The program takes place over six days with 2-3 hours of live online classes and breaks throughout the day. Class sessions will take place in the HBS Live Online Classroom, and many case protagonists will be present for the live sessions. In addition, participants will have daily 90-minute virtual meetings with their Global Leadership Groups for more personalized discussions of their growth and challenges as global leaders. There is also 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 recommend setting aside 10-15 hours over the course of the program for self-paced work, including case prep. Participants will also need to log into the Live Online Classroom 30 minutes before the start of each session to conduct a technical check.
