“Dr. Hitchcock's help was indispensable in moving our organization to a competency-based training program. With his wealth of prior knowledge and experience, he guided us through gathering all of our training goals, distilling them to their core, and re-designing them into proper competencies. Instead of merely reshuffling our current program, he helped us enhance our program by adding new dimensions. Not only are we able to leverage existing relationships, we are also now in a position to add many new relationships that we would've have previously overlooked.” - Rich Bae, Vice President, Chief Mobilization Officer, SIM USA
