Executive Management
Barry Boyle - Chief Executive Officer
Since Barry’s arrival in late 2004 he has been consolidating the company’s traditional business of leasing its library of compliance e-Lessons to Pharmaceutical manufacturing companies and, in late 2006, adding a new business based on his background namely, the use of e-learning to improve productivity in industrial manufacturing in 3 crucial areas: -
- Reduce time to market – new plant construction
- Continuous Productivity Improvement Program – ongoing operations
- Saving “baby boomer” knowledge for future operations
This new business will show industrial manufacturing companies and their consultants/contractors how to apply e-learning as a tool to do “old” things better namely, Project Management and Plant Operations Maintenance.
