An advanced training module for aspiring generalist managers. Constructed around three key axes of executive competencies - leadership, strategic decision making, and broader context sensemaking. (formerly Advanced Management)
Being a successful executive requires an in-depth understanding of how organizations work. Effective managers and leaders must learn not only how to develop winning strategies, but also how to implement them, with what tools, and in what context.
