The process of developing your people should focus on real-world business challenges and specific objectives. When clients have a responsive education partner and the flexibility to choose from a wide array of options, corporate education becomes highly customized, highly contextual—and highly effective. For even the most complex design, we weave a unified end-to-end learning experience that fits your culture, budget, business outcomes and developmental needs.

FLEXIBILITY
 
Diverse Network of Educators. Hundreds of educators from around the world—academics, coaches, facilitators, retired executives, actors and others—provide the right expertise, industry experience, and cultural familiarity for each situation.

Broad Range of Innovative Methods. Adept at non-traditional approaches such as action learning, tool-based or process-based methodologies, just-in-time coaching, team-based learning and the Metaphoric Experience™ learning method, we are also quite skilled at making the more traditional business classroom an energizing and enriching place. The best approach for one client may not fit another; what matters is the right mix of methods for each.

Global Delivery. We can deliver small or very large scale programs in many iterations, in several languages, and with complex logistical requirements—anywhere.

Deep University Partnerships. Our partner schools—the London School of Economics and Political Science, the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, and Duke University—help us be both more local and more global in our thinking.

Multiple Price Points. Whether teaching to top executives, mid-level managers or the front line, we help you manage tradeoffs between your budget and the methods, modalities, educator eminence, class size, program complexity, length, and outcomes you require. Design prices usually run from US$50,000 to US$200,000; delivery prices are typically US$400 to US$2,000 per person per day, excluding accommodations.

RESPONSIVENESS 

Client Teams that Listen. We start with a healthy curiosity: our client-centered teams listen to what you say and ask probing questions to make sure we understand.

Collaborative and Trusting Partnerships. Let's face it, the word partnership is overused, but we intend to rehabilitate it. Partners commit to mutual respect and open communication; they recognize their partner's need to minimize risk; they feel each other's pain and celebrate each other's success. A true partnership ensures that you get your money’s worth.
