A very pleasant environment and friendly atmosphere with plenty of useful and insightful information.

Thank you for a useful and worthwhile course! A great opportunity to compare useful theory with our practical daily experience.

Great attitude and training content. It certainly met my expectations.

The instruction was very practical and simple, delivered in a manner that speaks to the team’s professionalism.

A great team of experienced professionals.

I have great experience with SHINE-led training. I have already taken part in a number of workshops – they are always very professional with an engaging style of presentation.

I have already taken a number of SHINE-run courses and they have proven to be the best option the market has to offer.

A very well-structured training course combining practical experience with example-based instruction.

Learning by doing is arguably the best method to improve oneself.

Amazing insight into the strategies for management of portfolios, programmes, and projects.

It was a very enjoyable training event in a small group. The size of the group helped provide plenty of space for open group discussion, experience sharing and networking. And the impeccable service was another great benefit!

SHINE invariably helps me find a different way to look at my work.

The whole experience was of great benefit. New valuable experience and knowledge. I appreciate their professionalism with a friendly touch. I can wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone interested in the subject.

I had already taken part in a large number of various training sessions. What I particularly liked about SHINE team’s training style was the emphasis on immediate testing of participants’ grasp of the material covered.

The course helped expand my knowledge of the subject matter.

A great experience! Good trainers and amazing real-life lessons and observations.

One of the best project management courses ever! Lots of practical examples and engaging work with participants.

The right people in the right place. Very engaging and captivating. Lots of practical real-life examples – easy to remember.

Great professional performance that speaks volumes about the team’s experience and a great deal of preparation.

I certainly did not expect to chance upon such an engaging and interesting PM workshop. Shine did a good job.

I love training events led by professionals with a proven track record – it’s quite rare these days!

What I most appreciate about the workshops is the marriage of theory and practice. It is always more than welcome when trainers have practical real-life experience of their own.

Definitely worth the time spent in class. Very beneficial and useful for project work. There was a practical example demonstrating the management of a project for designing a digger prototype and it was simply awesome.

SHINE will help you advance yourself :-) They will help you grasp and realise your goals.

They certainly know their stuff. Realistic and grounded facts – no fluff or ballast.

An extremely well-designed and delivered training workshop helping us to find a shared conception of change management.

Courses extend beyond classroom experience and they are grounded in real-life experience.

A very well-prepared course. Content-wise, this is the only course of its kind on the Czech market.

It was a very enjoyable training event in a small group. The size of the group helped provide plenty of space for open group discussion, experience sharing and networking. And the impeccable service was another great benefit!

Přemek is very nice and entertaining and his instruction is both clear and gripping

An amazing experience rich in both theory and practice coupled with plenty of opportunities to learn and share the practical experience of other participants.

A great degree of professionalism translated into a well-delivered training session. The trainer created a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Even though the content was deep and required thinking time, the way the whole training was conducted made it really fun to learn new things and deal with the challenging tasks presented.

An amazing training event. Fascinating trainers. A warm and hospitable environment. Well-researched and well-prepared materials. Interesting workshop segments.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this company. I was absolutely satisfied.

More SHINE-led training please! Not just theory….. every workshop is packed with tons of practice

I very much appreciate the practical examples provided by the trainer and the trainer themselves

Professional and yet warm and friendly. The trainer is clearly an expert with a knack for translating things into layman’s terms. Many thanks.

The trainer, Zdenko Staníček, absolutely exceeded my expectations.

Thank you for an extremely professional training course.

Motiv-ace is the first solid solution for rewarding. The course teaches you all about it.

The course itself exceeded my expectations.

• Trying to find an ideal tool to make us implement strategic tasks more efficiently, more straightforwardly and faster, our company has tested several management approaches. Last year, we decided to address our specific needs with the latest approaches to project management – and it turned out quickly that the decision was a good one. I can say our collaboration with SHINE Consulting has been perfect. Our joined efforts led to developing an extremely efficient way of managing change within a short span of time, which we integrated into the existing organization structure without difficulty. One great benefit was the transparency of the whole process – all employees understood the nature and purpose of the
• change very fast. This made the launch of the new system of management easier and increased employees’ motivation.
   

“We have co-operated with the team of Ing. Hajkr repeatedly in the past years, namely in the field of competence development of project managers. This co-operation not only helped enormously in the knowledge and skills development of our employees and their subsequent certification, but also better co-operation was established and harmonisation of methodology of project management was achieved within the enlarged implementation teams in all companies within the transport division of ŠKODA. This was all thanks to high level of professionalism, flexibility and customer-oriented approach exhibited by all lecturers and consultants of the provider. We benefitted from the fact that the comprehensive information and education package was “tailor-made” and corresponded with our needs and technical focus. The whole training program was very well prepared, the visual aids were of a high quality and practical exercises were sophisticated, well thought-out and based on concrete project situations.” 

We started searching for a strong and steady partner to help us develop our company´s project culture. Our cooperation with SHINE Consulting proved very effective and I can say after these two years we have found a partner who understands our requirements and needs. The long-term goal of the cooperation was creating a concise and integrated methodology to enable us to meet the wishes and needs of our clients fast and effectively. Another important aspect of our cooperation was training all company employees in project management. This is why we prepared a long-term training programme. It was received by our employees very well and not only has it enabled us to implement an integrated project methodology but it also provides us with a competition advantage as far as our clients are concerned. Not only do I regard the services of SHINE Consulting as very professional, but I also have a high esteem for the individual approach of the whole team. The ability to move from the service provider/client relationship to the partner/client relationship is what makes SHINE Consulting stand out among their competitors.

• “SHINE Consulting has delivered for our company a consulting project focused on project culture improvement. Within the project, the current state of project culture in our company was analysed and a tailor-made solution developed. This solution was implemented under SHINE's guidance, including support in the initial phases of the new system's run. I can only say that cooperation with the team by SHINE, led by Lead Consultant Ing. Michael Motal, was excellent throughout the project. I appreciated especially the highly professional approach: from careful and detailed preparation, through interactive training, to pilot project coaching. My original idea was that we could train our people ourselves as well as introduce project culture into our company on our own. In retrospect, I can see how naive this idea was. The shift in project management our company has undergone last year is incredible. The main benefits we can see after the project has been completed are especially these:
• We are able to distinguish between what is and what is not a project.
• Our employees are able to get ready necessary materials for decisions about projects to be made by the management (why do this, project objectives, benefits etc.).
• We can plan projects better, appoint implementation teams, plan resources.
• Project managers and their teams can manage projects on their own.
• We have learned to manage project portfolios.
• These techniques we have learned help us launch manufacture of new products more effectively. (In shorter times, with less operational management = less stress.) All important change (development) in the company is also managed consistently through individual project phases. I think most of my colleagues can hardly see us doing this in any other way. We do not understand either how we could have been doing things in the "old stupid ways".
