    Learning groups - Immerse yourself in an environment that creates space for deep, constructive engagement with a diverse set of peers from leading organizations. You'll forge powerful connections and gain valuable perspectives in our intimate learning groups. These smaller groups within your program cohort will transform into a personal board of advisors during the program and beyond.


    Interactive exercises - This program allows participants to apply their learning through interactive exercises. You’ll develop your own OAS (Objective, Advantage, Scope) strategy statement and link it to a customized strategy map and balanced scorecard for your organization. You’ll also learn how to use the Job Design Optimization Tool (JDOT) to optimize accountability and authority.

    Why Harvard Business School?

    Harvard Business School doesn't trade on prestige alone — it has spent over a century building a pedagogy that is genuinely different. The case method, developed and refined at HBS, means that even a three-day open program puts you in the seat of a CEO facing a real decision, not a consultant presenting a framework. If you want to be taught at, there are cheaper options. If you want to be challenged to think differently, HBS is hard to match.
