Senior Director to Non-Financial VP Level
Used at Fortune 500 organizations across the globe.
Commonly Used for High-Potential Directors
An ideal leadership experience for rising leaders who will one day sit at the executive table.
It was great to understand how a business works from a high level perspective and see how all the parts fit together to run a successful company. Sometimes we concentrate so much on our specific areas, that we don’t always consider the larger picture.

I was able to bring formulas and models directly from the program to shine a light on problems my client was having (and talk them out of a less-than-advisable investment).
