"I attended the 2-day workshop "Matching Talent and Organizational Growth."  Located in a very inspiring, beautiful international location rich in culture and history, I learned how to develop an organizational map and how to estimate the availability and need for talent. It involves a growth curve and the use of the AEM-cube Model.

The workshop presents several compelling cases that directly connect theory and practice. I learned a lot from Peter's insights. The input of the other group members to my knowledge in the field of talent development and change enriched and deepened the experience. 

Thank you, Peter, for your commitment and expertise."
