The old way:

You pay thousands of dollars to spend a precious week of your time at a trusted prestigious University and come home having learned interesting but fuzzy concepts with no idea how to apply them.

Or you attend a high level meeting and learn through your network that the last popular management idea produced activity but no bottom line results, and the new one is routinely costing three times more than the high initial sales estimates.

The BTS results-driven way:

• You pick the leading edge IP you need from a list of options which have been carefully screened, critically validated, and then simulated using real world data - the alliance of business, academia and consultants is used refine the IP while eliminating bias and marketing spin
• Using the Value Creation Lab, you experientially learn the concepts AND how to apply them to the real world
• The classes give you time to network with your peers from other industries - gain insight as to how others are coping with the same types of challenges
• Take home an actionable list that will allow you to test these concepts in your organization
• Have an experienced mentor support you as you apply these management technologies
• Use metrics which point to the bottom line impact you could expect if you implement these techniques throughout your organization
• Use scheduled audits and properly focused metrics to determine if the "improvement" is truly delivering and to ensure the old paradigms do not resurface
• Move to the next critical need in your organization for sustained business enhancement

Risk is managed.  Cost is managed.

Innovation and Growth are enhanced in a sustained manner.
