while virtually eliminating travel expenses. Whether you require training for a small group or for an organization-
wide initiative, the advanced learning methods employed by the Institute 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, the Institute’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, the Institute also
has the ability to accommodate organization-wide training initiatives. Utilizing multiple instructors, the Institute
