Our corporate partners deeply value CEIBS Company Specific Programmes (CSP) based on the following distinctive strengths:

Precise Identification of Business Needs
We works closely with our corporate clients through in-depth communication. Building on a thorough understanding of each client's business strategy and corporate culture, we co-develop Company-Specific Programmes that are fully aligned with the client's strategy and needs.

Flexible Customisation
CEIBS takes a fully customized approach. From exploratory interviews with senior management and needs assessments of prospective participants, to programme design, delivery, evaluation and follow-up activities, we provide end-to-end customisation, management and tracking across intensive short-term training, long-term empowerment and ecosystem collaboration.

Diverse Learning Approaches
We adopt a rich variety of teaching and learning formats, including theoretical lectures, company visits, practical training and action coaching. Programme modules and duration can also be flexibly designed to fit your company's schedule and priorities.

World-Class Faculty
CEIBS’ Company-Specific Programmes are backed by a distinguished faculty. Our professors combine deep academic expertise with extensive teaching experience at leading business schools worldwide, and possess profound insights into the business landscape of China and the Asia-Pacific region. Many of the cases used in our programmes are authored by our own professors. We believe senior management from your organisation can gain direct, actionable value from their teaching.

Actionable Outcomes
CEIBS’ Company-Specific Programmes focus on talent development and strategic execution. By integrating action learning projects and tracking mechanisms, we ensure that learning outcomes extend well beyond the classroom and translate into stronger organizational capabilities and successful strategy execution.

MATCHING PEOPLE GROWTH WITH BUSINESS EXPANSION

Partner: European multinational technology company for plant and equipment.

Participants: 30 participants, primarily divisional and functional heads of Asian division, as well as leaders from company’s European headquarters.

Objective: In an atmosphere of rapid expansion, the scale and speed of the company’s human resource growth has been unable to keep up with the speed of business growth. As a result, the company wished to develop a management training mechanism aimed at providing systematic management training to senior executives and high-potential managers. 

Delivery: Three modules, totalling 16 days, delivered by five CEIBS faculty members.

Outcome: The programme blended traditional classroom learning with several action learning projects which helped participants develop and practice specific strategic skills and behaviours. Through this process, the company was able to extract potential solutions for some of its most critical challenges. Participants also completed a 360° leadership assessment survey in which they evaluated themselves in certain leadership dimensions combined with evaluations from their managers and co-workers. Finally, participants created and implemented their own individual development plans which were then reviewed by their internal mentors during and between programme modules. 

HARNESSING THE OPPORTUNITY OF EMERGING MARKETS

Partner: China Division of a European-based multinational luxury automotive company with more than 25,000 employees worldwide.

Participants: 10 executive VP-level employees.

Objective: China has now become the client’s largest volume market worldwide and, as a result, the members of the China leadership team are increasingly expected to shoulder more responsibilities in support of the company’s global growth plan. The objectives of the strategy workshop were to: define a clearer vision and mission in China for long-term sustainable development; to develop a China Growth Strategy; to set-up parameters to ensure that the strategy could be frequently re-shaped to align with the company’s global strategy; and to be more responsive to local business opportunities and challenges.

Delivery: Two workshops of two days each, four months apart.

Outcome: A China-specific strategic framework was established during the workshop. The programme director provided participants with eight strategic analytical tools to help them constantly review the local-global strategic alignment and balance. A strategic development roadmap for the future was outlined with eight strategic initiatives and programmes identified for immediate action. The programme enabled strategic and critical thinking to move the firm from “Good to Great”. It developed a more balanced strategy between sales and distribution network expansion, incorporating a broader sense of local and global business context with greater strategic competence. Participants enhanced their ability to lead people across different business units, regions and cultures, while equipping the executives with the tools to lead the organisation through new business challenges and opportunities. As a culture builder, it set the organisational development framework and established a unified strategic voice.  

PIONEERING FUTURE LEADERS

Partner: Asia-Pacific Division of a European-based global cosmetics company with more than 50,000 employees worldwide.

Participants: Newly-promoted functional directors, Asia-Pacific.

Objective: Build leadership capabilities in a fast-growing business environment.

Delivery: One-week single module residential programme; mix of assessment, classroom lectures, case studies and individual coaching.

Outcome: The programme gave participants a comprehensive leadership enhancement solution, from self-leadership assessments to the institutionalisation of organisational leadership development. Participants were assigned to individual coaches to enhance not only their professional and career development but also their personal development to prepare them to become future leaders within the organisation. After the programme’s completion, participants were assigned action learning projects. These included five sequential improvement evaluations that lasted eighteen months, measuring participants’ individual development and improvement trajectory, as well as the support and contribution from their direct manager. In the long run, the programme provided a comprehensive leadership development solution to not only participants, but also to stakeholders. This leadership development programme has been so successful that it has now entered its 9th cohort, with CEIBS’ guidance.  

•  "We were pleased with the professional and excellent manner in which the CEIBS staff carried out its mandate to create a concept of studies on the topic of 'Emerging Markets'.

• CEIBS has been a good partner for our company in terms of people development. The EMBA Programme enables senior-level managers to broaden their horizon and social network, and the Executive Education programmes help middle-level managers sharpen their business savvy and strategic mind-set. CEIBS also provides us with customised cases and courseware to address the special needs of our participants from the health care sector. The well-knit lectures, coaching and action-based learning programmes have greatly facilitated the talent development of our company. CEIBS is a leading international business school especially in terms of faculty professionalism and academic leadership. We are very grateful to the school.
