“The program actually
exceeded my expectations. The program did
an excellent job focusing our team and allowed
us to develop not only a demonstration of
a concept which we were having difficulty
communicating clearly with Boeing, but also
a Strategy Level business case that will be
briefed twice this week with Boeing (corporate
phantom works and Military Aerospace Support
Strategic Business Council). Outstanding job
of facilitation and we all enjoyed the process
and motivation it brought to our diverse team!”

“What happens
when a group of IT brainiacs and senior sales
and operations hot shots get together for
a week? It could have been tentative posturing
and trivial solutions. Somehow, the group
functioned at a level of honesty, insight,
and productivity that will REDEFINE MOST of
our current business processes. This was not
even my executive staff! How could this group
turn out to be so smart and I never realized
it before?”

“The workshop actually
exceeded my expectations. The workshop did
an excellent job aligning a diverse set of
employees from our operations, technology,

produce a cohesive vision. In five days, the

the solution with a high-level implementation
roadmap. Outstanding job of facilitation and
pushing the envelope. We all enjoyed the process
and innovative results of the workshop.”

“A CTE workshop
is a great way to jumpstart new application
development! In just three weeks, it aligned
our business, IT, and end users on the goals
and requirements for the application. In addition,
the team prepared a comprehensive business
case, a prototype, an executive briefing,
and a spiral-based implementation roadmap.
While at the Center of Innovation, the team
was exposed to truly out-of-box thinking which
has breathed new life into our organization.
The workshops saved us months in requirements
gathering and in aligning the user community,
and boosted our morale. We’ve institutionalized
CTE’s workshop approach for all new
application development.”

“Automating certain
aspects of the clinical drug trial process
results in a remarkable reduction in time
to market and drug development costs. It will
reduce costs, but on a broader level, it will
provide us with a way to significantly expedite
our development processes, increasing the
numbers of medications we can provide to a
public that is more and more in need of them.
With the software solution, Pfizer expects
that each clinical drug trial will take less
time and money. Time to market will be decreased,
thus enhancing the revenue potential for each
pharmaceutical.”

“This aviation
parts distributor knew they needed an automated
solution for the FreeStock program. They implemented
a wireless solution using software from CTE
together with Symbol SPT 1700 handheld devices
[with a bar code scanner] in order to better
serve their customers and automate the process.
Their approach was to ensure strong user acceptance
by first working with CTE in order to develop
prototypes that could be demonstrated to end
users. This interactive approach helped them
to refine the functionality on the device
and test the solution early on.”

They even exceeded our expectations by defining
