CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - February 6, 2009) - MorrisAnderson is pleased to
announce the expansion of their performance improvement practice.
Dan Dooley, principal and COO of MorrisAnderson, states, "Although we are
primarily known as a 'turnaround firm' which helps companies that are in
distress, what some people may not be aware of is that we have always
offered 'performance improvement' services as well, where we go in and help
stable companies strengthen their operations and improve their ROI." Adds
Dooley, "We have wanted to expand this area of our service offerings for
quite some time now and we are pleased to announce that we have formed an
alliance with Horizon Performance, an implementation-focused consulting
firm committed to helping clients rapidly improve their business
performance. Stan Garrison, the founder of Horizon Performance, will now
manage our performance improvement practice under the Horizon Performance
umbrella. We are all very excited that our alliance with Stan and Horizon
Performance will help us to greatly expand our performance improvement
offerings throughout the country."
