Anecdotes
David Pink reports that “After basic [IBM] training in Vancouver, I was transferred to Halifax as Administration Manager responsible for business processes, management, personnel and facilities for the Maritime region. This was then followed by a move to Hamilton with similar responsibilities and also a large pilot project to implement major changes to branch accounting and financial systems. While there, I was also sent on temporary assignments to Windsor and Edmonton to conduct major audits to resolve significant impact issues. Success in all of these projects earned me a transfer back to Vancouver as an Administration Manager for a larger operation and for other special project opportunities. During this time, I successfully completed a number of IBM management and marketing courses as well as an Qualified Instructor's course "
