Successful managers and business owners do more than manage functions; they lead people, design and define strategies, and achieve results. The Strategic Experience (TSE) program format is practical and action-oriented - it incorporates hands-on exercises; real-world case studies; and a dynamic, web-based business simulation. TSE showcases the expertise, talents, and experience of the participants by engaging you in discussions and networking opportunities with other organizational leaders and faculty.
The program is designed for the new or experienced manager, or business owner who needs to develop a broader-based understanding of the different business functions and how they work together.
Past participants have held a variety of positions, such as:
TSE returns you to your workplace with new insights about yourself, others, and business. You will explore methods and tools used by successful managers to anticipate, adapt, and achieve in the competitive economy. You will add skills to your leadership toolbox that will help you:
1) Understand the interdependence of organizational functions. The days of "functional silos" are gone. Effective organization have flexible people who can operate in cross-functional teams and understand that the entire organizational system creates a competitive organization. The TSE case studies and team activities sharpen your skills in creating and excelling in a collaborative environment.
2) Grasp the critical changes that affect the business environment today. Change, flexibility, customer-focus, quality, and organization learning are among the key realities in today's business environment. TSE case studies drawn from timely business conditions provide an understanding of new demands in the world economy.
3) Practice business decision-making. Poor business decisions cost organizations time and money. The TSE business simulation provides a unique opportunity to function as an "Executive Team" and experience the results of good and poor decisions.
4) Examine your own management and leadership strategies. A leader's "emotional intelligence" and awareness of his/her management style are considered key indicators of success. Through the TSE Management/Leadership Skills Assessment, you will learn more about yourself, take a deeper look at how you interact with others at work, and develop a strategy for making your interpersonal relationships more effective.
5) Network with other participants and faculty. Having a good network is invaluable. The TSE activities provide many chances to interact with leaders of various organizations and top-rated faculty.
