Resources for Lockdown and Beyond: US & Canada

As we continue to monitor the impact the ongoing coronavirus crisis is having on the executive development sector, we will be reporting on some invaluable content responses from business schools around the world.

IEDP will be shining a light on resources that may prove helpful to you and your business—as business schools around the world seek to redouble their support for the business community. Last week we highlighted three useful resource pages from some top UK business schools.

Today we turn to the US and Canada and highlight four business schools who are activating field-leading experts, from a wide variety of disciplines, and targeting that expertise towards the issues, questions, challenges and spheres of learning that are most relevant to all of us through this testing period—whether for senior leaders, middle managers, SMEs or large organizations.
