Protect margin by managing the client, contract and project.

Through a series of 10 classes over the course of five weeks, dealer staff members are guided through information, tools and best practices that will help your dealership avoid costly mistakes, reduce margin erosion, and sustain and deepen customer relationships. Course instructors are experts in furniture project management and industry leaders in project management training.

The Solomon Coyle Project Management Training program is a highly cost-effective way to help your entire project management team hone their ability to deliver smart project management solutions with higher quality, better accountability and greater value.

This program is available to staff at Allsteel, Haworth, Kimball Int’l, Knoll, MillerKnoll, Teknion LLC, and Steelcase dealerships. We offer the course to non-aligned contract furniture dealers, as well.

This course includes synchronous and asynchronous learning delivered via Microsoft Teams for easy access. We supply session handouts and workbooks plus forms, checklists and other professional tools. Tests along the way plus a final exam provide feedback on the attendee’s understanding of the material. Solomon Coyle issues a certificate of completion to individuals who fulfill the program requirements.
