I had great experiences collaborating with TAC4 while I was a Senior Manager at MCM CPAs & Advisors LLP. When I took the role of Director of Finance & Accounting with KY AGC/SIF, I knew I could use their unique and tailored experiences for our large transition accounting & system needs. The TAC4 team has valued expertise ranging anywhere from project management, systems implementation, regulatory compliance, and CFO services. With TAC4 on our side, I know the Fund is setting itself up for future success and growth.
TAC4’s approach to defining a culture is incredible and effective. Our company Echo will guide us into our next 75 years in business by providing a consistent message for both our employees and customers. Alan’s passion for his work is contagious and we applaud his efforts and vision.
For our culture, for our company, our decision to engage TAC4 was a great decision.
TAC4 really helped by leading us through an extensive process of choosing a financial system vendor. TAC4 went through the same process with an implementation partner review to help us get the right fit for our unique company.
Absolutely the best program in which I have participated. Finally, after 30 plus years in leadership, I have a set of ground rules to lead teams and after 10 years of owning a company, our purpose and values are clear.
Alan is a master facilitator… he led our leadership team through a two-day retreat that was the most meaningful of my career. I would recommend Alan, TAC4 and its services to ANYONE needing to improve their organization.

The past two days have been the most exhilarating, difficult, and effective days of my administrative career, and certainly with the team about whom I care so deeply. I honestly can’t accurately reflect what your kindness and faith driven directness have meant to our team and to me personally. Make no mistake, the process you have put together is a good one. With that said, in you there is light… which develops trust quicker than I have ever witnessed. In two days, I can relay the impact that your trust and care has had on the trajectory of the people on our team, literally for every person at the table. I honestly believe you have changed our lives, certainly mine. I truly believe that we will, for the first time, be putting significantly more of our energy into being effective and supporting each other.
This is the first time we’ve ever used a partner like TAC4 and it made a huge difference. They’ve been a huge help with the whole implementation process which included choosing the vendor and data and business design in changing a system this large for our company. For our culture, for our company, our decision to engage TAC4 was a great decision.

The Project Accelerator week was important to us because everybody got on board with all the reasons we were doing the project. TAC4 really pulled us together as a team and we had clear direction for execution as we moved into our project.
The project management combined with the change management combined with the ability to help you architect sets TAC4 apart.
TAC4 helped us architect and design, and helped us figured out what we needed.
TAC4 are really good people and maybe this is the biggest differentiator: they really feel like part of our team. I don’t think about them as a consulting company anymore. I think about them as part of our team, and I think about them that way because they have as much genuine interest in the positive outcome of this project as any single person on our team.
I think the change management that TAC4 helped us through was huge. I also think having someone who keeps you going and keeps you accountable contributed positively to our project. We have fun with the project even though it’s hard work.
TAC4 did a great job of helping us architect from a technical standpoint, from an accounting standpoint, and helping us overall to architect this solution.

Several of our Kindred employees have gained knowledge/skills and improved productivity based on Alan Claypool’s presentations.
The 9GR presentation was a great way for us to start off the new school year and it provided a frame of reference for how we do things at Southern Oaks when we get off track.
The most noticeable change for me, after attending the Nine Ground Rules for Cohesive Team Behavior® with TAC4, is reduction of the ‘blame game’. Using the ground rules I make a conscious effort to investigate the process instead of jumping to a ‘who’s to blame’ mindset. I’ve also found myself acting as mediator and buffer between other parties in trying to keep the focus on the ‘process’ not the ‘person’.
TAC4 training is the most ‘real’ development training I’ve encountered. The information learned while discovering the Nine Ground Rules for Cohesive Team Behavior® continues to serve me each hour of each day. Actual scenarios to demonstrate and aid participants work/step through the ground rules one-by-one are, in my opinion, the key to successfully learning to apply the rules day-in and day-out no matter where a person may be. The fact that these ground rules are truly based upon the best of all rules – “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you” – zeros in straight to the heart of every miscommunication and difficult situation. Being able to contact you with further questions and assistance in applying the principles even after training is completed has also been invaluable. Thank you, TAC4 for making a genuine impact!
I have been working with my kids on the Nine Ground Rules for Cohesive Team Behavior®. Yesterday my nine year old said to my six and 12 year olds, ‘Someone needs to get out of the box or we are all going to keep fighting!’ I was so proud of him and I realized that repeating these steps over and over again really works with the kids. I think parents can benefit from the steps of the Nine Ground Rules for Cohesive Team Behavior® because children are narcissistic. This guides a parent and child through a process to reveal the other person’s side of the argument. What a fantastic gift to offer small minds early in life!!!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
The Sound Of Clarity gave me the ability know where to find the right person for our team. With the core values being how we live, we knew what type of person we wanted, how to make the ask, and where to make the ask. When you have clarity, processes become easier.
Even our skeptics saw the value of the Nine Ground Rules for Cohesive Team Behavior® and were soon engaged in working together to build a healthier, stronger organization. Alan and Donna skillfully introduced the nine ground rules with real-world examples and humor. We’re still using them to guide us, and the nine ground rules apply to every facet of our lives, from the workplace to family life to community involvement.

Our time with Alan and our commitment to what he taught us has been transformational.
The Nine Ground Rules for Cohesive Team Behavior® have become the cultural norms that guide all interpersonal communication within the district. There are times when we slip up, but ground rule #8 (Create Accountability among the Team) gives all employees freedom to steer the team back to the established norms.
Absolutely the best program in which I have participated. Finally, after 30 plus years in leadership, I have a set of ground rules to lead teams and after 10 years of owning a company, our purpose and values are clear.
The Nine Ground Rules for Cohesive Team Behavior® were impactful for my colleagues. Listen to them, learn them, apply them. It will change your life and your company’s success.
