Bio
Ronald Moore
I highly recommend Donald. He has tremendous knowledge and understanding of Integrated Business Planning (IBP) and how to utilize the process to achieve business goals and objectives. He has a keen understanding of ERP functionality and can provide real life examples to help companies improve their processes. I am grateful for the opportunity that I had to learn, share, and engage in knowledge transfer from Donald. I enjoyed many one on one discussion and whiteboard sessions during our early morning and late evening sessions. The theories, concepts, process design, and best practice sessions were so valuable to getting to the finish line.

I worked alongside Donald for many years in support of numerous clients. From the start, Donald demonstrated a passion for client success and an insatiable appetite for understanding and learning. Donald would consume every spare moment we had together with an endless flow of questions. Most of which I would start answering by saying ‘well that depends,’ and then we would go on to have an in-depth conversation about the question Donald had asked. Over the years, our relationship blossomed from colleagues to friends, from Donald learning from me to us learning from each other. I highly recommend Donald as a person who has a deep understanding of Integrated Business Planning (IBP) and how to utilize the process to achieve business goals and objectives. He has had significant success in helping companies literally transform the way they manage their business. If I were seeking a consultant, coach and advisor, Donald would be at the top of my list.
