Five Questions with Bill Fournet of The Persimmon Group - Tulsa World
Bill Fournet is president and CEO of The Persimmon Group, a Tulsa-based management consulting firm. A graduate of Vanderbilt University and Oklahoma State University, he founded Persimmon in 2004 and leads the firm’s practice for business strategy, leadership development and team performance. Over the past few years, our company has grown substantially, and we have established a solid presence in public sector, oil & gas, and manufacturing. We are in the Oklahoma City, Kansas City, and Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, markets — and are expanding our client base in those areas, as well as evaluating additional locations. Most companies know us for our project management and training services, but over the past five years, we have been developing and expanding our capabilities in strategic planning, leadership and organizational effectiveness. I have seen a number of clients recognize and realize the value of project management in sectors where it wasn’t traditionally a priority. To me, a company’s leadership determines how successful project management techniques and processes will be applied — and over the past few years, I have seen a real shift in leadership teams toward it.
