Just a quick note of reflection....
I think I will take two online classes this summer through Villanova University. Unfortunately our class will be long over, so I won't be able to share my analysis of this experience.
One class will be an intro to SixSigma type class. I've experienced SixSigma front end analysis methodology, but I'd like to learn this process for future front end analysis work. Since many corporations are familiar with SixSigma and that vocabulary, it will be handy to have this tool ready if needed.
The other is Project Management, with a goal of certification. I've done my version of PM over the years, and I took the PM course offered through IDDE. I am comfortable with the politics involved in being a project manager, so it might come in handy to be certified as a PM. I'm actually pretty good and effective in getting things done through the efforts of cross functional teams. [so keep that in mind if any of you need a PM for your projects]
While I'm not a fan of distance learning, I think learning these two subjects as DL courses should be fine given my purpose and my previous experience. Had I never lead projects, then the PM course might be challenging. And since my ultimate goal is NOT to apply SixSigma as a quality assurance tool, I should be okay learning this at a distance as well.
I'm hopeful.
