These sessions start with a virtual kick-off meeting led by our facilitation team, followed by a series of asynchronous modules. Participants will then reconvene for a one-hour session to share insights, address questions, and foster collaboration. Accessible to organizations of all sizes, these workshops provide a comprehensive and flexible learning experience.
