     It is no secret that businesses are faced with enormous challenges as they strive to rapidly create innovative products in a vigorously competitive, customer-centered, global marketplace.

They find themselves spending many months trying to figure out what to do and with whom they should work. This is where Sequent Learning Networks comes in."

We were able to make immediate enhancements to our work in all phases of the product development process." Through its unique product management professional development curriculum, Sequent Learning Networks can help raise the level of product management expertise. The holistic curriculum mirrors the beginning-to-end life cycle of a product and concentrates on the methodologies to build the capabilities of product management practitioners and the organizations within which they work.

     Leila Carr, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Product Development at Synovus Financial said Sequent has a robust methodology that allowed us to evolve from a pure product development focus to a market focused product management organization. We are now reaping the benefits of that methodology."

     "Sequent Learning Networks offers a full range of training options for our members of the Association of International Product Marketing and Management", says Therese Padilla, AIPMM association president and co-founder.
