“Customizing plus” for your company’s needs
Executive Corporate Programs
Going beyond customizing
The demand for “impact” and measurable results in executive education is reaching new heights, and you know as well as we do, that impact can only occur, after your desired program goals have been achieved. It is this ambition to ensure a successful result, that places high expectations and challenging demands on both – you and us. We have understood. We have the solutions to these challenges. Sincerely yours The impact architects

Only then, when we have understood your business, do we begin In order to deliver an impactful result, a close partnership is necessary between our team and all of the key business stakeholders involved. A thorough process of exploration is required, which can often reveal important but less obvious goals and valuable perspectives, that lie behind the initial business initiative. In the end it is these insights which can be central to the most effective development strategy for an organization. We are interested what′s in your real interest. We listen.

We want you to be co-creators No matter how much research and exploration has been done, what′s happening in a business is constantly changing, and you are best placed to be aware of this. In addition, you have deeper knowledge and are the real experts about your organization. So it makes total sense to include you as co-creators in the development process. We integrate. We immerse ourselves. We are true partners.

We know and have the right people to inspire you The success of a learning intervention is not only a question of the content and teaching methodologies used. It is also powerfully influenced by the quality and expertise of who you are learning from. Our spectrum involves the unique combination of tutors from the high-class faculty, successful entrepreneurs as well as respected practitioners together with our experts in specific subjects, selected for their detailed and relevant niche-knowledge. Altogether this offers enormous potential to make an “impact� for you. We know business leaders around the world. We employ top people to help you see the bigger picture.

We work closely with your precise requirements. We offer multifaceted education tools and methods, and help you choose the ones best suited to your individual needs.

Identifying Business Initiatives
Using only classroom teaching as a standalone method, will not guarantee success. We achieve sustainable results, through our 3-level-approach, combining tailored learning content along with a comprehensive understanding of the requirements of both the individual and the organisation. In parallel with the core learning initiative process, the specific frameworks of executive transfer and executive sparring, together create the necessary environment needed to ensure and enhance impact.
