What our clients have been saying in the last year...

"Working with Steve and Fran Shields has been a very rewarding experience; we believe our organization is somewhat unique, from the members of our Board to the corporate culture that we have worked hard to create. Both Steve and Fran have been able to capture, understand and work with us to improve our organization. And make it a fun and exciting experience! We have used Steve and Fran for a number of areas within our company; however the most recent was our Strategic planning sessions, their philosophy fits hand - in - glove with ours and we have been able to continue using the template they implemented years later."
— Diane Brickner CIP, President and CEO, Peace Hills Insurance Company

" Working with Steve and Fran Shields of Curran Consulting - they bring proven methodologies and best practices to any engagement they are involved in but most importantly they are completely focused on whatever it will take to make your project a success and achieve the desired results. The only downside with having them involved in your business is facing the reality that at some point they must leave. As with everything they do, this impact will be anticipated and planned for well in advance. Their value as a team - Steve and Fran bring different and complementary skills to bear and having the two of them involved on a project provides benefits that are much greater than the sum of their individual talents."
— Sheldon Dyck, President and Chief Investment Officer, ATB Investor Services [2008]

"Fran and Steve Shields are change advocates. Their deep understanding of the context of transformational change ensures that strategic goals are achieved."
— Dave Ludwick, former Director of Electronic Health Record in Alberta [2008]

"We have worked with Steve and Fran on several projects. They have always prepared the ground, and planted the seeds; all we had to do was apply water and fertilizer and harvest the crop. They made it easy for us to be successful. Steve and Fran bring that ideal combination of technical skills, project management skills, and people skills to deliver excellent projects that meet client needs in a timely fashion. The bottom line is that we like working with them and look forward to doing it again."
— Larry Chester, President and CEO of Process Design Inc. Toronto, ON (2008)

"Steve and Fran of Curran Consulting work as a team, which is quite unique for starters; they are both very intelligent and quite gifted when it comes to planning workshops and motivating a group. They spend considerable time learning the issues in advance and focusing on the desired outcomes to ensure the highest quality product at the end of the session. I met them a few years back quite by accident and they were involved in the preparation of the Government business case template and the training of several hundred members of the Public Service. I have used them for a number of tasks in the past 4 years and have never been disappointed in the effort and product. I found them to be a ton of fun, hard working and innovative in their approach to getting the absolute best out of groups."
— Deputy Solicitor General and Deputy Minister of Public Security (2007)
