Custom Programs: Our Proven Approach

Curriculum tailored for your organization’s unique needs

Drawing on Stanford’s world-class teaching and research as well as countless collaborations with entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and government officials, we have developed a proven approach to learning that combines leadership, strategy, technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

You can choose from lightly-customized versions of our open enrollment programs or specialized solutions designed in collaboration with your organization. We will work with you to create a custom learning experience that will enable you to solve your own real-world challenges long after you’ve left the classroom.

Discovery

Our team of program design experts will work with you to determine your educational goals. Through exploratory meetings, they’ll assist you in articulating your specific challenges so you’re sure to get the program results that address your particular needs.

Design

You’ll work with Stanford faculty to engineer a program framework that acknowledges your organization's purpose and culture.

Develop

Our team will work with faculty to build a curriculum and develop materials for you to review. Your program might have many different elements, including action-learning modules, case studies, guest lecturers, and site visits.

Debrief

More than a casual conversation about what worked and what didn’t work, our post-program analysis will allow us to determine why things happened. We’ll restate our original objectives, review results, and dig deep into what we should do next to continue to get great results.

Stanford and the Silicon Valley

You will study the frameworks designed by Stanford faculty who have helped launch and lead scores of successful Silicon Valley companies. You will hear the results of their pioneering research and real-world insights on applying technology at scale in Silicon Valley companies that excel in disruption and innovation.

Customized Delivery

Whether you are seeking a fully-immersive experience for a group of senior leaders or want to make an organization-wide shift in mindset, we have a program for you. Choose from in-person or online programs, or like many of our clients, design your own blended version to meet your organization’s needs.

Online

Influence individuals throughout your organization and across the globe with flexible, online learning programs. By providing learning to many, you’ll be able to cultivate a true cultural shift.
