Note that all our courses are taught in live, small class sizes with very high emphasis on helping participants contextualize the learnings in their specific environments. We accomplish this through discussions, exercises, and a unique-to-us emphasis on the underlying "why's" and by providing examples from various IT and non-IT industries. Further, we verify that our students in fact meet the Learning Objective through in- and out-of- class assessments. 

After class, all our students gain access to our growing network of agile professionals, through which they are able to garner support, advise, and talent for maximum impact for your organization.

Our focus is on imparting the most modern and effective leadership skills, not on providing transactional educational hours.
