PARTICIPANT TESTIMONIALS
"I have never attended a more intense course on services and strategy. Achieving Breakthrough Service gave me new approaches, a condensed amalgam of knowledge, and some new insights into behavior and customer satisfaction. I especially enjoyed the opportunity to meet people from different business niches and share best practices." Marcelo Gabarra [Diretor de Engenharia e Produção], Rolls-Royce Brasil Gas Turbine Services, Brazil "My primary goal in attending the Global Energy Seminar was to learn more about issues affecting my industry and to better understand how other energy companies address similar challenges. I found the case discussions and group study sessions to be particularly useful in this regard—providing valuable insights and perspectives that I would not have otherwise been exposed to." Chris Gabriel [Category Manager, Global Procurement], ConocoPhillips Company, U.S. |
