Open ProgramsAdvanced Management

Embark on atransformationalleadership journey.

AdvancedManagementfor SeniorProfessionals

The WHU Advanced Management for Senior Professionals Program

is designed for experienced professionals. The Program focuses

on strategizing during periods of corporate transformation, inspirational

leadership, and the ability to make an impact within organizations

and a globalized economy.

In module 3 you will be able to enhance your capabil-ity to successfully implement strategic change: together with your peers, you will master strategic negotiations and executive communication. At the end of module 3 you will learn how to inspire others to follow your lead, through combining the many different perspectives you have gained. All sessions are designed to challenge your view on transformation and leadership using a mixture of different methodological elements – interactive classroom ses-sions, peer-to-peer feedback and individual as well as group reflections.

You will be inspired by our exceptional learning envi-ronment! Enjoy our comfortable learning facilities de-signed to trigger creativity and remove distractions. An integrated welcome reception and closing dinner ensure you maximize your networking opportunities. You will be awarded a WHU Executive Education Certificate upon successful completion of the program.

This program is specifically designed for experienced leaders who have recently made a transition to a senior management or board-level position, or who are prepar-ing to do so in the near future. Participants should have more than ten years of leadership experience.

This empowering nine-day program consists of three modules with three in-class days each. The first mod-ule starts with a deep-dive into strategic issues relevant to senior professionals from a range of different angles: together with peers, you will reflect upon your leadership purpose and style and also discuss how to approach strategizing in times of uncertainty and transformation. At the end of this first module, you will have gained useful tools for building a strategic vision in order to lead your organization through transformational change. Partici-pants are encouraged to bring their individual strategic challenges into the classroom and discuss these with peers and our program facilitators in a confidential and closed environment.

The second module of this exceptional learning jour-ney is all about mastering executive decision making and disruptive threats such as customer centricity and share-holder activism. Immerse yourself in various strategic chal-lenges including digitalization, executive resilience, navi-gating ethical minefields and the “consumer revolution” and boost your skills tackling these problems. You will also gain real-life insights into how to mobilize supervisory and executive boards more effectively.
