Going Global!

What do Italy, Spain, Jacarta, El Salvador, Washington, Chicago, and Wisconsin have in common? These were some of the locations of the participants for our online program that took place Monday and Tuesday of last week. The purpose of the program, on behalf of our client APICS (The Association for Operations Management), was to validate the outline, objectives, and content for a new series of instructor-led workshops. We worked with international supply chain expert Dave Jankowski, providing the instructional design for Dave's content.

We virtually walked through one of the workshops (in a series of five) about how businesses go about doing international sourcing. Our audience was made up of other subject matter experts and trainers from around the world. They gave us great (and very positive!) feedback on the program.

This series, and the design of the international workshops we created for the Council of Residential Specialists and TRO, offers some very nice business curricula. We really enjoy international audiences. I guess all of that travel and living outside of the U.S. has come in handy. And adding the virutal classroom to the mix sure beats having to fly in for programs.
