Dear Colleague:
In times of rapid change, we all need better tools to make our companies productive and profitable. For Thai organizations to succeed domestically and in the world economy, their leaders need ways to think, plan, and act more strategically.
As a consultant to Thai organizations over the past twenty years, I invite you to join other business leaders in Singapore on August 18-19 for a Strategic and Systems Thinking seminar. I'll be on the faculty, and will ensure that my Thai friends have a most productive learning experience.
Please email with any questions you may have. I would enjoy hearing from you.
Thanks.
Terry Schmidt,
Centre for Strategic Management
