What others say about Fred
To those who may seek the services of Fred Herbert I would like to endorse and highly recommend those services as he is skilled in many aspects of both large and small business development. I have worked with Fred Herbert in two different departments at ExxonMobil over the last 4 years. Last year I had Fred come in to do a departmental assessment. He spent several days meeting with many team members and then prepared a detailed strategic assessment and recommendations that he presented to the leadership team. We asked Fred to continue to work with us to implement several of the strategies he recommended. He expertly built us a new metrics system, created a project tracking system, and helped manage multiple other projects. Fred leans on his excellent communication skills, reliability, outstanding integrity and strong commitment to any company in which he works with to produce results. He performs at the top of his professional class when it comes to increasing the value and productivity of both highly technical and non-technical teams and businesses alike. I would highly recommend any organization bring Fred in to do a full strategic business assessment and use it to improve processes and profitability. Darren McDougald, ExxonMobil

I would recommend Fred as a business consultant who can quickly bring value and improvement to your organization and bottom line! Patricia Morgan, On-Point Business Support Solutions
