Welcome to ESI Asia’s new catalogue for 2010. As professionals working in a global economy, the economic slowdown will affect all of us regardless of our roles and industries. I think it is true to say that in this environment, it is more important than ever that organizations operate as efficiently and productively as possible.

Many of ESI’s clients are increasingly recognising that project management is a core competency and a major factor in ensuring their ability to successfully execute strategies. They have realised that continuing to invest in improving project management capabilities, especially in difficult economic times, means they will be better prepared to face the challenges ahead. On a more optimistic note, when the inevitable economic upturn arrives, training will be a key factor in determining which organisations will have a head start when things do get better.

One of the ways in which organisations can show their ability to effectively execute strategy—whether to shareholders, customers, employees or suppliers—is through certification. Students can apply ES I courses toward various certificates awarded by ESI and The George Washington University (GW), the Project Management Institute (PMI®) and International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®). 

Whether introductory or advanced, each of ESI’s many courses are designed to meet your performance improvement needs. The subject matter is presented as a progressive, inter-connected set of processes that will enable you to put that knowledge to immediate use to analyse situations and solve your toughest problems.
