Whether you are a general manager who wants to take business performance to a higher level, or a new director or VP assuming P&L responsibility, Carnegie Mellon's Program for Executives is tailored for you. That's because it is the most personalized four week general management executive education program offered by a top-ranked business school. The Program for Executives builds stronger general managers by: * Combining a comprehensive general management curriculum and a personal development focus * Integrating strategy, finance, process management, marketing and leadership in a powerful curriculum * Affording participants an opportunity to think and learn with business leaders from around the globe * Providing global perspectives on business today and the future, and * Complementing classroom learning with personalized academic and executive coaching The challenges of general management responsibility are significant and variable - regardless of your background, experience or prior education. Unfortunately, executive education programs historically have not focused on the individual development needs of their participants. By contrast, Carnegie Mellon's Program for Executives offers you (along with other general managers) the opportunity to learn from top professors, and includes personalized competency building so that you can emerge with new knowledge, skills, and the energy necessary to lead your business. Carnegie Mellon's Program for Executives has been bringing senior managers from around the world together with our top-ranked faculty for close to 50 years. However, 4-week general management programs have to evolve given that any time "away from the office" today needs to be productive and valuable in immediate and obvious ways. This new reality has led to a redefinition of the Program for Executives that is focused on: * Efficient Learning of Cutting-edge General Management Models * Objective-Based Personal Development * Leadership Energy for Immediate Impact.
