Business in learning: How Kohler turned its dealer meet into a learning programme

Kohler organised a 5-day campus residential programme at IIM Bangalore for its key dealers and channel partners.

Organising the annual sales meet in Bangkok or Dubai is a passé. Kohler, the luxury bathroom accessories company, changed its dealer meet into management development programme.

In June this year, it launched a unique programme called ‘Back to School’ for which it partnered with the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore. The learning intervention was designed as a five-day on campus, residential, management development programme that brought together 15 top dealers of the company to learn more about enhancing their business strategies.

The programme that was held from June 5–9, helped the channel partners or distributors gain more knowledge, enabling overall development across personal and outlet space. It offered them value addition beyond their sales targets, as they learnt about advancing their family business better.
