The Global Economic Crisis Diagnosis, Analysis, and Action

This program is limited to MBA graduates of Harvard Business School and those who have previously participated in an HBS Executive Education program.

Once again, Harvard Business School (HBS) is assembling an expert group of faculty members to present their most recent thought leadership on the global economic crisis to the Harvard community.

Along with HBS faculty and a distinguished group of peers, you will examine new ways to spot and capture opportunities that emerge in the downturn—and position your organization to thrive as the economy recovers. The Global Economic Crisis program will examine these critical questions:

  • What set of factors that contributed to the global recession, the credit crisis, and the breakdown of financial systems?
  • What leadership best practices can help you manage a distressed organization and identify future opportunities?
  • What lessons can be learned to help shape future corporate governance policies and governmental regulations?
  • What lies ahead for the structure and oversight of financial systems and regulations—and for your organizational design?

Following on the success of the inaugural session in March, HBS faculty are incorporating the latest research into the curriculum. By synthesizing the learnings from the first offering, HBS can ensure that practical and actionable insights are delivered to new participants. Please check this website frequently for program updates. Since we expect this offering to fill quickly, please submit your registration form at least four weeks before the program start date.

We hope that you will join us at HBS for this exceptional gathering of Harvard faculty and community members.

This unique program is limited to MBA graduates of Harvard Business School and those who have previously participated in an HBS Executive Education program.
