Who Is Right for the Program

OPM is designed for successful, ambitious business owners who are willing to demand more of themselves and are capable of contributing to vibrant group activities. Candidates must hold a significant equity stake in their firm and be actively involved in running the business. The ideal candidate is a chief executive officer, president, chief operating officer, managing director, or the equivalent at a company with annual sales of at least $5 million.

Representing a broad range of organizations, participants hail from countries around the world. This global diversity not only empowers you to negotiate, compete, and conduct business across borders, but also enables you to expand your professional network with successful business leaders worldwide.

"OPM was an outstanding experience. The interaction with fellow attendees on a personal level created deep, lifelong friendships, while at the same time facilitating powerful interlearning. The group interaction in the case studies coupled with the class discussions challenged my business mindset and helped me develop new and creative business models."
Padraig O'Ceidigh [Chairman], Aer Arann, Ireland

"One of the most energizing parts of the program is the amazing group of people that I have become friends with from all over the world. Since I graduated from OPM, our globe has become much smaller. I can call on any one of my fellow graduates in over 20 countries, and they will be there for me—as I would be for them."
