A Group Of Global Executives Discussing Strategic Outcomes At Ivey

Custom Programs

At The Ivey Academy, we understand that your needs, opportunities, and challenges are unique. This is at the heart of what makes our Custom Programs successful in producing true behaviour change.

We work with corporations, governments, and non-profits to design and execute customized development and training programs tailored to the client’s specific needs.

Custom programs are typically multi-year endeavours, supporting executive, human resources, and learning and development (L&D) objectives. Programs are delivered through live virtual sessions, safely distanced in-person experiences, and self-paced online learning — based on client preference. All Ivey Academy custom programs are deeply experiential in nature, concentrating as much on behaviour change as knowledge transfer.

We are proud to work with some of Canada’s best organizations, and global clients focused on learning and development.

Customization

When we say unique, we mean it. Ivey works with you every step along the way to make sure the program fits your needs. We’ll look at your existing competencies profile to start – and if you don’t have one we’ll help you develop it. We’ll incorporate the assessment tools you use, or help select what will work for you. Ivey Academy programs weave your industry’s management language through the process, and we’ll help bring along your executive team.

Vision

Through close collaboration, we’ll establish a shared understanding of your development aspirations and how they fit into your organization. We’ll make sure our programs and participant experiences align with your business challenges and objectives.

Program Design

We’re firm believers in learning by doing. Every Ivey Academy program is participant-centred and interactive. We develop alternative designs, too: a series of examples of what the program and participant experience could look like. We test ideas on stakeholders and refine them as we learn more about your organization.

Program Delivery

Our professors are flexible, often working in small teams, teaching alongside their colleagues or executives from your organization. Dedicated program managers support clients and faculty to ensure the administration, logistics, and participant well-being are all looked after. Days are long and conversations intense, but the results are unparalleled.

Evaluation

We want your feedback at the end of the program. Tell us how we can make great even better. We objectively evaluate the program’s impact so we can build on success or create new opportunities for results. Where appropriate, we introduce post-program coaching or use further assessment tools to help dig deeper into program outcomes.
