"Leading Professional Services Firms was the most inspirational, stimulating learning experience I have been involved in. I attended the program to learn about the latest thinking in professional services management and to engage with leaders from firms around the world, but I gained much more. The program continues to impact both my daily activities and the long-term aspirations I have for my firm. In fact, I feel the knowledge and skills delivered by the program were key contributing factors in the firm's recent recognition as the Best Managed Professional Services Firm in Europe as part of the MPF Annual European Practice Management Awards."
