Training & Coaching
Benefits of an Effective Curriculum
The effectiveness of business training and coaching depends largely on the curriculum and trainers involved. Here are some reasons why we have arguably one of the most effective curriculum for business training.
1. Research-Proven: Few business training curriculum can claim to be research-proven to produce results. Meet Ventures had the privilege of working with NUS Business School to conduct a training program that had been research-proven to increase the likelihood of startup success.
2. Industry Adoption: Our business training curriculum has been utilized in programs that we conduct for multinational corporations, listed companies, and government agencies. This guarantees the consistent delivery of a gold standard quality across all our programs.
3. Real World Insights: Given our day-to-day involvement in the startup and innovation space, Meet Ventures is well poised to present the latest industry insights and case studies to complement theoretical textbook learning. Through vivid examples of real world scenarios, we are better able to explain and portray key learning lessons to participants.
4. Localised Context: An effective training curriculum needs to take into account local norms and practices. Given our strong presence and focus on Asia, our curriculum is tailored to doing business in Asia and we are able to share what works and what doesn’t in the region.
