Email me if you are not sure which event might best meet your professional development needs as I have been to most of them and know all of the instructors.  Finally, of the four courses I teach, I most enjoy  Critical Thinking in Converting.  Many of my students who have taken my other courses believe that this industrial problem-solving short course is the most interesting and and the most useful.  What would qualify me to teach industrial problem solving?  Well, for starters, I have written two books on the subject and taught it to hundreds of students.  More to the point, problem-solving is mostly what I do for a living.  I have been in nearly 1,000 plants working on some of the toughest problems in industry.  Learn street-smart techniques not taught elsewhere from someone who walks the talk.  However, first we need to get the course on the AIMCAL curriculum for '12.  Email me with your thoughts.
