Consortium Programs in Co-operation with Our Customer Organizations
Develop your organisation’s capability in operations like logistics, HR and business controlling, and the teams’ competences at the same time. Consortium programs combine dynamic exchange of experiences between different organizations and industries while allowing for the development of own project and organisation. The program goals and scope are co-created with the participating organisations.
What is a consortium program? Four to five organisations send each a team (or two) of four to six participants to the program to learn, explore, and drive change within their own organisations.
