 Strategic Planning process. Hope Story’s Board enthusiastically adopted the plan, and by the close of 2021, revenue was 16 percent higher than in our previous record-breaking year.”

"It has been a pleasure to partner with Chris as we worked to build the next five year strategic plan for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Chris led us through a very in depth process that enabled us to consult across our network and construct a plan that both builds on our nearly 40 year history and propels us into an inspiring and challenging future. Throughout the process Chris’s remarkable level of expertise, his professionalism, his deep relational empathy and his innate wisdom shone through and helped guide us to a great conclusion. He’s also an extremely nice guy. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

"Lon listens well to the rhythm of a group and is able to gently bring a diversity of stakeholders in a common direction. His suggestions are always thoughtful and well-grounded in best practice. We enjoyed working with Lon and recommend him to any organization looking for experienced expert facilitation."

“Christian supported us in developing a three-year strategic plan… He led the development of community survey and assessment tools and… hosted conversations on sensitive topics with leaders in our community in Kenya. His open and warm demeanour, combined with his listening posture, helped us to build consensus around topics that had been challenging in the past. He navigated the discussions with sensitivity and care, bringing everyone to agreeable conclusions. I would not hesitate to recommend Christian…”

"Chris led us through an extremely successful strategic planning process, despite having to reconfigure the whole thing virtually! We had great engagement from our constituents and board. Chris worked with us to refine our process and provided the tools we needed to move forward in actioning our strategy, as well."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Chris and Lon when they worked with The Compass Foodbank & Outreach Centre. The process they used to assist us in preparing our strategic plan was thorough and robust. Chris and Lon skillfully guided us through a series of interactive exercises to build our new plan. They assisted us in convening feedback sessions with various stakeholder groups, which was a helpful part of the process. With the solid assistance from Chris and Lon, The Compass has a bold new strategic plan that will help us drive change that will be truly transformational."

“Kelowna’s Gospel Mission was in need of someone who understood our culture and values, someone who spoke our language, to help us discover and articulate a vision for the future and build a strategy to see it through. Chris was the perfect fit for us. We are thrilled with the end product but also with the process Chris led us through. His gentle guidance led us through complex waters safe to the other side, united as a team under one vision.“

"When entrusting your organization to a person who is going to lead you to a better place through a series of planning and thought sessions, you want that person to have integrity, organization, clarity, connection, vision, collaboration, and interpersonal skills. Chris Bosch checks all of those boxes. As a result of his work with us, our school has developed clarity, alignment, vision, and growth. Your organization would do well to engage the services of Chris. He comes with my highest recommendation."

"I would highly recommend utilizing the consultancy services of Chris Bosch for strategic planning.  Chris led our Board, staff, volunteers, tenants and stakeholders through the work of creating and implementing our current Strategic Plan.  It started with carefully listening about how we wished to structure the process.  He helped, encouraged and sometimes pushed us through the strategic planning process from idea to implementation.   It is a good plan and more importantly, we have incredible buy-in to implement the plan."

"MCC entities who previously have not found strategic planning meaningful, are fully engaged in developing action plans to build on the [strategy]. Thank you, Chris Bosch, and Chisel Consulting. Working with you was a core reason for this success."
