Praise for the workshop

“I was very excited about some of the concepts introduced during the workshop. Within one week I was presenting key ideas to our Executive Staff and leading a very productive discussion about how we can begin putting them to work in our organization.”
Henry T. Ferguson, Vice President, Internet Strategies, Coaxis Inc.

Praise for preston's ground breaking work on flexible development

“Speed has always been a critical element in the product design process. But as Preston Smith points out, one must be extraordinarily flexible as well in one's development and innovation process. In the light-speed world we live in today, as Smith so poignantly points out, one's ability to use intelligent, knowledge-based flexibility is an imperative to winning each day, every day.”
Michael D. Thieneman, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Whirlpool Corporation

“Preston provides exeptionally detailed treatment of techniques to help any program manager lead difficult, constantly changing projects. His many examples show how these tools work in the real world.”
Jim Callahan, OMO, Senior Program Manager, C-Cor
