THRESHOLD Classes

We offer complimentary classes to our Focus level Members. Our classes are based on years of experience and cater to the professional looking to educate themselves on topics unavailable elsewhere.

The world is moving from products and services to subscriptions, favoring access and transformations over ownership and deliverables. The advantages of a subscription model are: Predictable revenue; creating annuities with a lifetime value that far exceeds whatever you paid to acquire them; not pricing services, but rather a series of customer transformations; and easier to predict demand and plan capacity. It provides peace of mind, convenience, recurring value, and a frictionless experience for the customer.

Project Management for Knowledge-based Projects contains over eight hours of videos as well as over two dozen project management tools. The course marries important concepts from standard project management and the often overlooked concepts of knowledge work, combining the relationship outcomes of knowledge-based projects versus physical outputs of traditional project management.
