What our Students say ...

Engaging and Practical

Michael Melenberg CMC

I took the first module of the Strategic Change by Design Certificate that Louise Harris facilitates . The course was engaging through great dialogue with Louise and the other course takers, easy to read and insightful materials, and (perhaps most importantly) practical tools. To the latter, I leveraged one of the tools on a client project within weeks of completing the course, demonstrating its practicality. I look forward to taking Modules 2 and 3 in the near future, as Change Management is integral to my consulting practice.
