(Colleague with American Society for Quality)
"Doug teaches internet and classroom-based courses for ASQ. The courses that Doug teaches for ASQ are Cost of Quality: Finance for Continuous Improvement and Measuring Process and Organizational Performance. Participants in these classes rate Doug’s experiences, teaching and subject areas at very high levels. He teaches with a high degree of energy and expertise. His presentations are clear and concise. Doug demonstrates very good class management skills, which can be challenging to a facilitator in a virtual environment. Doug makes certain prepares for every class he teaches and this preparation shows through his work as a highly rated instructor. Participants have indicated the skills and knowledge that they learn in his classes are easily implementable. I certainly would recommend him for any training in these topic areas. "
