Training Resources We Think You’ll Like…
As you’d imagine, there are countless of resources, all over the internet, that provide training for one particular tool, methodology, or subject area. TSI is committed to providing you with insightful training resources, that even we would use to become better, more effective consultants.
Here are a couple recent favorites we’ve found that could be useful for you:
- Lynda.com – if you’ve never used LinkedIn’s training library before, you can sign up for a month free, and access Management Tips Weekly, by Todd Dewett, PhD, which provides hours of content, or;
- For a concept a bit more challenging, review Big Data Foundations: Building Architecture and Teams, by Alan Simon, who discusses data management and warehouses, ERP, CRM, supply chain, and more.
What Has Your Customer Experience Done for You Lately?
We’d like to thank our friends from both for-profit organizations, and colleges and universities around the U.S. (as well as Puerto Rico) for attending our Customer Experience training workshops last month. TSI trained attendees from industries like Distribution, Government, Retail Pharmaceutical, and even High Technology/Software, as well as others.Image above: a group photo from our Higher Education training workshop, focused on Enhancing Interactions with Faculty, Staff, Students, and Alumni.
