Client Testimonial
“Harbinger played an instrumental role in helping us design and write the content for our first global VLS Training Program. I was impressed by their professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure the success of the project. Without their input we would not have able to deliver such a high quality VLS learning environment for our global sales team. Feedback from participants was positive with most rating the learning experience as very good, to excellent.”
