The Ken Blanchard Companies – Bachelors and Masters Programs

Grand Canyon University
The Ken Blanchard Companies and Grand Canyon University have been partners in learning for more than five years.

In addition, Blanchard and the Ken Blanchard College of Business collaborate on course creation at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
The Ken Blanchard Executive MBA—This highly innovative program has been designed to combine Ken Blanchard’s renowned research on values-based leadership with the rigor of a challenging executive-level graduate business education
Unlike other Executive MBA programs, the Ken Blanchard EMBA begins and ends with leadership. The first module, ‘Leading Self’ provides an introspective look at the individual leader and uses a variety of proven self-assessment tools to assist student-executives in identifying areas for further leadership development. The journey continues with subsequent modules on ‘Leading Others’ at the team and business unit levels and ‘Leading Organizations’ at the strategic level. A lifetime of Ken Blanchard’s captivating work on leadership is integrated throughout the curriculum.
Additionally rather than teaching the business courses from the traditional functional perspective, the Ken Blanchard EMBA uses a unique cross-functional approach that focuses on the often conflicting interests of key stakeholder groups including customers, shareholders, employees, and communities. This unusual teaching approach enables students to develop the critical thinking skills necessary to make the right decisions that create value for customers, keep employees fully engaged, and ensure profitability and sustainability for shareholders.
The five main themes that thread throughout the program include:
Values Based Learning
Servant Leadership
Global-Mindedness
Being Both People and Results-Oriented
Innovation and Entrepreneurial Spirit
