Here's what our clients have to say about their experience with Grace and Associates:
Joe Grace, the President of Grace and Associates, LLC has been an extremely effective and influential contributor to our Board of Directors. He brings exceptional expertise from outside of the typical health care organization that assists us in diversifying services and integrating technologies. There are ideas, concepts and strategies being implemented outside of healthcare that can help differentiate us from the competition. Joe challenges us to be more aware of their importance and is a key player in every one of our decisions. He is a major contributor to our success as an organization.
David A. DiLoreto, MD, FACS, President, University Medical Group IPA
"Our efforts with Grace and Associates have given Evolvent an edge in the growing federal health IT market, helped us refine and target our message, and develop meaningful solutions for our clients. By focusing our story on supporting America's wounded warriors, transforming health care delivery, and bridging the chasm between health care and technology - our work with Joe Grace's team has helped propel Evolvent forward over the last two years."
Bill W. Oldham, Chairman & CEO, Evolvent
Working with Joe Grace and Grace and Associates, has had an extremely positive impact on strategic planning, market analysis, business development, and sales. I initially engaged Joe to analyze the offerings and strategic direction of an under performing business line and make recommendations for improvement. His analysis was thorough and insightful, and he recommended actionable changes to improve our competitive positioning. We substantially modified the strategic direction and offerings based upon his recommendations and have thereby become much more competitive in the marketplace. He offers his expertise to support our Department of Defense business development and sales efforts on a weekly basis and opens doors to provide us access to his government and business contacts. He also provides executive coaching to me and my senior managers to help us think creatively and question our assumptions and understanding of customer needs. His contribution to our success has been measurable, and we look forward to gaining more from our relationship in the future.
Mary G.R. Whitley, Vice President, Healthcare Solutions, ICF International. Customer Since: May 2007
"Working with Grace & Associates and their President, Joe Grace, has proven to be the difference for Stratizon Corporation. Sixteen months after incorporating, the company faced a critical inflection point involving strategic direction and market development. Joe met with our senior leadership team and challenged our thinking, compelling us to evaluate our opportunities and shape our priorities. His keen insight and salient advice was the catalyst for a renewed focus by the Stratizon team on tactical simplicity and customer development. Twelve months later, Stratizon is growing in the right direction with much of that success attributed to Joe's outstanding contribution."
Ned M. Hunter, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Stratizon Corporation, Atlanta, Georgia
Joe Grace's enthusiasm and passion for mutual success has directly contributed to our company's phenomenal growth and financial success. His keen sense of sales and marketing coupled with core business experience uncovered opportunities to grow our client base that we never even knew existed. That is the value and that is the "tiger's eye" focus on the bottom line that Joe Grace brought to the table for us. In closing, Good News is he can and will bring a fresh breath of positive and 'can-do' attitude to the front line of any organization... the Bad News is if he can't, then nobody can which is why we were able to hit the bull's eye on the first shot!!! Ready, Aim, Hire!
Joey C. Auer, joeyauer@diamonddata.com, Founding President of Diamond Data Systems, Inc.,
"Never before have I met with someone who understood my business so quickly and was able to bring the perfect resources to the table. Grace and Associates, LLC and their President, Joe Grace will always be a part of my team - they are a critical component to my management team!
Mark Spenser, President and CEO, Intelligent Machines Corp.
"Joseph (Joe) Grace" and "Technology in Louisiana". Two words that blend together as easy natural as red beans and rice and as native as gumbo. In many ways, Joe Grace was and is technology in this city and state.
For those very reasons he is identified with the successes and the challenges. Other technology councils and community organizations have modeled after the Louisiana Technology Council (formerly known as the New Orleans Technology Council) and have also achieved successes.
It would be less than candid if I wrote about Joe Grace and not publicly acknowledge our past disagreements. But, there is no denying his tenacity. There is also no ignoring his ability to bring technology issues to the table when others would rather table the discussion.
Steve Sabludowsky, BayouBuzz
