I like to read the slide decks in the pdf format. The pdfs for this course were not sufficient to learn the content.
This course provided a nice overview of safety and ergonomics in the workplace, including many best practices and tips. Several good takeaways that I can easily implement. Supporting materials were also helpful and aligned with the content presented during the course.
This course helped me to allocate the duties between controller and subordinates.
I always enjoy Neil's classes and how he teaches. His storytelling always makes the class fun and engaging. I love how simple the concepts always seem when he breaks things down. Difficult people are tough to deal with and work with, but, we always have the choice to deal with it and control ourselves, or, we let ourselves get affected by the negative emotion. But, the choice is ours.

Go explanation of strategy from the human resource management point of view.
This is a high-level overview of how to organize data analytics efforts and sell these services to the business.
This course should be at least 1.5 CPE Credit since it is 1.5 hour long
Pitched at the right level for being able to implement OD in the workplace across different levels.
Great job! I enjoyed the course and learning different techniques when listening.
This presentation emphasized theory but offered little that can be used practically. The bottom line message - contract with an OD consultant.
The course was very thorough. However, it does tend to become a bit repetitive. All HR professionals should take this course. The presenter too often mentioned the other courses.
I love Blair Cook's courses. I am in HR and not at all numbers oriented, yet I'm able to start with 0 knowledge and get 100% on the exams-GREAT instruction!
Clear explanation of the structure of the template.
Some more error rectification technique may be included in this course.
