The Professional Benefit of the Course

This course is designed to help Vancouver business and technology professionals in two ways.

The better the marketer learns and understands the character of the client, the more successful the marketing. The better the technologist understands the character of the potential market for a new product, the more profitable the product research and development.

• Cities each have their unique character and background history, just like your your best friends do. Think of Paris, London, Mumbai, Tokyo, Mexico City, Beijing: we immediately think of each of them in terms of their special identifying character.
