The HR-Executive Suite Connection—Virtual

Through a rich learning experience that includes faculty presentations, case studies, and small group discussions, you will learn how human resources executives can play a central role in driving growth and achieving operational excellence. Throughout this virtual program, you will have the opportunity to practice analyzing problems, collaborate with peers on strategies for creating business value, and learn what CEOs need from their human capital experts.

To help you apply your learning when you return to work, you will develop an action plan focused on your organization's strategic business challenges. This presentation, which you will fine-tune based on feedback from the HBS faculty and your program peers, will serve as the foundation for discussions with your organization's senior leadership team.

The program takes place over three weeks, with live online classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays (11:00 AM to 2:30 PM ET, including a 30-minute break), and small group discussions for learning and networking at 10:00 AM and 2:30PM ET. Class sessions will take place via the Zoom platform. You will also have ample opportunity for interaction with faculty and peers inside and outside the class sessions.

Collaborative learning is an integral part of the experience. To maximize the benefit for everyone, you are expected to attend every session, complete all assignments, and contribute effectively in the class and in small groups. We advise setting aside a total of 10-15 hours per week for program work in addition to the synchronous class sessions.
