2009 Time to Take a Breath

Whew, the year is coming to an end and it's time to prepare for that Arthur C. Clark icon, 2010. Here's a quick summary of what we've been up to at Scher Progression LLC.

Fran coordinated, and developed with, her subcontractor and cadre of subject matter experts a huge certification quality course called CPIM (Certification in Production and Inventory Management). This is part of a series that will continue through 2010.

Also, she has been adding to our Quality-related consulting activity with FDA documenation work for a German-owned biotech company.

We worked together developing a course called BIM Technology (Building Information Model), which gets into state of the art construction modeling for 3D,4D, and 5D virtual buildings. Earlier in the year, we completed several projects for this same client, including an education needs analysis survey and the presentation of an education/instructional design trends workshop, that served as a team building program in its method.

I developed a course with the rather imposing title, Quality Assurance Specification Development and Validation for the Austin-based arm of a Dutch multi-national geotechnical company. We're trying to think globally and act locally.

Finally, I did a brief presentation for an Adobe User Group about some of our Captivate work.

It's not been all work, though. Fran traveled for her client to Toronto, (and I just had to tag along), and we visited some of our old Canadian haunts. Obviously, there was a lot of change since we lived there in the 1980’s, but it was really cool to revisit (I even got to meet some the Maple Leaf players!).


To our friends and clients (same thing, but redundancy is a wonderful thing), Fran and I wish you and your families a good end of the year and a healthy, safe, and prosperous new year.
