Recommendations “Bryce is one of the most versatile and professional people I know! His new company, Versatile Solutions, captures his wide range of skills. While supporting my Brand and Communications Consulting practice at Harris Interactive, he spearheaded some very creative approaches through his development of Sharepoint sites to keep our global group completely connected. His deep knowledge of research, both qualitative and quantitative, made him a completely unique asset in the company, as there was not another person whose ability and experience spanned the research and technology disciplines quite like Bryce. HIs research knowledge was especially evident in his masterfully written case studies that led to almost all of our 16 David Ogilvy Awards for Advertising Excellence. Bryce is a valuable asset to every project he touches, and can always be counted upon to deliver creative solutions to any business problem that confronts him. Because he is such an incredible colleague, and ultimate collaborator, he was always in great demand by teams across the company. I would be very pleased to discuss his unique talents further!” Judy Ricker , Division President , Harris Interactive "Bryce Bassett worked with and for me for 15 years. During that time I was able to observe, and often be the beneficiary of, his professionalism, initiative, creativity and quality approach to everything he did. He did not just meet expectations, he far exceeded them on a regular basis. I was most pleased and impressed when I (often) provided him with just a germ of an idea, and he would shortly come back with a masterpiece that was exactly what I was searching for, but couldn't quite fully express. Bryce is multi-talented, but single-minded, in his approach to serving his 'clients". And, he's fun to work with and be around as well." Jim Granger, President, WirthlinWorldwide “I have worked with Bryce in various capacities over the 10+ years I worked at Wirthlin/Harris. We have worked across a range of initiatives together and Bryce has been an essential connection for me as I worked within the organisation to grow the business in a range of overseas markets. His depth of knowledge, great business sense, high level of professionalism shone throught the various areas in which we worked. Bryce's sense of initiative is unwavering.” Elizabeth Kehler , Business Development Director , Harris Interactive “I had the opportunity to work with Bryce on several strategic initiatives while he was at Harris Interactive. Bryce was often the catalyst for change, recognizing a need or gap in the current state; and always made significant contributions throughout the process of driving and implementing change to get to the desired state. I was impressed with his ability to efficiently and skillfully take an idea and make it a reality – often going beyond expectations. And above all, Bryce always had a positive, can do attitude that made it a pleasure to work with him. I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.” Karen Chiarelli , SVP Research Consultant , Harris Interactive “Bryce overcame numerous obstacles to continuously improve our knowledge management resources and client facing applications. I would recommend Bryce for any position that requires exceptional technical writing skills and the ability to effectively communicate complex technical information across a diverse audience. He takes total ownership of issues until they’re resolved, and always presents a collaborative attitude.” Chris Kuever , Vice President, Technical Sales , Harris Interactive “Bryce Bassett is the most level headed marketing professional I have ever met and I personally and professionally grew from working with him. Bryce is exceptional at understanding the marketing and sales strategies that are necessary to grow the business. Beyond his intuition and ability to see the big picture, Bryce is an implementer at heart. At Harris, Bryce was the go-to-guy for the projects that seemed to big to manage, to hard to implement and involved too many parts of the organization that just did not work well together. Bryce has a unique style and a way with people that worked through barriers and completed the hardest of projects. It was my goal, while in marketing at Harris to follow his lead, and achieve the type of marketing strategies that only Bryce could do. Beyond implementation, Bryce is a very strong and disciplined writer. Any organization would benefit from having Bryce on board in a marketing, project management or team leadership role. I would certainly welcome an opportunity to work with Bryce again.” Jason Butka , Director of Marketing , Harris Interactive “I had the opportunity to work with Bryce in a cross-functional manner over the past three years. He provided support to the company’s full spate of Solutions managers. As our paths began to intersect, I started to rely increasingly on Bryce because of his “can do” attitude. His style is to approach issues from a problem-solving perspective rather than a task-executing one. Bryce always seems to get the big picture, but never loses sight of how important the details are. If I were to build a company from scratch, I might want to make Bryce the model for all those I hire. He possesses a very effective combination