"What an incredible piece of work! I think this content could be a great introduction to development planning and I will share it with some folks at XOM. Of course we have our own slightly different terms but the overall content, concepts, and success factors are universal. I’d like to see it in the XOM catalog as an intro to development planning concepts. I was even thinking this would be a great university course."
