Wendy, I just wanted to thank you for the excellent WKI training in Indianapolis! It has provided me with a solid foundation to implement within my organization. The tools are rich and very practical for insight generation and determining next steps within a fast paced business setting. In fact, I believe the “gold” in the WKI program for me was the tools themselves, they holistically funnel creative ideas into real world application. It’s all about making real impact as an innovation professional.”
