"As Director of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), from 1997 until late 2005, I led a near total transformation of the agency that involved mission refinement, analysis, and realignment of the NCIS management and organizational infrastructure. Thomas McWeeney was a partner in every aspect of these initiatives and the CSF approach was essential in shaping a robyst, impactful strategic plan that led to unprecedented success in key mission areas."

- Dave Brant, Former DIrector of NCIS

"McWeeney's strategic counsel helped me — as the United States Attorney and Chief Law Enforcement Officer for the Western District of Washington — develop an innovative and far-reaching strategic plan that significantly enhanced the performance of our law enforcement community at a critical time in our history. The case studies and lessons provided in Avoiding Disappointment will show leaders how his strategic planning moves organizations from merely creating documents to creating the change necessary to meet today's challenges.

- John McKay, Former United States Attorney, Western District of Washington

"For anyone trying to understand strategic planning, its relevance and importance for an organization, Avoiding Disappointment guides you through the process in theory, practicality, and implementation. Tom McWeeney has been instrumental and essential in helping to develop strategic plans that have transformed organizations making them relevant, effective and successful.

- Dave Szady, Former Assistant Director of the FBI for Counterintelligence

"I personally witnessed the benefits as McWeeney facilitated a major change in the FBI's National/International Terrorism and Counterintelligence programs. We move from a reactive to a proactive preventive approach in the lead up to 9/11 and in the years immediately following the attacks. His unique approach empowers the workforce but also ensures accountability for the results."

- Dale Watson, Former Executive Assistant Director of the FBI for Counterterrorism and Counterintelligence
