Project Portfolio Manager, GECU
I had the privilege of attending the ROI Certification both in person and virtually, and while both experiences were valuable, the in-person sessions provided an unparalleled depth of learning. Being there in person allowed for deeper engagement, interactive discussions, and the opportunity to ask questions in real-time, making the learning experience far more impactful than what could be achieved online.
