For more than two decades, Michigan Ross Executive Education has developed custom solutions tailored and delivered to top companies around the world, across industry and function. Our team of expert faculty, managing directors, and program specialists partner with you to create in-person and virtual learning experiences that equip your people with the mindsets, strategies, and skills to drive immediate impact.
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. Working together, we’ll follow our time-tested model to build the best program tailored to your unique business goals. These learning experiences are rooted in our signature action-based approach, and are designed to ensure your organization benefits from sustained outcomes.
We identify your business issues, priorities, and objectives.
First, we get to know your organization and its challenges; then, we work with you to define clear learning objectives. Discovery may include:
- Interviews, focus groups, and needs assessments with individual executives and/or potential participants.
- Collection and review of key data and documents, including:
- Annual reports
- Financial statements
- Strategic plans
- Individual and group assessments
- Performance metrics
- A summary of themes that becomes the basis for the learning objectives and design phase.
We co-create an action-based suite of educational activities.
Incorporating learnings from the discovery phase, we work with our faculty and your stakeholders to create a coherent learning journey that aligns with organizational goals, participant learning needs, and your organizational culture.
- Draft, review, and iterate program designs to ensure the modules address identified learning goals.
- Determine a preferred delivery method: in-person, live online or asynchronous sessions, or a blended approach using multiple methods.
- Coordinate across the faculty team to ensure consistent themes across different modules.
- Align with individual and organizational business challenges to ensure relevance.
- Integrate with talent management processes to ensure candidates are prepared for their next move.
