Complete list of the participants´ statements
at the two last seminars with Robert Cooper
1. Experience of the presenter is very high with very good examples from "real life"
2. It was extremely relevant to the product-to-market process we are currently working with. It confirmed that many of our initiatives are right and we were inspired to some further optimization.
3. Det var godt med de mange "real life" case studies.
4. Robert is an engaging speaker with plenty of experience on the topic.
Everything regarding portfolio management was very relevant to me since this is one of the high priority topics for us right now.
5. The portfolio part with tools for choosing the right projects. The case stories and examples were good for illustrating the problems and showing the proportions.
6. Cooper is an excellent speaker. I liked the many examples from companies throughout the world. I also liked, that the attendees at the course were quite experienced with Stage-Gate, which gave the discussions high quality.
7. Direct contact to inventor of SG, networking.
8. The various actual cases/ examples among industries
9. It included a lot of practical guidelines and tools, plus best practices
10. It was a very focused and productive course. I come from a small & new biotech company (and we have yet to implement Stage-Gate system). So it was a great opportunity for me to learn more about the system - and in fact many of the issues that Dr Cooper addressed during the course were very applicable and helpful to improve our methods to run multiple projects in our company. Lastly both Dr Cooper and Jens Arleth were very friendly and approachable, and always dealt with any questions that we brought up during the course - Thank you very much!
1. Dr. Cooper presents brilliantly and enthusiastically
