The training was pragmatic and engaging - a good mix of theory, examples, and practice. The team could get concrete tips that they immediately start applying in their day-to-day work. MQ Learning's greatest asset was the experience that they brought in the training, from the doer of storyboards (as a consultant) and be the recipient of storyboards (as an executive)
