Instructional Format
The instructional format consists of a combination of lectures by highly respected specialists and team participation in a classic IHRDC business workshop. The workshop, which typically takes almost one half of the instruction time, has been highly rated by past participants for its effectiveness in internalizing the learning, generating discussion among team participants, and creating long-lasting friendships and contacts around the world. This combination of excellent lecturers and interactive workshop sessions has proven to be an ideal way to expose the participants to the practical needs of today’s international energy managers.
