General Management Program Creating Outstanding Business Leaders

Designed to create outstanding business leaders, GMP helps participants master new skills, manage across functional and organizational borders, explore diverse perspectives, and develop more effective leadership skills. The result is a personal transformation that serves both the individual and the sponsoring organization.

What You Can Expect
Early career success often comes through specialization in a single functional domain, but further advancement frequently requires the development of a more general set of skills and a more comprehensive, multi-functional perspective. GMP's goal is to smooth and accelerate this difficult and risky transition for senior leaders.

Who Is Right for the Program
GMP is designed primarily for executives with recently acquired or significantly expanded general management responsibilities, and for senior functional managers who need a broader perspective on company operations or who will soon become business-unit, division, or regional leaders.

Investment in the Future
Participants return to their organizations with the analytical skills needed to identify, frame, and solve complex business problems, the confidence to make important business decisions and the leadership skills needed to drive fundamental change in their organizations and industries.

Your Course of Study
Through a tightly integrated structure with both on- and off-campus modules, this executive education program provides an action-oriented and collaborative learning environment. The case-based curriculum presents a holistic picture of leadership with an emphasis on practical knowledge and personalized learning.
