Testimonials

Testimonial
"This is timely material that can set an IT manager above the competition”

“I like the tool and format, especially keeping it to 20 minute segments. You can always find 20 minutes for good advice. The material is right on target and moves at a fast pace. This is timely material that can set an IT manager above the competition and keep him/her focused on the important aspects of true IT management and strategic planning, and out of "react mode"

"You are providing us with valuable material and information we need in our day-to-day operations.”

“One of the most difficult situations we have as IT managers is the lack of senior managers to help us in the topics you are approaching with the presentations. You are providing us with valuable material and information we need in our day-to-day operations.”

"The length of the topics (20 minutes) suits my learning style very well.”

“The length of the topics (20 minutes) suits my learning style very well. Any longer and I begin to get distracted. I found the interface to be very usable and the replay function is great when I want to revisit a section.
