for Better Employee Development
As an HR or L&D leader, you need more than training. You need a trusted partner that supports your strategy, aligns with your goals, and helps you create lasting impact. The IMS model makes that possible through a simple structure that connects learning, reinforcement, and application.
Live, Expert-Driven Learning
Live expert programs that will engage and inspire employees. Bestselling authors and renowned faculty lead live sessions, virtual or in-person, covering the topics that matter most to you, your leaders, and your organization.
Knowledge Sustainability
Our award-winning 3,000-lesson microlearning library provides learning reinforcement. Our on-demand QuickCoach platform supports continued learning with short, actionable lessons that strengthen skills and drive retention for IMS or even your own internal training programs, helping you to make learning stick.
