Moderated Workshops

Asatte Press offers hands-on workshops for engineering practitioners, managers, and technical leaders who are struggling with project complexity.

Workshop Format

Asatte Press workshops are moderated, hands-on working sessions, not passive lecture listening experiences. Students will be expected to actively participate, work problems at the whiteboard, share challenges, and discuss potential solutions.

Workshop Tailoring

While Asatte Press does have some prepared material, we expect to tailor each workshop to match the specific needs of the requesting organization. Our workshops are generally whole days. We can handle two topics per day, or one topic in greater depth. Multi-day workshops are also possible, either to cover more topics, or to allow a team to have several passes of developing a solution to a problem in greater detail.

Topics

Topics shown below are divided into topics that can be used by individual practitioners and topics that affect a larger team.
