Canzona Technologies Mentoring for Engineers, Teams, and Departments

Some skills are rarely taught in a traditional engineering curriculum, and are either learned on the job from more experienced colleagues, or through trial and error. Inexperience in project planning, architecture, testing and debugging often results in missed deadlines and ballooning budgets. Inheriting a poorly documented design can be a daunting task and overlooked details can lead to mysterious problems after a seemingly minor change. Sometimes just having a sounding-board leads to better decisions. If you or your staff could benefit from a new perspective, we offer friendly mentoring for individuals or entire departments. With over 40 years experience, we've probably already solved problems similar to yours. When appropriate, we also offer fun team-building activities.

We offer hourly, daily, and special multi-day rates to suit your needs, either on-site or by phone, skype, or e-mail. Some of our offerings are based on Don Rowe's website Winning Decisions.
