This 3-day workshop has been very enlightening for us. This experience that we’ve gotten with the Columbia Business program is something that we don’t get in the Pacific and we are very grateful for PTC for giving us the opportunity. What we basically learned is how to strategize properly for an organization and this is something we are going to use when we go back to our organizations. I would recommend this to any executive in management to attend every single year... It’s a no-brainer. You should always attend these kinds of programs. It helps you a lot. It’s very genuine and it’s very hands-on.

I thought it was really cool to be honest. It was very engaging... There was a lot of learning but also very dynamic activities. The networking that we did in there was also very good so I learned a lot about things that I didn’t know before and overall I thought it was very engaging.” ... “I think it’s a no-brainer, the value that you get from both being able to connect with people that you might have not connected otherwise and also get exposed to some very bright minds like the teachers that we had... those were really amazing experiences and it was overall a very informative session.

It was awesome... The passion and enthusiasm of this one was off the charts... I loved the small group setting. It was a perfect-sized amount of people that participated... The professor’s enthusiasm and the passion for the content just made it so remarkably enjoyable, they alone helped create the camaraderie in the room immediately, it was instant... investing back in yourself is really super important and this was by far one of the best events that I’ve attended in a very long time. The setting is unbelievable. The professors are off the charts. The organization and the content just hit the mark and I think it was well worth the use of my time.
