Excerpt from Training Magazine Article

What do you get when you cross a management scientist with a failed folk singer? The answer: Stanford professor Sam Savage. He's of a rare breed, an academic who was self-aware enough to realize early in his teaching career that only 10 percent of his mba students were "getting" the mathematical concepts he was trying to impart, and just 10 percent of them would apply them.

Dissatisfied with being only 1 percent effective, he honed and refined his presentation skills to include humor, stories and metaphors. Savage now offers his specialist knowledge on applying mathematical models for business decisions to major organizations as a subject matter expert (SME).

Savage is the kind of SME that every organization hopes to find, whether they need someone to contribute content to an instructor-led or technology-based program. He is a highly knowledgeable specialist and understands that the purity of content must go hand-in-hand with ensuring that the recipients actually learn.
