All programs utilize a combination of lecture, discussion and group exercises. Program participants receive a course notebook and paper copies of PowerPoint slides used during the program. To facilitate the full implementation of program concepts in the work environment and to encourage the sharing of program ideas with others in the workplace of participants, electronic copies of all materials used in the presentation are available to participants who have completed the program at the individual participant’s request.

Our programs are written to accommodate participant groups seeking a basic to advanced learning experience. Specific Program Level information and seminar prerequisites, if any, are provided in the seminar descriptions section of this Web Site. For each in-house program, we solicit comprehensive input from the sponsoring organization regarding participant backgrounds and meeting objectives. Course content and discussion emphasis is then modified to reflect that input. For programs where such advance input is not possible (such as for public offerings, where participants would not be known until the program date) time is allocated during the introduction section of the program to solicit participant input.

Generally, no advanced preparation required. Participants should come prepared to discuss their questions and issues. If a program requires specific advance preparation, this information is provided in the seminar descriptions section of this Web Site.
