Review quote
“Patti and Jack have given us a gift with this guide. Starting with the end in mind and never forgetting the ‘why' changes the paradigm on how we view, define, and measure success.”
-Gina Paone, Leader, Office of Innovation and Change, International Monetary Fund

“As a senior leader in the Army Chaplaincy, applying ROI was critical for me to show the value of our ministry and staff work in caring for our Army. A must-read.”
-Chaplain (Brigadier General, Retired) Charles “Ray” Bailey, US Army

“For many years, I used the ROI Methodology in a corporate setting . . . I love the way this book lays out the potential for the same type of demonstrable impact for individual contributors, independent consultants, project managers, practitioners, and entrepreneurs in any setting.”
-Rebecca L. Ray, PhD, Executive Vice President, Human Capital, The Conference Board

“‘Show me the money' was more than a catchy punchline from the movie Jerry Maguire. It was a demand for evidence of results that mattered. Success has many meanings, but the one most important is the ultimate worth after checklists have been completed and accolades have faded. Show the Value of What You Do is a pragmatic guide for ascertaining value as well as a platform for supporting bold experimentation and confident execution.”
--Chip R. Bell, author of Inside Your Customer's Imagination
