Pencorp are leaders in the use of Oral Debriefing techniques in management development, succession planning and post-implementation reviews, and the production of corporate histories.
World Business Forum, Paris Professor Alfred Chandler, Harvard University: "I’m indeed impressed by your work and methodology." Professor Malcolm McDonald, Cranfield School of Management: "I am fascinated by your approach and originality." Sir Peter Parker, former chairman, British Rail: "I am struck by the innovative ideas of what you are doing." Sir Campbell Adamson, chairman of Abbey National: "Without exception all acclaim it as a first rate piece of work of the highest standard which more than meets the original expectations." Professor Gerald Vinten, President of the Institute of Internal Auditors, U.K. & Ireland: "Your technique [EBM] places business history consultancy right at the centre of organisational effectiveness and strategic need. The technique has real potential to win through, to save significant expenditure, and to lead to sustainable and long-lasting improvement." Management Decision journal: ".... innovative. It is refreshing and exciting to see such a useful application [Overlap]." Sir Nigel Mobbs, chairman of Slough Estates: "We must congratulate Pencorp on the efficient way the whole business was conducted." Russell Williams, Sunderland Business School: "Pencorp champions experiential learning and convincingly challenges the popular notion that the flexible labour market, alone, is the corporate remedy for today's fast pace of change. The company has also innovated both the concept of corporate amnesia and some resourceful management tools for capturing organisations' valuable and hard-earned knowledge that is routinely forgotten or otherwise walks out of the front door when employees leave." Allan Brown, British Computer Society: "I would like to think I have become a convert. I have seen the evidence of corporate amnesia a number of times, including my present assignment." Professor John Pheby, Department of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, Luton Business School: "Arnold Kransdorff is a very original and interesting speaker. I have heard him speak on a number of occasions and have always been impressed by the insightful nature of his talks. He has much of interest to state and his novel ideas will shortly become the new conventional wisdom." Paul Hyde-Thomson, chairman of Ibstock Johnsen: ".... a marvelous achievement. I have heard nothing but praise from all quarters." William J. Brookes, branch chairman, Institute of Management (IoM):.”I have always found Arnold Kransdorff’s lectures, discussions and ad-hoc conversations stimulating and thought provoking. In these days of ‘downsizing’ and ‘flattening the organisation’, with its middle management emphasis on youth rather than experience, I feel that his message is both timely and significant. It we do not follow his advice large sections of our management heritage will disappear and we will be continually ‘re-inventing the wheel.’” USEFUL LINKS
