Tom Gilb Events a Huge Success
News added on 21st May 2013
On Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st May, Tom Gilb came to present a two day seminar to us on Lean Quality Assurance, together with an evening talk on Evo Project Management. The seminar was very intensive, but hugely enjoyable, interspersed with many of Tom's well-known shaggy dog stories delivered in his own inimitable style, and with an excellent guest talk by Niels Malotaux.
As you can see from the photograph, we all had a fantastic time and were presented with certificates to show our attendance. Having found out Tom collected autographed books, I offered him a copy of Competitive Engineering, but decided to keep the book once he'd signed it and presented him with a bottle of wine to thank him for a wonderful two days
The evening talk on Monday was full of people interested in hearing what Tom had to say, and whilst there was limited time to ask questions after the talk, there was plenty of interest
Tom Gilb 2-Day Seminar on Lean QA
News added on 8th May 2013If you are interested in attending the 2-day seminar on 20/21st May on Lean QA with Tom Gilb, but are put off by the fact that it is primarily for people not in permanent employment, or underemployed contractors: We're also quite happy to accept others attendees, both BCS and non-BCS members, and who are currently employed. Just email Soheir Ghallaib (soheirg@hotmail.com) with your details to secure a place! Food will also be available for lunch on both days if you don't fancy going out.
