Our Client Testimonials
To say I’m satisfied is an understatement. In terms of how sticky the learning has been with the participants, how well the perspectives and tools have moved through our organization, and practical and measurable business outcomes. This has been the most effective executive education program I’ve ever seen. They [UNC] have a depth of resources and our relationship has an open dialogue about what matters most. For an academic institution, they are low on academic ego, high on results focus, and treat a client as a partner, not someone to be sold or managed.
UNC is a trusted partner who truly understands our business. We hand over our family values and our strategic objectives, and UNC makes sure that the content facilitated works with and feeds into our desired outcomes for the company. And as a result, our leaders’ eyes are opened to new ways to think more strategically, to be more self-aware, and to embrace change. All of that is because of the relationship that we have through UNC.
Our partnership with UNC has evolved as our company has grown in size and shape. They have been with us through multiple design iterations, they bring unique perspective and professional expertise, and challenge us along the way. It is truly a blended effort of our capabilities and UNC’s, always with the goal in mind to create as high quality of a program together as possible.
