							<div class="elementor-testimonial-content"><p>“Since we were consolidating multiple organizations and facilities while continuing to support the user base, my management team was torn between providing support and thoughtfully and correctly building the new organization.  Dr. Jenks took the reins and facilitated the creation of critical documents and handbooks that resulted in a wildly successful IT operations organization.  I was told by several senior executives that what we were attempting was impossible and we were being set up for failure – a unionized workforce in the federal government does not like to make his type of radical organizational change. But we pulled it off, and much of the credit goes to Dr. Jenks’ leadership in providing critical behind-the scenes foundational support. </p>

<p>The cultural transformation executed by the organization was remarkable, and the performance of the entire team was benchmarked by the Gartner organization two years into the transformation to centralized management – we were determined to be one one-hundredth of a point shy of “best in class” measured against federal and private sector IT operations and data center service providers.  Much of the credit goes to Dr. Jenks’ development of overarching, foundational documents that enabled all employees, nation-wide, to align and provide outstanding service to our customers.”</p></div>

							<p class="p1">While the idea of connecting investors to languages remains unchanged, the methodology and means needed to change. In ten years, the number of translations grew from 10 to over 900. This meant a corresponding rapid growth in investors (donors), 166 field partners (translators), and 300 staff. Internal processes were built quickly and independently to meet urgent needs. Fractures in the environment appeared in communication to the investors, funding uncertainty to translators, and unsustainable workloads to staff. As a result, the goal of adding 1,100 languages by 2025 was in jeopardy.</p><p class="p1">In March 2021, the Executive Leadership Team resolved to change the SC operating model and culture. They decided to diversify the revenue streams by introducing multiple product offerings for investors and rework internal processes to align with these offerings. Dr. Deborah was brought in to assist with these changes, especially the culture.</p>						</div>

							<div class="elementor-testimonial-content">"Our company went through an organizational-wide change initiative in 2021 that was long overdue. We interviewed multiple experts in the field and ended up selecting Dr. Deborah Jenks from Emerging Futures to work with. What a privilege it was! Deborah has an excellent background in technology and change management, but more than that, she excelled at focusing on the people-side of change. Her sensitivity to our environment was evident from the beginning, as she listened intently to understand the culture, reasons for the change, and helped us work through difficult issues with ease. Both our team and the larger staff noticed a tangible difference from other change initiatives we've done in the past, most notably, that the actions and behaviors of leaders seemed different. I believe this is a testament to her work, and one of the reasons this change initiative has been so successful. Thank you, Dr. Deborah, for working with us this year! It has been a joy to work with her, and our entire organization is better as a result." </div>
