~~~ OUR WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF ~~~ (Mostly. In some cases it speaks in a low voice and we supplement with additional context.) Over the past 12 years, DSB has delivered engagements across a wide range of industries and geographies. Due to confidentiality agreements, most clients cannot be named. Due to other considerations, a few more cannot be named. The following case studies represent our body of work as described by us, without independent verification!!! ~~~ CASE STUDIES ~~~ ◆ GLOBAL BEVERAGE MANUFACTURER -- Strategic Roadmap EngagementA Fortune 500 beverage company (name withheld) engaged DSB to assess strategic direction amid shifting consumer preferences. DSB delivered a 212-page Strategic Futures Report, including 8 scenarios, 14 frameworks, and a 2-page executive summary that Reg described as "punchy." The client's leadership team reviewed the report over a weekend and "found it thoughtful." Implementation is pending. OUTCOME: 212-page report delivered on schedule. Implementation pending (as of this writing). ■ REGIONAL HEALTH NETWORK -- Change Management ProgramA 9-hospital health network engaged DSB following an internal restructuring that had not gone the way anyone expected. DSB facilitated 6 stakeholder alignment workshops, produced a Change Readiness Assessment, and developed a comprehensive internal communications plan. Staff morale improved 12% on self-reported surveys administered by DSB. The restructuring ultimately continued as originally planned. OUTCOME: 6 workshops completed. Morale improved 12% (self-reported). Restructuring continued. ▲ TECHNOLOGY COMPANY -- Digital Acceleration InitiativeA mid-size software company (which, we acknowledge, is somewhat ironic) engaged DSB to develop a digital transformation roadmap. DSB assessed current technology stack, evaluated 11 vendors, and produced a 94-slide presentation recommending a cloud migration strategy. Slide 87 was intentionally blank, described in the deck as "a moment of strategic pause." Client executed two of the seven recommended actions. OUTCOME: 94-slide deck delivered. Client executed 2 of 7 recommendations. Slide 87 remains a point of pride. ◇ FINANCIAL SERVICES FIRM -- Executive Coaching ProgramFour members of a regional bank's C-suite participated in DSB's Executive Coaching program over 12 months. All four completed the program. Two described it as "transformative." One described it as "fine." The fourth declined to comment. The bank's results over the subsequent year were in line with industry peers, which DSB considers consistent with a coaching outcome. OUTCOME: All 4 executives completed the program. 2 called it "transformative." Industry-standard results followed. □ LOGISTICS COMPANY -- Operational TransformationA regional freight and logistics operator engaged DSB to assess warehouse operations across 3 facilities. DSB conducted on-site assessments, interviewed 34 staff members, and produced a Transformation Blueprint with 67 discrete recommendations. The client implemented 11 recommendations immediately. Of these, 8 showed measurable improvement within 90 days. The remaining 56 recommendations are "under review." OUTCOME: 67 recommendations delivered. 11 implemented. 8 showed measurable improvement. 56 under review. △ MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT -- Market Intelligence RetainerA city government in the mountain west retained DSB's Insights Division to provide quarterly market analysis on economic development trends. DSB delivered 4 quarterly reports and 1 annual synthesis over the retainer period. City staff noted the reports were "comprehensive" and "consistent with what we were already seeing," which the city's Planning Director called "a validation." OUTCOME: 5 reports delivered. Client validated. Retainer renewed for year two. ~~~ CLIENT ROSTER ~~~ Due to confidentiality, we display client categories rather than names!! But trust us — they were real companies with budgets!!
