Certifications Given

Kevin Rutherford certifies that Clarke Ching is, at a minimum, qualified as a master, capable of innovating in the skill use of the TOC thinking tools, based on this evidence:

While we were setting up the second NakedAgilists event, I made a quite dubious decision about how to proceed in the face of Skype problems. Clarke supported my decision, and then quickly asked me to help him complete a TOC conflict cloud for the situation. During the next 30 minutes I learned -- for myself, by doing -- that my decision had been the wrong one. Clarke had taught me something by asking for help.
