Clients
Mark, I thought you did an exceptional job with a group that had difficulty understanding its past, present, and future. I loved your frequent comment "Do we have 80% of what there is." That certainly moved things along. I believe we have a great start. [...] will move things along and as a result the Council Forum will become much more productive. Thanks for a great job.
You did a terrific job getting a diverse and independent group to agree on some important issues. It was a pleasure to see you in action.
I thought that you handled the difficult task of mediating between the CPC and the board with extraordinary delicacy and effectiveness. Most impressive.
Mark, your work is truly amazing.

What a great job you have done leading that organization to new heights!

Clear thinking, strong leadership and extremely high energy characterize the skills Mark has brought to his work on the Board of Directors of the Institute Of Management Consultants, USA. I am confident that these traits, plus his ability to work constructively with a broad range of people, also characterize the skills he applies to his consulting engagements. I highly recommend him.
Mark personally led IMC’s DC chapter from aimless drift to vibrant excellence—the finest in the US, by several measures. He then applied the same passion, creativity, and skills to his service as Ethics Chair and Vice Chair of the Board at the national level. He has done more to elevate the standards and status of the management consulting profession than anyone I know.
A tireless consultant who gets outstanding results in any project he takes on. A model Board member who always exceeds exectations. Sees the larger vision and then builds consensus to take the group in the right direction. I highly recommend him.
Mark Haas has a great sense of humor, his integrity is beyond reproach, he is industrious, altruistic and a decent golfer, yet these are not even his greatest qualities. Mark has an incredible wealth of knowledge of organizations, their dynamics and how to improve their operations, productivity and teamwork. As the president of the DC metro chapter of the Institute of Management Consultants, in less than a year he has renergized and revamped our chapter to a level that amazes us all. Our membership has increased dramatically, the programming is incredible and our vision and focus for the future is well crafted and visible. As the president he has worked harder than any single member for our mutual success yet does not seek personal recognition or glory. He places the interest of the organization first.
