I&#8217;d like to share what a pleasure it has been to be part of the Simple Academy program. Only a couple of months into my solo consulting journey, Simple Academy has made it, well, to quickly gain a solid understanding of the power of Gen AI tools at work, how to internalize and present the training, and then how best to communicate the value to clients with a well thought out go to market strategy. As someone with a product management background, I&#8217;ve been very impressed with how Steve and the team have iterated on the Simple Academy training and made rapid improvements in the right way by testing features with fellow consultants and with customers, listening to feedback, looking at data, decisively setting a direction, and then measuring results to see if we&#8217;re getting the desired outcomes. Also, Steve has created a culture that is welcoming, collaborative, and professional and encourages people from all kinds of backgrounds to generously contribute to improving the product for everyone&#8217;s benefit. You truly have a team to rely on for help when you need it, and the support has been responsive and helpful. A few times I&#8217;ve had an issue, I&#8217;ve gotten a response right away and resolution that day. Most importantly, our clients are getting extraordinary results, so we can confidently pitch Simple Academy Solutions, knowing they bring real value to companies and help people do their jobs better. I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing this community grow and growing my career along with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOur clients are getting extraordinary results, and we can confidently pitch Simple Academy solutions, knowing they help people do their jobs better.\u201dRichard Bolton, MS in Management Information SystemsPrincipal Owner at SmartScale AI Advisors Hi, I&#8217;m Richard Bolton.
