Strategic Edge is offered in both Live and Asynchronous delivery options.
Live
delivery means you will be meeting virtually with other participants for a peer-to-peer based, learning experience on a weekly basis. The times and duration are set in advance.
Asynchronous
means that you will follow the same schedule as the live participants, however there will be no weekly meeting to attend.
In both options, the content remains the same and you will still have access to advising sessions.
Are you interested in participating in a
Live or Asynchronous
cohort?
