Michael,
Hi, how are you? Could you offer such a course in Tokyo, too? Let's really
make it global.
I also want to find out about PM trainigs in the US. I just went to a
course offered by a company called ISP and it was really professional and
well put together (unfortunately, they only have courses in English). I was
wondering if there are any other courses. I might be in charge of helping
PMs in my company to get proper trainings in my next job. Any suggestions?
How is Six Sigma? Any opinion appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Kaori
