Many of our services and solutions draw on our work with Stanford University faculty to develop and present the Stanford Advanced Project Management program. We have partnered with the Stanford Center for Professional Development on this groundbreaking curriculum since 1999.

Our unique partnership with Stanford has produced hard-hitting processes, practices, and techniques for effective project management.
