New for 2027: Enterprise-Level Leadership: Navigate the Enterprise with Agility and Simplicity

WHO IT’S FOR
Senior Directors, Vice Presidents and Of cers stepping into enterprise leadership, including leaders who have previously completed Cultivating High-Performing Teams. They lead leaders, own results that cut across functions and are increasingly visible to the C-suite and the board. It’s built for the executives you’re counting on to steer the business today and to lead it tomorrow.

Overview

New for 2027: Enterprise-Level Leadership features an entirely new curriculum focused on leading at the enterprise level. This program, Enterprise-Level Leadership: Navigate the Enterprise with Agility and Simplicity, will be offered every other year, alternating with Cultivating High-Performing Teams, giving senior leaders two distinct development experiences within the Executive Leadership Program Enterprise Level course.

Delivered in partnership with Heidrick & Struggles, the program builds strategic, people and personal agility while helping leaders simplify complexity, mobilize the organization and lead with condence through ambiguity. Through hands-on simulations, a six-month enterprise team challenge, executive coaching and mentorship, leaders strengthen their ability to make high-stakes decisions, communicate with the C-suite and board, and work on the business rather than in it.
