Client Experience The First Media OSS planning workshop was very well prepared and facilitated. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Manager, Network Management Planning The RPSS time box was by far the best run to date. The workshop process allowed us to focus on our requirements and formulate the concepts necessary to solve the RPSS publishing content problem, rather than conducting just the Rational Unified Process. Manager, Retail Support The product & pricing requirements analysis workshop was one of the most effective processes I have been involved in for a number of years. Manager, Retail Products A good day today - the concepts are falling into place and we are achieving and see we are achieving and progressing. Manager, OH&S The feedback from my staff for the 2 day workshop has been very positive and it seems Stephan worked them hard and facilitated strongly and left people with a sense of high value for their time spent. Well done, a good start on the way to the first deliverable! Director, Major Hazards Division I wanted to thank you for all your efforts on the project. I certainly have learned a lot. Publishing Manager, Lifestyle
