Outstanding TWE Results = Happy TWE Customers
Tim has been very helpful in creating processes that move our business in a positive direction. He has focused clearly on our most important challenges and helped create positive direction towards overcoming these issues. In areas where we lacked direction in the past, we now have a clear process to find incremental gains and continuous improvement.
Tim has been tremendously helpful to me as a leader. He has helped me to identify my strengths and weaknesses, and helped create strategies that make me more successful.
I would describe Tim as:
Tim facilitated a strategic planning session with our team and board which was extremely valuable in finding alignment and setting a common direction for the organization. Don’t wait to hire a coach like Tim. You will see immediate return on investment, through improved performance, or avoiding costly problems within your organization.

I engaged Tim Sweet of Team Work Excellence Business Consulants as both an Advising Consultant and a Strategic Facilitator to increase the performance of my organization.
As an Advising Consultant in the area of performance improvement and transformation, Tim was engaged to help a struggling program find traction.
The Operational Management System team was challenged to meet key product development timelines as well as product quality and effectiveness/fit for purpose expectations. Several management interventions at different levels were unsuccessful in redirecting the team’s efforts. Tim was brought in as a performance specialist to perform a rapid assessment of the team’s capabilities and direction in order to make recommendations for necessary changes.
Tim’s excellent character and performance assessment skills resulted in recommendations to make key staff and responsibility changes that quickly increased the productivity and effectiveness of the overall team. A mindset shift occurred within the team that resulted in project milestones being consistently met and increased client satisfaction with the completed work products. Acceptance of the company-wide rollout of the Operational Management System accelerated as a result of the team improvements.
After working closely with Tim, it became apparent to me that it is necessary to have someone like Tim, who is removed from the inner workings of a team, and who doesn’t have a long-term stake in being a member of it (i.e. someone who lacks internal bias, assumptions and agenda) to be able to truly assess its strengths and weaknesses and provide critical assessments for improvement.
Tim’s range of experience in areas of strategic planning and leadership coaching and his sheer intellectual horsepower and willingness to openly share his honest perspectives were extremely helpful in assisting me with providing appropriate support and guidance to the team during the transformation.
Key lessons I learned from Tim included the importance that complementary team dynamics and strong leadership has on a team’s overall performance and the critical role that clarity of purpose and clear, measurable performance metrics play in ensuring long-term team sustainability.
As a Strategic Facilitator, Tim was engaged to help bring the team together.
An division wide organizational change had brought a diverse group of services together under my area of executive responsibilities, for which a single strategic plan was required that would identify commonalities, synergies and clear long-term direction to the newly formed group.
In a series of strategic planning sessions and follow up client and employee meetings Tim was able to facilitate the development of concise, clear statements of purpose, impact, and priorities for each of the key areas of the departments.
The process helped to clarify opportunities for synergies and interdependence as well as priorities for which responsibilities were more individualized to particular groups. Importantly each group was able to connect their service roles as program owners and developers into the overall function of the company’s new Operational Management System. This “cohesiveness” did not exist prior to these groups coming together organizationally and was challenging to articulate without the output of Tim’s strategic planning efforts.
Tim’s leadership and facilitation of the group’s strategic plan laid the foundation for a set of clear, client vetted, tactics and priorities. Achieving a level of simplicity, these “stories” could be used to articulate the current and desired states of each key department within the group and provided a clear path to get there with demonstrable measures. Doing this on a single page was a breakthrough compared to the prior approach to planning.
In Conclusion:
In picking a few words to describe Tim’s values and style terms such as courageous, honest, creative, knowledgeable, and engaged immediately come to mind.
Tim's inventory of processes and tools and his deep knowledge of the underlying purpose for them and the most effective way to deploy them is unparalleled. I’ve worked with hundreds of management consultants over the years and have not met anyone with as much practical expertise and depth as Tim.
I strongly believe that any executive or team that engages Tim will see measurable results in a very short period of time.

Tim was retained as a business performance advisor and coach for a newly formed team. The team was in a storming and forming state and was challenged by silos, misalignment of strategic direction, and a lack of stakeholder focus.
Tim effectively facilitated and supported the introduction of a business performance management approach, improving the team’s collaboration, understanding of value, vision, goals and brand. He helped the team think strategically and focus work streams to maximize value. This opened my perspective as a leader, seeing strong performance shifts in individuals and the team as a whole.
Personally, Tim has had a meaningful impact on me as a leader, providing tangible and easy to use models to apply to leadership challenges. He had a personable and energetic approach that provide a strong foundation for relationship building and he inspires a can-do attitude.
Tim had provided me with lasting and transferable concepts. Notably, putting strategy before structure, strategic profiles, change readiness, and understanding how to improve team and individual performance. For those on the fence on hiring Tim, I would say present him with a challenge, and I guarantee he will have a model or approach that will unlock your thinking and put you on the right path towards a solution.
