The Walt Disney Company is teaming up with Learning Tree to offer Disney Institute professional development programs in select cities throughout the U.S. Beginning August 2009, the relationship will bring a broad range of Disney Institute content to Learning Tree Education Centers, enabling individuals and intact work teams to select content that is ideally suited to meet their organizations’ needs.
“Disney Institute and Learning Tree are great complements to one another, and these new programs will deliver innovative Disney content into these exceptional education centers,” said Jeff James, vice president for Disney Institute. “Both organizations share a commitment to providing outstanding service, which ensures that the learning experience will be as powerful as the program content.”
Disney Institute curricula cover business practices that have transformed Disney into a global benchmark and one of the world’s most admired brands. Programs offered at Learning Tree Education Centers will include in-depth studies of the Disney approach to:
- Leadership Excellence
- People Management
- Quality Service
- Brand Loyalty
- Inspiring Creativity
Nick Schacht, CEO and President of Learning Tree International, said,
“Disney Institute brings an entirely new kind of professional development experience to Learning Tree customers. Participants in Disney Institute courses will learn business practices that have been proven through decades of successful application at Disney. Furthermore, they can begin using these same practices immediately in their own organizations. This real-life approach is a wonderful addition to our portfolio of hands-on training courses and another example of the innovative content that Learning Tree provides worldwide.
Disney Institute was created to showcase “the business behind the magic” – proven Disney business practices that easily adapt to other organizations. One of the most recognized names in professional development, Disney Institute travels the world offering engaging seminars, workshops and presentations and fully customized programming.
