CTD - AMA Award Win

The American Marketing Association recognized Kellogg Brown & Root's (KBR) success with it's PEARL GTL pitch to Shell. The Pearl Pitch win was the largest single project award for KBR. The pitch presentation concept was devised & coached by CTD's Ken Davis.

Quote This, our most creative high-stakes pitch ever was conceived of by Ken Davis. It was the largest project ever bid by KBR, $US8billion, & we could spare no effort in achieving a successful outcome. Ken's ideas on how to deliver the most persuasive message to this key customer were right on and we blew them away. Needless to say we were awarded the contract.' Said Cheryl Chartier, Global Director-Proposals, 'when facing a high stakes pitch for a must-win project at KBR we call Ken Davis. His level of commitment to our success as an organization is unwavering. He works tirelessly with each member of our team to ensure that they are prepared to deliver a message to the best of their ability. The value he brings is in his passion to coach my teams to successful awards. End Quote

QuoteSuccessful companies have secret weapons. Ours is called CTD.

We’ve continuously worked with CTD through its principal director Ken Davis, almost non-stop since 2005, on a varied portfolio from must-win projects to marketplace strategy documents.

On almost each occasion we’ve been successful when working with Ken. World-class projects that we won, involving Ken’s skills, include the Pearl Gas-to-Liquids project in Qatar, the LNG Train 7 Project in Nigeria, and the Gorgon LNG as well as the Browse LNG projects in Australia.

Ken’s principal skills centre on:

  • In-depth understanding of our client requirements and translating them into action plans.
  • Enabling people, through coaching, to draw upon their own internal resources they didn't realise they had.
  • Project managing complicated client presentations.
  • Knowing what works and what doesn’t work when it comes to pitching for new business.

I have no hesitation in recommending CTD and Ken Davis. This is money so well spent. End Quote

QuoteFollowing the acquisition of Catalyst Interactive by KBR in 2009, Catalyst turned to Ken Davis to help foster an awareness of our capability within KBR’s international resources business and to help establish the organisation as an international training supplier. Ken relocated to Houston and focused his energies on helping KBR better understand the 3D visualisation and training capability that they now had access to.

As a direct result, within a year, Catalyst is now involved in the delivery of training and 3D simulation services for some of the world’s largest construction and defence projects and is recognised as an innovator within the industry. End Quote
