"It was great to have the up front and personal teaching
approach. It is a very complex area, but was presented and taught
with impact, enthusiasm and consideration. It was very useful to
have [the seminar leader’s] thoughts on our specific company issues
as we developed our own understanding and questions about Stage-Gate
and the portfolio management process.”
