Programs for Organizations

Flexible design to help your organization reach its strategic goals

We partner with you to ensure your customized program is closely aligned to your organization's strategy and highly relevant to your stakeholders. We deliver fresh thinking and on the job learning to create lasting impact at all levels of your organizations.

Co-design a program for targeted learning

More nimble, adaptable and collaborative teams. Stronger leaders, problem solvers and communicators. And an organization that's ready for the disruptive challenges ahead. If these are your strategic priorities, we'll work with you to develop a custom program that bridges current gaps in skills and expertise, builds new potential and accelerates progress toward long-term goals.

Transform your organization or professional association

For nearly two decades, we've developed custom-designed programs in collaboration with clients across the spectrum of industries and sectors, from Starbucks and TD Bank Group to Canada Post, SickKids Foundation and the Government of Ontario – to name just a few.

We start by connecting you with one of our leading faculty members, who assesses your organization's needs and tailors program content to your unique strategic and business challenges. Then we develop and deliver your custom program – on the Rotman campus or at your preferred venue – taking care of all the logistics while your team focuses on expanding their skills, gaining new insights and working together more effectively to achieve sustainable impact.

Faculty

At the Rotman School, we place a premium on original thinking and rigorous scholarship. In the classroom, our top-ranked professors share the knowledge they have gained from years of experience in both business and academia. Outside the classroom, some of the greatest minds in business share their insights at conferences, seminars and speaker series, and in articles for Rotman Management Magazine.

Rotman has strategically invested in hiring faculty members who publish influential research in their fields. Learning from industry-shaping individuals raises the level of classroom debate and makes a significant difference in our classroom experience.
