An Emphasis on Growth
Growth is now the major challenge facing organizations today. Here's an opportunity to not only manage growth but also embrace it as a driving force that leads to success for both you and your business.
Explore Growth in Three Distinct Areas
Because growth has many dimensions, our executive education programs addresses growth from three distinct areas: top-line growth, bottom-line growth, and individual growth.
-
Top-line growth:
Explore growth in areas such as market segmentation, market opportunities, corporate strategy, strategic leadership, and innovation.
-
Bottom-line growth:
Develop growth strategies that result in increased efficiency through supply chain management, competitive business architecture, and the linking of IT processes to overall strategy.
- Individual, personal growth: Personal growth is necessary for executives seeking the leadership and strategic skills as well as the perspective to be successful.
Experiential Learning
We believe that experience is the best teacher. Our hand-picked faculty have a proven track record of business consulting and research. They include one of the top strategic educators in the world, two of the top 10 executive coaches, the "father" of supply chain management, a Goldman Sachs fellow in finance, and the top business-to-business marketer. From them, participants learn new concepts that work in the real world and models of behavior that can improve performance.
How we teach also impacts how you learn. Unlike many executive education programs that rely on published case studies, Penn State Executive Programs has the ability to develop custom learning scenarios using a "rapid case development process." We quickly develop content based on problems/challenges of a particular company or organization. Working on real-world problems is what experiential learning is all about.
The Return on Your Executive Education Investment
We are able to develop content, select appropriate case studies and articles, and present a model for transformation and performance that allows participants to gauge competitors and measure their own strengths and weaknesses. Participants leave our programs with a broader perspective, a renewed ability to manage others, increased knowledge, and an ability to share that knowledge with others in their organizations. They also return to their firms with a strategy specific to the challenges they face.
A More Tailored Approach to Your Needs
For companies and organizations that would like to bring executive development to their leadership team, we have a systematic process for diagnosing your development needs and a network of faculty that can deliver content anytime and anywhere.
