“I work in Global R&D at PepsiCo and attended a full day workshop lead by Pat entitled “Structured Thinking and Innovation.” I have taken many day-long seminars, and while most of them have been very interesting, none have been as useful as Patricia’s. I can say without a doubt that this particular course was one of the best I have ever attended. The course content is now a part of my everyday thinking, and I am so glad that Pat led the class; it takes a special person to teach this sort of material, and Patricia Harmon, PhD is top-notch.”
