The Minnesota Executive Program is a powerful advanced business strategy and leadership program designed for top executives. It's an efficient, successful method for gaining a clear understanding of the economic environment and competencies working with strategic models as well as the ability to leverage technology, gain market share, and effectively engage and lead people.
 

In four weeks-one week a month from September through December-you will participate in a highly energetic, interactive environment that includes discussion sessions, small group work, reflection, reading, case studies, and live cases-all designed to improve your executive capabilities. And, best of all, the program will generate immediate payback for you and your organization.

 MEP gives you the opportunity to:

• Develop significant business strategy and leadership vision
• Acquire a complete set of advanced business knowledge and skills
• Work with a select network of executive peers and share best practices
• Study with seasoned executive faculty who have produced a strong body of significant research
• Learn successful applications as well as business theories
• Augment the qualitative judgments and analytical techniques required to perform as an executive problem solver.

 

The Minnesota Executive Program provides world-class faculty that will meet your exacting criteria. As you cover the comprehensive breadth and quality of topics, the MEP faculty will inspire you.

 

Drawing from the academic side, you will work with notable professors from the Carlson School of Management, who are published researchers as well as visionaries. Carlson faculty are business innovators--of new fields and improved tools that benefit corporate performance. Carlson faculty are creators--of interdisciplinary ideas and applied thinking that influence global business economics.
 

Drawing from the business side, you will work with senior-level practitioners, accomplished thought leaders, and "been-there, done-that" chief operating officers who are internationally recognized. Their candor, as well as their concern for your success, sets the bar high in terms of transformational learning.

 
MEP is comprised of four modules. Each module takes place one week a month over four months. Three modules are held at the Oak Ridge Conference Center in Chaska, MN and one at Carlson School of Management in Minneapolis. You have the option of taking the Fundamentals of Finance course prior to the program start. This is recommended for anyone without a substantial financial background. The Finance course takes place at the Carlson School of Management.

 

The program pays for itself

Of course, you must put time, attention, energy, and focus into the program, but you and your company will see an immediate payback.

You'll find that you're viewing problems and opportunities from a clearer perspective. You'll discover that you can implicitly see what steps need to be taken to create a solution or take advantage of a situation. And you'll have the skills-and the additional confidence-to make the right strategic decisions.

Candidates for this program are senior executives who have strategic responsibilities within their organizations and have about 15 years of business experience. Participants hold titles such as: CEO, COO, CFO, CIO, CLO, President, Vice President, General Manager, Director, Division Head, or Business Owner.

To enhance the overall learning experience, we seek to admit people to the program with comparable management responsibilities and diverse skills and experiences. The Admission Committee takes into account a candidate's organizational level; management experience, especially in senior management; and future responsibilities. We seek to admit senior-level candidates who reflect a broad range of industries, functions, and backgrounds to enrich the networking and learning experience.

Class size is limited to maximize classroom and team participation, so early application is encouraged. Program applications are accepted on a rolling basis and are reviewed upon submission until the program fills.
