9. In-House Training
Project Management for Results
One of the more popular vehicles for accessing the Institute’s educational offerings is the delivery
of on-site trainings and management facilitations. Bringing a training or facilitation in-house gives
you the opportunity to customize a program that addresses your exact challenges and provides
a more personal learning experience, while virtually eliminating travel expenses. Whether you
require training for your department or for an organization-wide initiative, the advanced learning
methods employed by the American Strategic Management Institute will create an intimate train-
ing atmosphere that maximizes knowledge transfer to enhance the talent within your organization.
Customization
We realize that not all obstacles can be overcome by applying an “off-the-shelf solution”. While
many training providers will offer you some variation of their standard training, the American Stra-
tegic Management Institute’s subject matter experts will work with you and your team to examine
your programs and determine your exact areas of need. The identification of real life examples will
create a learning atmosphere that resonates with participants while at the same time providing
immediate return on your training investment. Using interactive exercises that employ actual proj-
ects or scenarios from your organization, instructors can address specific challenges and align the
curriculum of each session to your objectives. While the majority of on-site trainings are focused on
smaller groups, the American Strategic Management Institute also has the ability to accommodate
organizational-wide training initiatives. Utilizing multiple instructors, The Institute has the capacity
to deliver courses to groups of up to 300 participants per day.
Areas of Expertise
On-site delivery of single courses, certification programs and entire packages of specialized
courses are available in the following areas:
Strategic Planning

studies, ASMI has the knowledge and specialized methodologies to help both you and your

the current and pressing challenges in performance management, human capital management,
financial management, project management, process improvement and marketing. Each event
brings together experts to share best practices, topical scenarios and personal experiences.
Training All of ASMI’s publicly offered courses can be adapted for your offi ce,

for educating your staff with a hands-on forum facilitating both team building and project

strategic communications, process improvement, strategic planning and change management.

an in-house training session. These consultation projects are designed to maximize the

or directors.
