Bauer can work with you to develop a program for your organization.
- First, we will meet with you to discuss specific learning objectives and identify the levels of the organization leadership that will need to be involved.
- Second, the faculty chosen for each class will work with you collaboratively to develop class content.
- Finally, as classes are conducted, feedback is solicited from the participants. This feedback is used in providing follow up instruction and revisions to class content.
- Our programs are not pre-developed. We customize programs specific to your industry, your individual company, and your concerns.
- Our faculty have an unparalleled commitment to gaining an intimate understanding of the vision, culture, and capabilities of your company with input from your executives. We will collaborate and discuss your objectives to develop a high-impact program to identify the unique challenges your organization faces, and design a course that offers innovative, strategic solutions that give your company the competitive advantage.

The faculty leading your custom program are experts and leaders in their field who will incorporate your organization's mission, vision, strategy, and tactics into engaging class lectures and discussions.
