Dr. Prokop loves teaching! He's been teaching in universities since 1993. Darren makes it his personal mission to take complex topics and boil them down to common sense. This helps us to understand what鈥檚 truly going on in business systems or in the public policy-making process. He's always said, "if you can鈥檛 explain it simply, you simply can鈥檛 explain it."