of tenacity, patience, competency and humility that enable him to work through even the most challenging problems with alacrity and good nature. He is reliable, thoughtful, pragmatic and energetic. To highlight this point, each year awards are bestowed on select individuals who most contribute to the company’s success. At the very pinnacle of those awards is one from the Chairman. Bryce received the CEO’s Award for Excellence in 2007. Any manager lucky enough to have Bryce on his or her team will quickly understand how rare an individual Bryce is and how fortunate they are to have him.” Peter Gold , SVP - Product Solutions , Harris Interactive “I have thoroughly enjoyed my long association with Bryce. His close attention to detail insures projects focus on the right thing at the right time and maintain momentum. He is high class and high caliber in all he touches. Knows how to get things done. Highly qualified in the areas of knowledge management and sharing!” Dee Allsop , President, Harris Interactive Solutions Groups , Harris Interactive “Bryce is a class act. He can always be counted on to deliver. Although he worked in the Mountain time zone, he was always available to work "East Coast" hours when we needed him. Bryce is a team player that is always looking out for the best in everything and everyone. I enjoyed his professional acquaintance greatly.” Paul Wilson , Operations Manager , Harris Interactive “Bryce is terrific in designing solutions that allowed me to increase firm revenue. He automated templates for me in word, powerpoint and sharepoint that made my documents look better and be able to be produced in less time.” David Baron , Vice President , Harris Interactive “Bryce is a highly organized person that leaves no small detail to chance. He is dedicated to finding not just a solution but the correct solution. If that requires adapting a new learning approach or software he does not avoid the challenge but meets it straight on. Bryce is very receptive to others ideas and works in a collaborative manner to achieve the best results, recognizing everyone's input. He is a committed and dependable worker and cares about putting his best effort into everything he does. I would highly recommend Bryce as a great addition to any team.” Sue Hauck , Corporate Art Director , Harris Interactive “Bryce is the ideal person you want in your corner when you have too many initiatives going on and not enough time to manage them all closely enough. He is a terrific team player and bridge-builder. Between those personal qualities and his passion for knowledge management he is an invaluable asset to any organization.” Stephan Sigaud , Group President, Solutions Research Practices , Harris Interactive “Bryce was a technolgy leader for us here at Harris Interactive. He was very forward thinking in regard to how we could all communicate better. He would be a wonderful asset for anyone looking to find someone who can relate to all people and pay attention to even the smallest details. I consider it a priviledge to have worked with him and highly recommend him.” Ken Lethbridge , Qualitative Research Manager , Harris Interactive “Bryce is effective, creative and impactful. For example, I'll never forget a presentation he made where he reinforced the key points with juggling tricks. I remember the topic and points years later. He is also visionary and facile using technology to achieve strategic goals. He would be a huge asset to any organization.” John Kennedy , Senior Vice President, Team Leader , Wirthlin Worldwide “I've worked with Bryce for over 15 years on a variety of projects, many involving writing and quite a few involving the development of something new. Aside from being a pleasure to work with, Bryce is one of those folks you can count on to take initiative, engage and solicit ideas, take suggestions and build on them to achieve a great product. Bryce has a substantial array of accomplishments he can take credit for in a variety of creative and production areas. He seeks challenges. On top of all that, he's a great juggler ... really.” Dave Richardson , President , WirthlinWorldwide “Bryce is quite simply the best knowledge management professional I have ever worked with. We worked together for several years and I was frequently impressed by his ability to find answers to seemingly any question.” Mark Stapylton , SVP & Senior Consultant , Harris Interactive “I have worked with Bryce for more than 10 years. He has proven himself as a creative and dedicated executive who delivers what he promises and then some. I strongly recommend him for anyone looking for innovative solutions to tough problems.” Vince Breglio , Executive Vice President , WirthlinWorldwide “Bryce Bassett approaches everything he undertakes with creativity, dedication and selflessness. I worked with Bryce at Wirthlin Worldwide, and subsequently at Harris Interactive for 11 years. He was always looking for ways to make a positive contribution to the company's marketing efforts and to each of us who was working to sell and service clients. Bryce's innovations helped all of us leverage the company's expertise more effectively and efficiently. Indirectly he had a hand in millions of dollars of sales.” Patricia Kidd , Vice President , WirthlinWorldwide |
