NEW IDEAS AND NEW CONCEPTS

Our CEO Michael Pochan has taught and managed Executive Education for 11 years at Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business and the School for Computer Science.

Whether you call it Exec Ed or Lifelong Learning or Professional Development, the point is to educate working adults with 5+ years experience on new concepts so they can absorb, adopt and implement them and increase their own performance and that of your company. We follow the principles of knowles and Andragogy, i.e. "how adults learn".

A selection of our topics are:

• Software as a Strategy: How Nokia Lost the Market to Apple's iPhone
• How Engineers Can Create Greater Business Value
• Motivating Your Team to Greater Performance ( and Compensation )
• Getting Engineers to be Better Managers ( if it is possible ! )
• The Reverse Selling Process: Asking for the 'No'
• Dealing with High-Growth via Scalability
• A Lean Hiring Process
• Building the High-Performing, Self-Directed Engineering Team
• Cheaper - Better - Faster: Moving to Software Engineering Discipline

... and many more ( that we taught at Carnegie Mellon ).
