Testimonials

"I employed the services of OnBoard Consulting to conduct reviews of a number of personnel within my school. While being a rigorous and detailed process, the candidates acknowledged at all stages of the consultation that the process was fair, balanced and open. Importantly I believe the candidates appreciated the process as an important learning opportunity for each of them. The reviews provided me with valuable information and feedback enabling me to make informed decisions regarding the future management and leadership of the school. At all times I found David Robson to act with integrity and transparency, traits that are critical for the success of such an important process, on both sides of the fence." - Mr Don Grimmett, Principal, Investigator College South Australia.

"I found the OBC Review to be a very comfortable and valid process. I have been involved in numerous performance management reviews in my 15 years as a Principal and Deputy Principal. I found this one to be the most effective in highlighting what I did well, and providing honest, useful feedback in areas in which I needed to grow. I found that the opportunity to speak to David after the feedback phase was significant, as it provided a time for discussion of the outcomes, both positive and negative, in a constructive and meaningful way. It provided me with a means of planning my professional and personal development in response to this. My Staff who participated in the review felt that the professional way in which it was conducted gave them the freedom to be honest and constructive." - Ms Jane Wadham, Principal (Primary).

"David Robson came into a very unpleasant and volatile situation at my school. A person in a leadership position had upset a number of staff, and the situation had escalated to a point where I had to take action. I remembered filing an OnBoard Consulting letter some months previously, so I made contact. I have nothing but praise for the way in which David Robson conducted the review. Although the person in question resigned some months afterwards, the parting was amicable; the original situation had been largely defused. It occurred to me at the time that the outcome could have been much worse had I not used a resource such as OnBoard Consulting." - Independent School Principal, Victoria.
