Onsite & eLearning Program

CUSTOMIZATION AND TAILORING
WE LISTEN TO WHAT YOU NEED

ISM can customize its educational programs to meet your needs. We offer flexible learning solutions, including online training and development. Not only the content of the seminar can be customized, but in most onsite programs, the output from the seminar can be tailored to meet target learning outcomes. This allows you to maximize learning effectiveness, better achieve organizational objectives, and provide a tangible, defined result by customizing either the input or the output of the seminar.

Tailored Seminars
  • ISM can take a standard seminar and tailor the content to more closely meet your needs.
  • You decide length of program and the content. Courses can be expanded or contracted to balance lecture, discussion, application exercises, case studies, and team work to achieve learning objectives and outcomes within time considerations.
  • Outline topics can be emphasized or deemphasized, or other topics can be included
  • Examples, exercises, and case studies can be tailored to your company or industry
  • ISM will arrange for initial conference calls with instructors. ISM and its instructors will discuss your requirements prior to program delivery to ensure your needs are understood and met.
  • Our standard daily rates include tailoring of standard seminars to more closely meet your objectives. As an example, slight modifications to standard content can be made, such as increasing or decreasing emphasis of course topics, or your organization's terms and conditions might be included within a contract writing course for discussion purposes.
Custom Seminars
  • ISM can develop a custom seminar for your organization
  • Topics from standard seminars can be selected and grouped
  • Standard seminars can be modified to include some custom content
  • We can develop custom content, case studies, applied projects and learning exercises as required
  • The cost of developing custom material is dependent upon the size and scope of each project
