The Partnership Process

An Elon University Executive Education team will be dedicated to work closely with your executive team to insure that program design and delivery meet your business goals.

Business Evaluation – Together we will explore the challenges your business faces in meeting its business objectives, your industry, factors necessary for business success, and opportunities to gain a competitive advantage.

Needs Analysis – Focus groups may be held with executives, departmental managers, human resource professionals, and potential participants to define critical needs, audiences, objectives and outcomes for the program.

Program Design – Elon's team will work with the client company to develop program content tailored to meet the client's objectives. The program draft will be submitted for the client's review and feedback. Once final approval is received, the Executive Education staff will schedule the program and coordinate delivery.

Program Delivery – Programs may be delivered on the Elon Campus, at the client's site if facilities exist, or at another appropriate location such as a conference center. The Ernest A. Koury Sr. Business Center houses the LabCorp Suite for Executive Education , providing an ideal venue for such programs. Instructors may include Elon faculty, industry experts, business leaders and consultants, as well as company personnel, depending on the content and design of the program.

Evaluation and Follow-up – Elon University Executive Education's staff are on hand throughout the program to ensure fulfillment of design objectives and expectations. Following each program, participants are asked to evaluate the program's effectiveness. Participants are asked to evaluate the program's value to the company and the anticipated application of knowledge to on-the-job performance. Follow-up is also conducted with the client's executive team to review the impact of the program and return on investment.
