Overview
Columbia Business School Executive Education’s custom programs blend scholarly research and practical approaches to address your organization’s specific challenges. We see custom programming as a partnership, collaborating to create an effective experience.
Design and Development
Each custom program is carefully designed to fulfill your organization’s specific needs. The process is iterative and comprised of four steps:
- The design and development phase begins with a needs assessment and contextual analysis of the challenges you are facing.
- The second phase is a collaborative effort among our faculty members, designated representatives from your organization, and the Columbia team. In a highly collaborative, iterative process, the Columbia Business School Executive Education team works with you to co-create custom curricula that meld the best ideas of both our faculty and client stakeholders.
- Design teams from your organization and Columbia Business School Executive Education then meet to determine the program’s structure which includes content and session structure such as case studies, simulations, and materials.
- After delivering the program, an evaluation and refinement process takes place in order to make the necessary adjustments for the next iteration.
“The change in format from in-person to fully virtual this year was seamless. The Columbia Business School faculty were creative and innovative. Although the learning platform was completely different than prior years, there was no change in participant engagement. In fact, all of our attending physicians were impressed and are excited to continue with the upcoming modules, whether virtual or in-person. We look forward to continuing to work with Columbia Business School.”
“Participants in this transformative program grew more confident in their management, leadership, and communications skills, better equipped to assume leadership roles in their organization, and empowered to realize their full personal and professional potential. Columbia Business School Executive Education is fulfilling an important mission by shaping a generation of graduates who will help drive continued economic growth in Morocco and Africa.”
