Paragon Sailing Charters Chosen by University of Portland!

A few months ago, we were selected by University of Portland Pamplin School of Business Administration to conduct a study on Organizational Management within Paragon Sailing Charters.  This selection was an honor, as the student-team analyzed all aspects of our family-run business, from communications in the office to the unique relationships on the boats.  Their 21-page paper was submitted to us for final analysis, and the recommendations for improvement were spot on!

Its always nice in these times to see University students taking the tourism industry and the real business world seriously.  These students at the University of Portland utilized Harvard Business School Studies, Management Analysis Media, and other incredible sources as they worked on Paragon.  All told, this paper was given a "A" by their Professor.  This type of analysis typically costs companies thousands in consulting hours.  All it took for us was a selection by the University and a willingness to cooperate.  Pretty cool, huh?
