Our Executive MBA curriculum has, at its foundation, Systems Thinking. An approach that incorporates elements of operations and design, Systems Thinking provides a framework for navigating the complex, interdisciplinary nature of today’s business environment. Within the five Systems Thinking courses that span the 21-month program, students learn how to:
- Identify a problem within a system or organization
- Search for its source
- Map out how the problem affects the organization
- Find a sustainable solution
Understanding that transformation and learning take place over time, at the core of our curriculum are five other themes that span the length of the program. Within each module, there are courses and learning activities related to each stream providing an interconnected learning experience. In addition to Systems Thinking, the program content streams include:
- Leadership Development
- Measurement & Performance Systems
- Global Markets & Environment
- Technology, Innovation & Growth
- Ethics & Corporate Responsibility
