“The way this course broke down and identified the specifics of the engagement process really helped me retain and use the various steps to better understand the customer’s perspective and arrive at a better resolution.”
“I really value the visual models; I learn better by looking at things rather than just listening to them. Also, getting feedback from other people in the workshop was very helpful.”
