Testimonials

"The training provided me with practical tools and solutions to obtain accurate planning forecasts to assist Schneider in delivering against day-to-day customer transportation needs"

 

 

Tina Norman, Manager - Retail Customer Service, Schneider National, Inc.

 

"The CPFR® Certification training was a tremendous opportunity to spend several days with very seasoned training professional, industry parishioners and CPFR program leaders from various industries.  Program quickly sets the stage with assessment survey of where you are, and where leading practice collaboration is and needs to be headed.   Throughout the two plus days, the instructors created the environment of where leading practice companies can improve.  This was based on various anecdotal descriptions, and case studies and discussions on various industry best and leading practices.   I highly encourage companies to ensure program leaders in the collaborative arena add this training to their key learning's requirements for those individuals that will and are transforming relationships to demand sensing environments that requires more and more data used for exception based execution and key collaboration on events that drive improved business results. "

 

Jack Watson, Sr. Director, Global Business Operations, Motorola, Inc.

For all experience levels -- from new adopters to seasoned practitioners -- this engaging program will help bring out the best in any CPFR program.
