Section D: OUR DELIVERY OPTIONS 

Because no one method is right for everybody, we use the right method for you. Different people 

learn in different ways; and programs benefit from a combination of methods. The appropriate mix 

is a function of your business needs, the participants’ level and your organizations culture. 

In understanding the specific needs of organizations in Kuwait we have identified two delivery 

options that we believe have the most effective impact: 

· Fully Tailored Programs for company teams only. Our customized solution allows organizations 

to gain the benefits of: 

§ Full alignment with your company’s objectives and desired business outcomes 

§ Team-building and immediate application of learning to work-life challenges 

§ Personalized assessment feedback for further training development design 

· Public Program delivery for individual participants, both sponsored by their organization and self 

sponsored. Our ‘consortia’ solution allows individual participants to gain the benefit of: 

§ Networking with peers from other organizations 

§ Learning ‘in real-time’ from other organizations experiences and perspectives
