Profile

The case method is an individual study and group discussion-based learning methodology where Learners gain skills in analysis and problem solving through the practice of real situations.

This method makes the internal training more relevant by using real company practice as instructional cases. It also helps learners review the projects involved in the cases and learn from the successes. They can apply what they learn in class to improve their performance more effectively. Many prestigious companies and universities have adopted this effective new training method based on business cases, which is becoming a new highlight of internal training.

Our practice-based case development course brings together the expertise of corporate business professionals, exceptional writers, and instructional designers and features experiential learning and on-site practices. The developed corporate micro-cases and supporting materials can be applied to in-company training, thematic seminars, and promotional activities.
