The Forum Corp. believes that successful executive development requires a variety of learning events, including classroom and technology-based learning, assessment and feedback, coaching and mentoring, on the job learning opportunities, and special project assignments. To that end, The Forum Corp. offers to its customers technology-based learning capabilities, including a Web-based feedback and personal development system and Web-based performance improvement tools and resources. However, The Forum Corp. views technology-based leadership development tools as only one supporting element of a larger learning solution comprised of a rich combination of the above events.
