The fundamental issues that face today's business leaders grow increasingly complex. Geopolitical dynamics, newly emerging financial power brokers, unprecedented levels of innovation, and daunting social challenges continue to change the "rules."
To be successful now and in the future, you and your organization must adopt a global business perspective, cultivate corporate social responsibility and awareness, embrace technology, and strive for exceptional execution.

Duke's Advanced Management Program is conducted in two sessions of two weeks apiece at Duke, with a six-week virtual intersession. The virtual intersession leverages the latest Web technologies to continue your learning experience as you begin to apply your new skills in your organization. The unique split-schedule format ensures minimal interruption of your personal and professional lives.

If you are interested in learning about the Advanced Management Program, you can participate in an online virtual information session.

Executive Education: Advanced Management Program reception

During the first week, you'll develop a deep understanding of the dynamics shaping the global business landscape, gain insights into the evolution of the world economy and examine how products, markets, consumers, and competition have changed over time and continue to change. You will explore different cultural perspectives and their implications for business and develop successful strategies for intercultural leadership. This first week will provide you with a broad business context to better understand and explore new opportunities created by emerging financial power brokers.

In the second week, you will examine the changing nature of strategic choices in the new competitive landscape and construct a framework for strategizing and thinking about competitive advantage. During the week, you'll explore the business implications of the latest developments in technology, biotechnology, bioengineering, and health care. You also will assess your role as a business leader in understanding and addressing the interests of society by taking responsibility for the impact of business decisions on customers, employees, shareholders, communities, and the environment in all aspects of your operations.

The third week of the program begins by exploring the unique demands and expectations of senior leaders. Throughout the week you will experience the power of collaborative leadership and develop skills to lead more effectively in a global and virtual world, to lead the work of change, to nurture other leaders, and to create a culture of sustainable innovation. Feedback from your peers and colleagues will help you gain insights into personal strengths and identify development opportunities. One-on-one coaching will help you interpret and integrate this feedback and create an individualized development plan. 

The last week of the program provides highly pragmatic analytical skills, tools, and concepts to apply your new learning in your organization. You will learn successful leadership from a CEO's viewpoint, including how to detect patterns and anticipate shifts in the business environment, how to make more effective decisions, how to innovate at an organizational level, and how to create and establish a new business model. You will create working strategies to ensure that you realize your leadership development goals-- and that your learning continues beyond the program.
