What is the value proposition for our company?
Other than the obvious benefit that you, as a company, will enjoy through the development and growth of your staff, you have the option to submit a business problem which you would like to be solved. At the beginning of the programme, the participants (in their respective groups) will choose one of the business problems from all the submissions received. Each group must then present a solution to the problem at the end of the course. The programme will coach them on how to consider the problem at hand and deliver the best possible solution. This is not mandatory, but an ideal way for companies to extract even further value from the programme.
