The Practice Company
Designed to client needs

An important characteristic of "Management Practice Events" is their flexibility. They can be designed to fit many of your unique training objectives and they can easily be integrated into a variety of corporate seminars. Use it as a stand-alone training tool or even better, use it as the concluding portion of a longer training event that also features other tools like lectures, readings, workshops, cases, etc.

In general, our seminars are designed for 9-30 people per industry of 3-5 companies and last 3-5 days. We also offer more condensed workshops lasting 1-2 days.

"Management Practice Events" are run by our successful executives and experience has shown that they are even more effective when a client representative as well as clients' management participate in the event delivery. Also see: examples of past events.

    • Incidental learning: where an incredible amount is learned just by pursuing your goal
