Testimonials

"The exercises were the most helpful. I've had limited exposure to process analysis and I appreciated the case study and the chance to go through the fishbone exercise. I also liked the descriptions of the other tools for documenting and analyzing processes, and feel better equipped to function in my role as a process associate."

"I've been accustomed to attending courses in person in a classroom setting and didn't think I'd like a virtual course. My experience with the Watermark virtual course was very positive and now I'm much more open to virtual classes as a learning medium. The courses always reinforce existing processes and introduce new ways of thinking of the same things."
