Participants
take one topic-specific 90 minute module per week over a six to eight week timeframe as part of a cohort.
Babson College’s B-AGILE (Babson Accelerator for Growth, Innovation and Entrepreneurial Leadership) is a customizable framework of 90-minute interactive modules, delivered over six to eight weeks in either an in-person or fully on-line format.
It is designed to provide a cohort business acumen, professional growth, innovative thinking and entrepreneurial leadership skills. Participants form an internal network to solve difficult problems, assess and mitigate risk, apply new business skills to real-time work projects, and drive change within the organization. Graduates become an energized network within the organization, sharing a common vocabulary, innovation mindset, and set of practical tools to create new ideas, develop solutions, and advance them for impact.

The B-Agile program, through Babson, challenged our team members to think outside the day to day and really focus on where we stand in the market. The educators then gave us the tools to be able to project where we want to be and how to get there. I look forward to the results that come from our action oriented plans!”
