Our success at Ivy Sea, Inc. (formerly InnoVision Communication, IVC) isn't just measured by the fun we have or the passion we feel for our work, but also how effective we are with and for our clients and in the world at large. Here are the types of kudos we've earned from our clients over the years, and a few of the awards & kudos we've earned for this web site: "I’ve known and admired Jamie Walters for many years. Her brainchild, Ivy Sea, along with her unique perspectives and insights, provide the fuel for our continuing dialogue on progressive organizations and the requisite communications strategies that will bring them to fruition. As an organizational psychology scholar, I eagerly anticipate my encounters with Jamie to share her latest visionary observations." TH, Senior Consultant, PG&E "In a business climate that requires a combination of lightening speed, focus and being right on target, Ivy Sea is the best company I have worked with. I always feel like my project is their top priority. They are flexible, creative and unshakable in their commitment to deliver a top quality product on time each and every time." D.K., Financial Operations, Agilent Technologies
"Integrity is the hallmark of Tom's professional performance and contribution. He remains clear-sighted and focused through his intention of delivery, and he brings a remarkable depth of perception and talent to all his endeavors. I value Tom's expertise through his ingenuity, inspiration, clarity, thoughtfulness, and ability to translate theory into meaningful business processes and best-practice solutions." — M.F., Senior Leadership and Management Consultant, FHLB "Ivy Sea quickly grasped our communication needs. They are responsive, supportive, quick, creative and thorough. Our brainstorming sessions have produced fun and innovative ways to promote crucial, but sometimes dull, information. I have every confidence that our awareness campaign will be a huge success." C.L., Information Security Services, Charles Schwab "When I think of Ivy Sea, the following things come immediately to mind: smart, perceptive, good humored, responsive, experienced, resourceful, strategically-focused, detail-oriented, honest, fast, respect process yet deliver results - very good results. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them." A.J., Senior Communications Representative, Georgia Pacific Corporation "Our project was on an extremely tight deadline with a cap on available hours and our second consultant wasn’t nearly productive enough. When the dust settled, Tom basically did the work of two people without working much overtime, allowing us to deliver on schedule and budget. His efficiency and effectiveness were so impressive." K.B., Operations Director, Robert Half International "Ivy Sea’s "Solution Session" coaching and preparation support helped me prepare for a very important board meeting. Whether it was providing counsel on dealing with difficult personalities or effective facilitation, preparing flip charts or just offering words of wisdom and encouragement, their energy and support made a real difference. They helped me handle a difficult meeting with greater confidence." K.E., Executive Director, Teen Inspiration, Youth in Arts "Our brainstorming session went really well. Jamie is a talented facilitator and really helped us stay focused. We were all impressed with how much she absorbed and understood about our organization from just a brief meeting and a pile of background documentation. She is a consummate professional!" J.H., Director, California Society of CPAs
"Ivy Sea stepped into a very complex business scenario requiring a multipronged strategy to communicate with diverse and large groups during a major change process. Ivy Sea quickly learned our message and strategy, and helped develop and implement a communications plan. The plan included multiple media and printed deliverables, and was executed in a short period of time. Navigating through uncertainty and ambiguity with a good communications plan helps to avoid icebergs and titanic reactions! My thanks to Ivy Sea for their good work." C.W., PharmD, Pharmaceutical Operations, Kaiser Permanente California
"My experience with Ivy Sea has been exceptional. I have never encountered better customer service anywhere. Ivy Sea is collaborative and highly responsive (no matter how last minute or difficult the request). It's been a pleasure to work with Ivy Sea!" D.B., Manager, Gap, Inc.
"My experience with Ivy Sea has been fantastic. They have their finger on the pulse of technology and have an articulate way with words. Their communication skills are flawless. If I have a need, they are immediately responsive. They continually strive for excellence and achieve it 100% of the time." T.N., Manager, Harbinger Corporation "What I've valued most about working with Ivy Sea is that I can just tell them what I need, provide the bare minimum of information and they take it from there - start to finish - so I don't have to worry about it." A.Q., Vice President, Autodesk "Changes happen all the time in our business. Every time we've experienced change, Ivy Sea has responded efficiently and effectively. Knowing we can count on them makes our relationship that much stronger and their services more valuable." D.P., Communication Manager, Mervyn's "Ivy Sea really came through for us on very short notice, and quickly got up to speed on the overt and subtle aspects of our standardization project. It took a lot of intuition and careful listening on their part to make that happen. Because of their work we were able to ‘jump-start’ the project." T.J., Chevron Information Technology Company "Ivy Sea's comprehensive communications plan created a blueprint for a successful and sustainable public awareness campaign. Their benchmarking of corporate web sites provided the intelligence we needed to target our major audiences with noteworthy content tailored to their needs. The Pacific Telesis web site won over a dozen awards and accolades over the past two years." B.H., Director, Pacific Telesis "I had been familiar with the quality of Ivy Sea's work for several years. Then, on a marketing project for a new service launch, they not only met my accelerated deadline (less than a week!), they were so responsive, intuitive and comprehensive that I reflected on my own client-focus approach, and I differentiate myself by my own superior customer service! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ivy Sea to my clients for any of their communication needs." S.T., Apexion Technologies
"Ivy Sea is one of the few consultants that provided value to a project immediately. They quickly learned about our redesign project, synthesized stakeholder concerns, and developed a communication plan and materials. Ivy Sea lightened the workload of our project managers and team members, and coordinated extremely well with our internal communication staff to integrate project communication with our corporate communication effort. They did great work coming in midway through the project...which speaks to how effective they would be at the very start." J.S., New Practice Models Project, The Permanente Medical Group "Ivy Sea—and specifically President Jamie Walters—really goes well beyond providing 'communication expertise'. One of the things KP clients value highly about Ivy Sea is their perspective of offering business solutions through good communication. I wouldn't hesitate to send Jamie to any client within my organization." K.B., Vice President, Kaiser Permanente California Ivy Sea is the one group that truly makes my job easier. It's a pleasure working with them on our Users Conference projects -- they really keep me on track and make my job of managing these multiple projects "a piece of cake"! K.K., Events Specialist, Harbinger Corporation |
