The Experiment Strategies Foundation
(Non-Profit; 1-10 employees; Professional Training & Coaching industry)
December 1997 — September 1998 (10 months)
I was responsible for the operation of The Experiment Strategies Foundation, a non-profit Foundation whose mission is to help people of all ages develop understanding and confidence in the use of numbers and math. The Foundation specializes in teaching statistical experiment design (design of experiments or DOE) to scientists and engineers. The emphasis is always on practical product improvement. I also had responsibility as an instructor for the DOE classes.
