Last week, a team of University of Notre Dame Mendoza School of Business MBA candidates worked with IHS staff to re-imagine and re-design our Capacity Building Assessment program for the 21st century and beyond.

Following some additional in-house testing, we look forward to launching the new model soon. If you're interested in being among the first to get an assessment, email jordanj@ihsnet.org. |
