Client Success Stories
CHALLENGE
Blending online learning with high-profile, intensive face-to-face interaction can provide focus, motivation, fresh ideas, and a stickiness for new skills. However, the scheduling and integration of online and offline components can often be a challenge for training managers and participants alike.
SOLUTION
eCornell's client services team has worked with clients in diverse industries to blend Cornell University faculty with eCornell online programs. The result is expertly aligned content, tightly integrated program scheduling, and excited and motivated program participants.
EXAMPLES

One of the largest not-for-profit organizations in the U.S. used eCornell programs prior to a leadership retreat to facilitate its strategic planning process. The authoring faculty participated in the retreat to help the managers derive tangible outcomes from their scenario planning exercises.
An Ireland-based tourism development authority designed an in-depth executive education program and promoted it to its members. The four-month program combined eCornell online courses in Marketing, Strategy, and Leadership, a week-long educational program at Cornell University, and meetings with key industry executives in New York.
