Business Transformation initiatives present make-or-break career opportunities. This forum equips the executive with the process, knowledge and skills necessary to look across an enterprise and properly identify and guide critical business transformation efforts.
This forum is a "think tank" for executives who can significantly impact their business, and an opportunity to interact with peers across industries and geography. The Forum provides both a learning opportunity and an interactive experience where participants have the chance to brainstorm strategies for resolving the real issues and challenges encountered throughout transformation efforts. Knowledge exchange will be captured and distributed so participants can focus on topics and interaction.
This course will provide you with 2.1 Continuing Education Units.
The instructors take an extremely personalized approach... They also provide insightful, intelligent and practical information to help executives excel in their professional and personal lives. I am certain that I have become a much more effective and successful person...
