In-House Training & Customization
One of the more popular vehicles for accessing the Institute’s educational offerings is the delivery of on-site
trainings and management facilitations. Bringing a training or facilitation in-house gives you the opportunity to
customize a program that addresses your exact challenges and provides a more personal learning experience,
while virtually eliminating travel expenses. Whether you require training for your department or for an
organization-wide initiative, the advanced learning methods employed by ASMI will create an intimate training
atmosphere that maximizes knowledge transfer to enhance the talent within your organization.
Customization:
We realize that not all obstacles can be overcome by applying an “off-the-shelf” solution. While many training
providers will offer you some variation of their standard training, ASMI’s subject matter experts will work with
you and your team to examine your programs and determine your exact areas of need. The identification of real
life examples will create a learning atmosphere that resonates with participants while at the same time providing
immediate return on your training investment. Using interactive exercises that employ actual projects or scenarios
from your organization, instructors can address specific challenges and align the curriculum of each session to
your objectives. While the majority of on-site trainings are focused on smaller groups, ASMI also has the ability to
accommodate organization-wide training initiatives. Utilizing multiple instructors, the Institute has the capacity to
deliver courses to groups of up to 300 participants per day.
Areas of Expertise:
On-site delivery of single courses, certification programs and entire packages of specialized courses are available in
the following areas:
• Strategic Planning • Contracting
• Performance Measurement • Performance Reporting
• Project Management • Program Evaluation
• Lean Six Sigma • Administrative Management
