Customized Online Programs
Our online courses can also be used to build study units that support the strategic goals of an organization or team. We co-design impactful, fully online programs with our customers. The virtual programs utilize Aalto EE’s existing/topical online courses. The program outcome and the impact of the participant’s learning experience will be enhanced by tailoring various learning elements around the online courses, e.g., live webinars, assignments between the online modules, online check-ups with the program director and the program director faculty, and small group discussions.
For
Our online courses are designed for executives, managers, and professionals who value flexibility in learning and completing their studies. They provide development opportunities for individuals, teams, and organizations alike. They correspond in a variety of ways with the development of new knowledge and skills, for example, in the following situations:
For individuals
- applying for a new job and wanting to update their knowledge on the basics of leadership.
- tasked with developing new services or innovations and needing the tools to do so.
- having responsibilities for strategic change projects and wanting a comprehensive package to help them succeed.
For teams
- where each member must update their skills to leverage the customer and user-driven design process in developing new services.
- with members unfamiliar with the definition of data and the principles of its analysis, wanting to stay up to date on this topic and complete the course together in preparation for future challenges.
For organizations
- where a successful strategy requires the development of value-based thinking in marketing and sales. Completing the online course prepares executives to create marketing and sales projects supporting the strategy.
- scarcing financial resources challenge the profitability of an organization, and knowledge of the basics of economics requires reinforcement.
- where executives and unit managers need to be coached now, at the very latest, to lead change through operations globally. A need has been identified, and a change management course supporting self-development is being sought, which can be included as a part of a broader coaching program, if necessary.
