Custom Programs

HBS helps you design customized learning experiences that transform individual leaders, teams, and organizations. Our expert team will partner with you to codesign learning experiences directly linked to your organization's unique learning and business goals.

With this in mind, we deliver your program in a variety of formats that typically include virtual and in-person delivery options. The curriculum is similar for both options, but tailored to take advantage of each delivery method.

We carefully structure the cadence of your virtual sessions with faculty and your team to create a balance between live, interactive learning and time for individual reflection.

• Prior to each day of learning, participants work in discussion groups that are scheduled with careful attention to time zones, facilitating preparation for faculty-led discussions and leveraging peer learning.
• Peer engagement is reinforced through discussion groups, polls, chats, videos, and cold calls.
• Small-group opportunities provide a basis for building peer-to-peer relationships—and a network for solving individual and organizational challenges in the future.

Each component of a custom program is considered carefully in the context and duration of your program, your organizational culture, and the most effective way to deliver content to your executives.

"The virtual classroom was amazing! It felt like you were engaging in a genuine classroom experience with the faculty and participants."
Nina Olle, General Manager, South Cross Community Healthcare

"The program experience flew by— it seems we could have easily kept the discussions going longer as the virtual sessions allowed for more people to participate through the efficient use of the “raise hand” feature."
Kristine Schmidt, Board of Directors, PG&E Corporation

"I was surprised at how quickly I became comfortable being on screen sharing, interacting, and learning. This is the new global environment. These virtual skills have also carried over to work, where I interact confidently with my project managers."
Nyssa-Dawn, Project Controls Manager, Bechtel Corporation

The HBS faculty chair and program director partner with your organization throughout the entire process of design and delivery. This includes conducting needs assessment interviews with key stakeholders and a review of organizational challenges and competencies.
