Many of the topics concerned critical initiatives that my company is currently engaged in, therefore I was able to give it a real life perspective - not just theory. I also liked the opportunity to step outside the box of my company and meet others and hear stories about other organizations and their experiences.
I liked the opportunity to discuss "real life" issues and challenges with other HR professionals. The course leader made learning fun but also very practical so that we could take back strategies to our work environment.
The speaker knew the subject very well and was able to give lots of examples. He also gave tools that can be used in a day to day business.
The course dealt with practical applications of the theory versus a pure academic lecture. Through different scenarios, I think I have something to come back to my organization with that will work.
The topics covered and skills learned were immediately applicable to my job. I was able to return to work and analyze my department's monthly financials more effectively. I also liked Jason's style of instruction.
My organization is only now starting to use strategic planning; this course provided me with the information I need to help my departments and my division to move ahead.
I learned things that would take me years to discover or realize on the job.
