What our trainees say

ASTAR_Icon_Business-19

[The Green Compass™ course] helped us assess our company’s state of sustainability across different dimensions and quantify our sustainability efforts. We determined potential areas for tangible improvement focusing on organisation, product life cycle, supply network and operations, which helps with the transformation of a more sustainable business.

Mr Pardhu Vemulamada,
Head (Digital), Durapower Holdings
Attended the "Sustainability Transformation through Green Compass™" course in Year 2022

ASTAR_Icon_Business-19

I liked that the course is very hands-on, and it takes everyone through an complete OTR process albeit very condensed. The lessons, tools and frameworks provided were very helpful to reinforce the OTR process. The trainers were also very engaging and open to sharing their own facilitation and OTR experience.

Jeff knows his stuff and has been very helpful in guiding us through the details and intricacies of a good OTR process.

Mr Jonathan Pua,
Attended the "WSQ Strategic Technology and Operation Road Mapping - M1" course  in Year 2021

ASTAR_Icon_Business-19

Well organised and systematic in the course delivery.

Mr Jason Teo,
Attended the "Digital Leadership" course in 2021
