Our training courses go well beyond the subject material and produce real outputs that jumpstart your improvement effort.

S&OP Training

High Impact

Nexview training courses are a mix of instruction, team building, case studies, and exercises that produce outputs participants can put to use immediately.

Custom Agendas

Most of our training engagements support improvement efforts and we usually work with an executive sponsor and project manager to match the agenda and participants with overall objectives. We often build agendas that involve engagement across management teams, rapid assessments, and initial workshops. Agendas can range from 1 day to a few weeks if we build in an assessment. We can be all on-site, over video conference, or a combination. We serve clients globally.

Cross-Functional Participation

As S&OP is a cross-functional process, so too are the best training seminars. We work with you to determine the participants that best fit your org structure and objectives. Our fixed-fee model avoids clients having to prioritize participants. We also sometimes also build in abbreviated sessions just for the management team to make the best use of their limited time.
