“The biggest difference with the Grasmick Institute is the time and care they put into planning before you even have your first training. They didn’t just come in and give us a cookie cutter workshop. I think that is so important. It shows that they understand the importance of development and the need for it. If you are looking to develop and create a training platform for your people, this is the place to go.”

— Chris Krummenoehl, Vice President of Human Resources, David S. Brown Enterprises
