In-House Training for the Entire Management Team

During this period of discretionary spending, CEOs recognize the importance of ensuring their management teams are making all the right moves and avoiding the potential of financially devastating recalls, or worse yet, catastrophic lawsuits. But these CEOs also realize that without the proper training, their management teams won’t know all the right moves, and their corporations could therefore be very susceptible to such disasters. In today’s economy, most corporations can’t afford to take such chances. Some manufacturing corporations have rented conference rooms and ballrooms at nearby hotels for such training (as shown above), and others have even televised the event to other operations around the world. But one aspect remains constant, management teams continuously say it was the best seminar they ever attended!


Seminars Around The World

Randall Goodden has been teaching Product Safety & Liability Prevention seminars around the world. This picture was taken in May 2008 where the audience for his 2-day seminar was over 200 attendees, and filled the Ballroom of the Changzhou China Grand Hotel. These seminars are attended and endorsed by top officials and agencies in China. This was just one of many seminars he has held throughout China in 2008. His seminars are routinely held across the United States, Europe & the U.K., Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, India, as well as China.

The record number of recalls followed by product liability lawsuits have continued to rise from 2007 into 2009 in the United States, as well as Canada and Europe. At the height of the original crises in December of 2007 Randall Goodden was interviewed by newspapers and magazines all across the country, and was featured on Reuters News, which was shown worldwide. As stated in the interview, many of the recalls from China are not the fault of the Chinese manufacturers, but the fault of the many corporate engineering groups throughout North America and Europe that designed the products. That is why this training is not only a necessity in China, but also in North America and Europe.

These seminars can be the normal 2-day length, or customized to 1-day or half-day versions.
