From the start, you'll take on a leadership role, discovering ways to look at issues from new perspectives. You'll learn how to generate a more diverse array of possible interpretations, and therefore, a wider range of possible solutions. Through class work, group work, and individual study, you'll practice strategic analysis daily, until it becomes a natural, ingrained response. The program focuses on skills associated with the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) executive core qualifications (ECQs) and is designed for federal government employees at the GS-14/GS-15 levels and their military counterparts. Many government agencies offer the SEF program as part of their Senior Executive Services (SES) Candidate Development Programs (CDPs).

The goal of the program is to prepare participants with the skills to become effective ‘decision architects’, who design optimal decision making environments within their organizations and improve overall organizational performance. Tough decisions are the essence of leadership. Using the latest research, case study discussions, and real-time activities in the new Harvard Decision Science Laboratory, program participants will have the opportunity to examine both the scientific basis for and the practical aspects of judgment and decision making, and learn how to build lasting leadership skills that incorporate this knowledge. Dates: June 23 – 28, 2013 Application Deadline(s): April 23, 2013 Cost: $6,800 (includes tuition, housing, curricular materials and most meals.)

Participants design and develop a prototype IT product and prepare a business plan and venture proposal presentation. Any manager who wants to be able to evaluate the business model of his or her enterprise division, or expert who wants to use the technical knowledge he or she has developed in years of study and business practice should attend.

Dates: January 14 – May 4, 2013 Application Deadline: January 10, 2013 Location: IIT Main Campus, Chicago and ONLINE Course Tuition: $2,450 Contact Number: 312.567.5280 Table of Contents Loyola University ChicagoProject Management Certificate Programhttp://www.luc.edu/quinlan/executive-education/project-management-program/index.shtml As budgets get smaller, deadlines get tighter, and projects get more complex, organizations that employ formally trained project managers are rewarded with immediate savings in time and money. Without formal training, individuals must develop their own processes for managing projects through trial and error, leading to inefficient outcomes and use of resources. Effective project management involves building and managing teams, controlling costs, developing timelines, managing risk, meeting deadlines, and solving problems to bring projects in on time and on budget. This program will improve participants' performance by providing industry-standard tools approved by the Project Management Institute (PMI®) to help successfully manage any type of project regardless of scope or industry. Focusing on the proven methodology behind effective project management, the program allows participants to practice these concepts in a project-based team environment. Time built into the program for sharing insights, past experiences, and best practices make the course even more relevant and applicable for all participants. Completion of Loyola's Project Management Certificate program fulfills the 35 hours of project management education required for PMP® certification through the Project Management Institute.

In response, organizations struggle to speed learning and adopt a more systemic approach. The challenge is to move past slogans about accelerating learning and “thinking systemically” to practical tools that help managers understand complexity, design better operating policies, and guide effective change. This program introduces participants to system dynamics, a powerful framework for identifying, designing, and implementing high-leverage interventions for sustained success in complex systems. It has been used successfully in diverse industries and organizations, such as Airbus, Compaq, General Motors, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and Merck. Developed at MIT more than thirty years ago by computer pioneer Jay Forrester, systems dynamics led to the creation of management flight simulators that allow managers to experience the long-term side effects of decisions, accelerate learning, and design structures and strategies for greater success. Through intensive, hands-on workshops and interactive experiments, participants will be exposed to the principles of systems thinking and practical methods for putting them into action. They will be introduced to a variety of tools, including mapping techniques, simulation models, and MIT’s management flight simulators, which they can apply to their own business environment as soon as they complete the program. Throughout the week, participants work in small groups and interact closely with the course leaders, Professors Sterman and Repenning.
Offered jointly with IMD, this program will combine marketing, product development, technology assessment, value-chain design, project execution, and talent management in an end-to-end roadmap for achieving breakthrough performance. It will demonstrate how to build organizational relationships that facilitate knowledge transfer, both within the firm and across the value chain. Using a dynamic and integrative value-chain framework created at MIT, participants will gain the capability to position their organizations for future growth. Participants will leave this program armed with the knowledge of how to influence corporate culture, alter the way their organization responds to the challenge of innovation, and strengthen relationships with partners along the value chain. Dates: Apr 07-12, 2013| Sep 08-13, 2013| Sep 07-12, 2014 Location: April 2013: IMD Campus, Lausanne, Switzerland; September 2013 & 2014: MIT Campus, Cambridge MA Costs: April 2013 at IMD: CHF 11,500 (excluding accommodations) September 2013 at MIT: $11,500 (excluding accommodations) E-mail: sloanexeced@mit.edu Table of Contents Understanding and Solving Complex Business Problemshttp://executive.mit.edu/openenrollment/program/understanding_and_solving_complex_business_problems/36 This program will introduce participants to “systems thinking” as a response to the rapid changes in technology, population, and economic activity that are transforming the world, and as a way to deal with the ever increasing complexity of today's business. Systems thinking was devised to improve people's ability to manage organizations comprehensively in a volatile global environment. It offers managers a framework for understanding complex situations and the dynamics those situations produce. Senior managers can use the system dynamics method to design policies that lead their organizations to high performance. The program is intended to give participants the tools and confidence to manage organizations with full understanding and solid strategy. The program will offer a new way of thinking about and resolving complex, persistent problems that emerge from change. Applying organization theory along with intuitive principles of feedback control, participants will learn to: - Assess the likely impact of different policies and decisions that relate to their organization's growth, stability, and performance - Recognize business system archetypes that can trigger persistent, long-term problems - Use state-of-the-art management tools to identify relationships - Intervene effectively to make fundamental changes
Understand how funding decisions are made and how they can influence those decisions by applying financial principles to project evaluation and resource allocation Learn how to assess projects for their potential economic value Conduct discounted cash flow (DCF) valuations This program is designed for executives who manage project teams and departments, and technical professionals involved with R&D, product and software design, engineering, and other scientific and technical work.
