Inside the CLP Experience:
In these video segments, participants and faculty describe the transformational experience that helps change the way executives think, manage, and solve problems; discuss what it takes to turn functional experts into accomplished general managers; and reveal the perfect mix that prepares high-potential managers to lead their companies.
Participant Recommendations
"There are very few opportunities in life where you can actually remove yourself from your day-to-day responsibilities and dedicate yourself to learning and development. I would recommend the Advanced Management Program (AMP) for people who need to rethink their techniques, frameworks, and analytical approach. From that perspective alone, AMP has been a fabulous learning experience that will live with me for the rest of my career."
Marianne Erlandsen [Managing Director, Regional Head], The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, U.S.

"From the program content and cases to the lectures and networking, Leadership Best Practices exceeded my expectations. The value of the experience extends far beyond the time spent in the classroom. I came back with many new ideas on leadership and change and other topics, which I'll be sharing with the partners in my company."
Panos Manolopoulos [Vice Chairman – Regions, Managing Partner – UAE], Stanton Chase International, United Arab Emirates
