Invest in your team.

Custom training for your team or organization

Build stronger leaders, problem solvers, and communicators. We'll work with you to develop a custom program that bridges current gaps in skills and expertise, builds new potential and accelerates progress toward long-term goals.

For nearly two decades we've developed custom-designed programs in collaboration with clients across the spectrum of industries and sectors, from Starbucks and TD Bank Group to Canada Post, SickKids Foundation, and the Government of Ontario - to name just a few.

We start by connecting you with one of our leading faculty members, who will assess your organization's needs and tailor program content to your unique strategic and business challenges. Then we develop and deliver your custom program - on the Rotman campus or at your preferred venue - taking care of all the logistics so your team can focus on learning.

Past clients include:
