Our Step-by-Step Custom Program Development Process

Our Focus - Your GoalsA great custom program should be just that - custom. Smith's client-focused approach to leadership development focuses on:

  • Designing leadership development programs for women executives and managers based on the developmental goals and learning objectives your organization identifies.
  • Ensuring that programs developed are aligned to support your company's strategic mission, operating goals, and business needs.
  • Building programs to augment or complement existing leadership development programs or initiatives in your organization.
  • Creating customized course content and hands-on simulations, based on clearly identified leadership competency requirements within your company.
  • Guaranteeing continuous improvement and refinement of the course design and its components, based on ongoing assessment and evaluation procedures that identify the business outcomes that are most critical to your company.

FACULTY
Many business school executive programs will use only their faculty, even if those faculty do not fit your exact needs. Custom programs developed by Smith have the flexibility of using handpicked faculty and advisors, drawn not only from Smith College and leading business schools, but also from major corporations and independent consultancies. Our diverse team of faculty, consultants and advisors cover a wide range of key global business areas, including:

  • Strategy
