My Value Proposition

Executive Training

Create a world class organization designed to win in the current business environment of constant change and economic challenges. With world class training from institutions such as Duke University and Harvard Business School, a decade of academic experience, and a first hand knowledge of leading change and innovation, I bring cutting edge customized training programs to help your organization take their game to the next level.

Standard and Custom Training Programs

Studies interviewing dozens of CEOs have identified that the largest problem they perceive in their companies today is the lack of knowledge on how to deal with the dramatic and constant change facing their organizations. At times like this, a consulting project is not a long-term sustainable solution. You need to build new capabilities. As an example, when you want to build a culture of innovation or when you are trying to lead a major change initiative that needs new mindsets, you require new skills, mindsets and organizational capabilities.

At such times you need executive education. Pick between off the shelf education or customized training programs created and tailored to your specific needs.

To illustrate, one my clients used my training program to train their team to identify new and better solutions to their on-going issues faster than ever before. They did this via using a customized training program designed to build and improve strategic thinking capabilities in their middle management team.

Another client wanted to train top talent without an MBA education on strategy. They chose a standard program on the art and science of business strategy.

Whether custom or standard, executive education is the right investment in your talent and business. Find out more about which programs will be suitable for your needs by getting in touch.
