Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) May 5, 2007 -- Profitable Growth Partners, LLC (http://www.pgpgrow.com)., a Grand Rapids-based business strategy and training firm, is featured in the May 2007 issue of Techniques Magazine (http://www.acteonline.org/members/techniques/2006-2007/upload/May07_Thm3.pdf). The article, entitled "Soft Skills" was authored by Managing Partners Randy Bancino and Claire Zevalkink , and is based on their Soft Skills for Hard Core Technical Professionals™ (http://www.techsoftskills.com) workshop series.

The training series, which is intended for technical professionals in such fields as information technology, engineering, research, etc., strengthens skill-sets in areas such as communication, interpersonal relationships, customer focus, leadership, and teamwork.

"Serving as the Chief Information Officer for a large global company, and then later as the V.P. of Sales and Marketing for a national firm, I was able to see first hand how these skills contributed to successful projects, and successful implementations of technology," said Randy Bancino, Managing Partner with Profitable Growth Partners, LLC. "Rarely did projects fail because the technology didn't work; because the staff didn't understand the technology; or because we hired the wrong consultants. A lack of soft skills was almost always the culprit."

Profitable Growth Partners worked with the Center for Organizational Design and other top organizations to put together a comprehensive program that measurably improves the skill sets of today's technical professional. The end result is a team that implements more successful projects, improves customer focus, and elevates their contribution to the success of the organization.
