Custom programs can vary significantly in length, and many consist of multiple modules with action learning projects interspersed to drive the learning deep into the organization.
A custom program may be aimed at the senior leadership team, a group of high-potential middle managers, or even a mix, whereby the senior leaders might get an abbreviated version of the program whereas the younger executives get a longer, deeper treatment. Such designs can help assure that all members of the team are on the same page and speak with the same vocabulary about critical issues in the organization.
