Who Is Right for the Program
The HBS Executive Education program, Driving Corporate Performance, is intended primarily for senior financial executives in a large established company who are responsible for designing and implementing systems to monitor and improve enterprise performance. It is particularly well suited to senior executives with planning, control, and accounting responsibilities, including:
- Chief financial officers
- Vice presidents of finance
- Strategic planning officers
- Controllers
The program meets the needs of individuals or teams. When general managers or chief operating officers attend along with their senior financial executives, the senior management team can better align performance management systems and accountability with company strategy, and implement systems more quickly throughout the organization.

"Being at HBS, interacting with faculty, and networking with other senior managers across the globe was an enriching experience. In addition to the balanced scorecards, strategy mapping, and risk assessment, I liked the way in which the concepts were presented in a clear and concise manner. This will help me cascade the learning to my team which, I am fairly confident, will assist in driving corporate performance."
