Developing Your Custom Program

We understand the quality of a custom program depends on successful collaboration between Michigan Ross and your organization before, during, and after program delivery. As such, our process features four distinct phases.

Custom Program Process - Discover, Design, Deliver, Deploy

discover

We identify your business issues, priorities, and objectives.

First, we get to know your organization and its challenges, then work with you to define clear learning objectives. Discovery may include the following:

Identification of client issues and objectives
Interviews with individual executives and/or potential participants
Collection and review of key data and documents
Annual reports
Financial statements
Strategic plans
Individual and group assessments
Performance metrics

Design

We co-create an action-based suite of educational activities.

We integrate our programming in four ways that benefit your organization:

Integration with your strategic priorities
Integration among the topics
Integration with your talent management process
Integration with your real business challenges

Deliver

Ross faculty engage your talent in innovative learning experiences.

Ross faculty and staff engage your talent, delivering instruction and services customized to your industry, your company, and the business needs defined during discovery. We deliver programs anywhere in the world

Deploy

We help you implement solutions to achieve lasting results.
