Here are answers to the questions we get asked most often about our programs. We hope you find what you’re looking for, but if you still have a question, please contact us (see contact information below).

All are invited! Each program is designed for both individuals and teams who want to achieve personal growth, influence change at their company, and who are empowered to drive new initiatives. Topics are interdisciplinary and are appropriate for those at all levels, including leadership and management roles throughout the organization. And it doesn’t make a difference which department you’re in – all departments can participate, such as human resources, sales, marketing, product design, IT, finance, operations, and legal.

You can start immediately! The online programs are offered as rolling admissions, meaning you don’t need to wait to begin.

These online programs can be completed on your own schedule. We suggest completing at least one module a week, finishing in eight weeks. Overall, average time spent is from 24 – 32 hours (depending on the projects you pick to work on).

Plan to spend approximately 2-3 hours for each module. This time will include watching videos, completing exercises and joining in the discussions.
