The Future is Now

The Institute for Defense and Business (IDB) has now made it possible to attend many of our programs virtually. This transformation began in April 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 outbreak and in an effort to deliver as many of our programs as possible to our clients in that restrictive environment. Designed from our successful Life Cycle Executive Leadership Program (LCELP), a fully virtual LCELP “Core Knowledge” program has been developed to meet the demands of our clients. This asynchronous and live collaborative learning environment promises to be very rewarding and meet the high educational standards that IDB programs have always provided.
