ICGN In-Company Training
“As a result of the in-house training, we advanced in our understanding of how asset managers integrate corporate sustainability information into their investment-making process.”
ICGN provides a service delivering courses to clients ‘in-company’. In-company training involves delivery of a course to a group consisting of the client’s own employees and nominees only.

Working with clients on In-Company courses – A Quality Assured Process
When working with you an in-company course, ICGN follow a process to ensure we are achieving your objectives.
- 1. Taking a Brief – the Consultation call
This is usually a call between our team, including one of our expert trainers, and yours to understand your business and learning objectives – in short:
- What organisational ‘drivers’ led to you requesting this course?
- What do you want to happen as a result of this course?
- What issues need addressing?
- 2. Proposal prepared
We then prepare a proposal for your review, including:
- Confirmation of our understanding of your requirement and objectives
- A detailed agenda, indicating content to be covered, and suggestions as to what mixture of methods we recommend for delivery – e.g. presentation, case study, debate, Q&A
- Format – in person, online or both
- Recommendations of trainers and speakers, including their biographies
- Commercial arrangements including fees
- 3. Course Design and ‘Sign off’
The nominated trainer then designs a course - a schedule, slides, case studies, activities etc. We recommend a ‘check in’ with you every two/three weeks to review progress and validate content. Eventually we ask you to ‘sign off’ the materials prior to delivery.
- 4. Course Delivery
We will send information out to your employees a week or so before a course – including agenda, pre course questionnaires and activities etc.
If a course involves multiple sessions, we recommend ‘check ins’ with you between sessions to review progress.
- 5. Evaluation
At the end of a course, we will seek the views of learners, usually through a link to an online form. We then produce a report for your review against your original objectives, learners’ comments and recommending any ‘next steps’.
What Our Clients Say
ICGN delivered in-company training for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an international organisation shaping policies and establising international standards in response to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges.
Feedback from OECD:
ICGN already had a course largely fit for our needs, but the ‘in-company’ version allowed for considerably more time for discussions, which was important for our needs.
As a result of the in-house training, we advanced in our understanding of how asset managers integrate corporate sustainability information into their investment-making process.
