CASE METHOD Pioneered by HBS, the case method is employed as the best tool to teach general management and leadership. Case studies offer multiple levels of learning, compelling participants to identify relevant issues and to apply practical business lessons to their own situations and companies. Executive Education participants benefit from an added dimension that no other business school can offer--the opportunity to be taught by many of the faculty who wrote the cases and have personal knowledge of the problems and solutions presented.
INTERACTION Participant selection, amphitheater classroom seating, discussion group designed, and social activities are all purposefully structured to promote dynamic interchange and shared learning among accomplished peers from a diverse range of companies and industries. To reinforce HBS extraordinary sense of community, participants live on campus in suites of single, private rooms arranged around a common area, providing ready access to colleagues and fostering peer-to-peer engagement. A personal computer equipped with the latest software and Internet connectivity is installed in every participant's room, and executives have full use of the School's state-of-the-art technology.
With 60+ years' experience in Executive Education, Harvard Business School is the leading provider of advancing learning opportunities that strengthen the leadership capacity of both individuals and their organizations. Unlike any other, the HBS Executive Education learning model immerses the world's most promising managers in a transformational experience that transcends the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and tools and fosters professional, intellectual, and personal development.
