Success Story: Slingshot, LLC
When Owen Hannay (SMU MBA ’86), CEO, Slingshot, a fast-growing advertising agency in Dallas, wanted to offer his employees broader training in business and management skills, he turned to SMU’s Executive Education program to
customize a program to fit his needs.
“Because of our business, and the fact that we’re a relatively young, creative organization, the training had to be useful, yet interactive and engaging,” he says. “SMU ExED worked hand-in-hand with us to develop programs that were spot on with our needs. Materials were presented in a way to capture our attention and get the message across.”
Hannay’s employees went through a five module training tier:
· Team building/strategic communication
· Project management
· Time management
· Influence
· Conflict resolution
“The training was tailor-made for us and has made a positive impact in our organization,” he says. “ExEd understands what we need to be effective in the business environment, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with this great organization.”
