Customer testimonials
PALMER’s strategic and operational vision was the key to the success of this major operation (post-merger restructuring and integration of a bank into the distribution network). The strong presence of PALMER teams both locally and nationally (6000 kms) enabled us to mobilize all the bank’s business lines, meet tight deadlines and make this merger a complete success.
PALMER helped us set up and structure BP2I’s business model. We particularly appreciate the team’s ability to take a step back, to anticipate while acting in the short term, in a very pragmatic way, transforming with and by the teams in place.
We chose to work with PALMER to overhaul our distribution IS, because they had already met our requirements in a previous major program. Once again, they provided us with effective, methodical and committed support, both in the choice of solutions and in their implementation.
We worked with Palmer Consulting, who provided us with a full-time resource. She quickly distinguished herself by her preparation, thoroughness and reliability.
Throughout the assignment, the consultant consistently met deadlines, while delivering a complete, high-quality work package.
His ability to integrate fully with our team from the outset, contribute seamlessly and foster effective internal collaboration has been a real asset.
This partnership has added real value to our data and performance center of excellence, and we highly recommend him for his professionalism and quality of commitment.
We particularly appreciated the quality of the work carried out by the PALMER team. Despite the complexity of our organization, the final deliverable was excellent and perfectly usable.
Over and above the results, the team was able to position itself as a genuine thinking partner: adaptability, attentive listening, relevant advice delivered with expertise and candor, always combined with just the right dose of pedagogy and diplomacy.
It’s rare to work with such a professional, committed and pleasant team. It was a fruitful and rewarding first experience, and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
