The Challenge<\/p>\n

“<\/b>I am very pleased with 4Forward\u2019s work. They were exceptionally collaborative, flexible, and client-focused. They went to great lengths to customize their products and services to our needs, and seemed driven to fully understand our business needs and environment.“<\/b><\/p>\n

The Process<\/p>\n

We researched, designed and developed five skills-based two-day workshops, creating the facilitator guides and participant manuals for each workshop.
