What our alumni have said:

"The workshop was insightful! It provided a simple, logical, methodical and effective approach to tie everything together. The instructors did a good job of bringing it to life. By applying PSN Symphony™ to our needs, we'll benefit from a comprehensive and integrated strategic plan across our company." Michael Balsam, VP Products & Services, Onvia Inc.

“The PSN Symphony™ method for product roadmapping really helped me to see areas where we could make significant improvements in our roadmap process. I'm finding that your approach is clear, adaptable and easy to implement. I am looking forward to using the method in our innovation efforts this year. Thanks for doing all of the hard work for me!" Tameka Brown, Innovation Capabilities, Kimberly-Clark Healthcare  

"The workshop showed me how to layout our long-term vision and the steps to getting there. I'm now able to clearly see which technologies and activities that we need to start working on today for products that may not be launched for many years. Plus, I gained a more straight-forward way to communicate the plans with our executives and business unit leaders." Evan Facher, Director, Business Development and Strategic Planning, MEDRAD Inc. 

"We implemented PSN Symphony™ immediately after our team attended the training workshop. The result was a set of product strategies that were now balanced on both our short and long-term business needs. And we didn't have to spend any time developing a process and templates."  Sam Nebiolo, Director of Product Management, McKesson APS

"I loved the workshop. The Symphony™ method was one of the most interesting and useful approaches I've seen in a long time. It will allow us to get a better handle on how our company is moving through the execution of our product and go-to-market strategies." Jim McKenzie, Director of Business Development, CombineNet

"Managing product strategy is complex and challenging for even the most experienced managers. The visual tools presented in this workshop provide a useful and structured way to deal with this complexity. I highly recommend this workshop." Shane McClelland, Director of Marketing and Market Management, Ericsson

"Most training seminars that I've attended are light in actionable content. This workshop was an exception and it definitely exceeded my expectations."  
Tim Gordon, Sr. Product Manager, Respironics Drug Delivery

"The roadmapping tools are a great way to communicate to the entire team! I love the single-page, snapshot view. Plus, the tools make it easy to get to the important details." Randy Eager, CEO, DesignAdvance Systems

"The workshop gave me the tools to help see the cause-effect relationship of changes to product and technology plans. The exercises showed me how much more effective they are than flipping through lots of pages in many documents or relying on memory.  The tools makes it easier to understand the impact of decisions, and to back them up." Brad Wyland, Manager - Enterprise Products, Vocollect

"This workshop gave me a process that can be transplanted and implemented within my company. I see it as a 'starter's kit' for our company." Fred Ferraro, Sr. Manager, ev PRODUCTS Global Product Development, II-VI Inc.

"I have worked with various elements of the product roadmapping technique in disparate forms in the past. PSN Symphony™ pulls it all together in an organized and methodical fashion.  It provides a pragmatic approach to developing product roadmaps that support the company's strategy, and a solid basis for making decisions." Rodger Fletcher, Sr. Product Manager, McKesson Automation
