Reflections from our Clients

The collaborative nature of the PMCS team meant that subject matter experts and project managers were able to quickly establish a rapport that made the development and implementation of processes effective.

-- Dr. Brendan Carr,
VP Medicine, Capital Health

Pyra worked collaboratively with all the stakeholders, including our four regional municipal partners, always keeping us well informed throughout the entire process.

-- Claude O'Hara,
Executive Director,
Hants Regional Development Authority

Without PMCS, there would be no MOSH.

-- Patti Melanson,
Nurse Coordinator, Mobile Outreach Street Health

PMCS worked collaboratively with us to develop meaningful formats for the tracking of project status, progress and issues. An excellent rapport was developed early in the project that ensured that not only were the needs of the department met, but that project management best practices were being used.

-- Merv Ungurain,
Senior Consultant, NS Department of Health and Wellness,
Primary Health Care

PMCS' critical assessment and evaluation activities became an honest effort at process and outcome improvement rather than being viewed as a need to justify activities to a superior or to criticize someone else. The foundation of the collaborative partnership allowed [our] group to work to optimize the processes.

-- Paul d'Entremont,
Coordonnateur Réseau Santé Nouvelle-Écosse

As a complex academic health sciences organization nested within three entities, Karen's iterative and visionary planning approach enabled us to cultivate courageous conversation and engagement among our constituents. This bold and inclusive approach to strategic planning resulted in both a fantastic plan and a community of stakeholders deeply invested in our strategy.

"We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them."

"People who have deliberately decided to become problem solvers lead better."

"Even though you and I are in different boats, you in your boat and we in our canoe, we share the same River of Life. What befalls me, befalls you."

"Each of us was put here in this time and this place to personally decide the future of human-kind. Did you think you were put here for something less?"

"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it."
