Comment:

Took his course a few years ago. I still use much of the intellectual capital and knowledge management frameworks and concepts he taught us back then. His high quality instruction is more evident as the years go by. His assignment on human capital measurement still remains among the top tools I learned in my MBA program.

Nick Bontis was very hard and unreasonable. Never picked on me in class for participation resulting in 0/25

Nick conducted a 3 hour executive education seminar in Ottawa today that was simply outstanding. Best session I have ever attended as a government employee. Definitely worth your while to attend his courses.

Took 5 Executive Education courses at Ron Joyce Centre. Dr. Nick Bontis was heads and shoulders above every other faculty member in terms instructor effectiveness and quality of content. A definite ROI from his course. Would highly recommend it.

You will enjoy his 3 hour classes each week. To get an A+ you need to participate with high quality contributions, get into a good group, know the Diamond-E like the back of your hand, and talk to him about soccer every chance you get. Easy.
