Pivotal Partners with the
ROI INSTITUTE
Pivotal established a partnership with the ROI Institute to deliver its ROI Certification Program in the Greater Washington D.C. area. The ROI Certification Program is the most comprehensive way to gain the skills, resources, and knowledge to measure the value of programs and projects of all types.Pivotal will host a certification program in 2016 targeted to the public sector. The program will consist of 2 1/2 days of in-person training augmented with independent activities before and after class. The new program is designed to support busy professionals for whom it would be difficult to be away from the office for five days while providing enhanced content. The program has the added benefit of allowing more time for reflection and practice. Stay tuned for more details. |
