Michigan Ross School of Business, University of Michigan

Corporate cliches are for yesterday’s business. Today's business calls for a new kind of leadership, one that sees beyond yesterday’s cliches and creates meaningful change, the kind of change that yields long-term, sustainable results.

We can help you and your organization achieve this kind of change. There's no better place to do it than the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, one of only four business schools to crack the Top 10 in every BusinessWeek biennial ranking in this country.

You engage with faculty who advise many of the world's top businesses in our action-based, hands-on programs. They know firsthand the real-world challenges you face. Plus we've included more ways to personalize your learning experience so it delivers immediate results for your specific business challenges. This co-creation process and our refreshed curriculum will help you address today's business issues — which clearly are not business as usual. To accommodate time-pressed calendars, we have added new two-day Open Enrollment programs covering topics you told us are important to meeting your business challenges.

No matter the program you choose, you'll come away with new insights and a specific plan you can apply immediately to your organization's challenges. And upon your return to the office, you'll be able to continue the conversation with faculty and other leaders through our new online community, MLeadersforchange.com. It's a place to share ideas, ask questions and gain a different perspective from our global community of leaders and faculty. We hope to see you in Ann Arbor soon.

Thought Leaders With Real-World Expertise.

Leadership is a skill. And today, in this time of leadership void, it is more critical than ever that leaders build their skills to deal with today’s complex business environment. We don’t just teach theories and rely solely on case studies. You’ll engage with faculty who advise many of the world’s top businesses through our action-based, hands-on learning approach. You’ll learn from faculty who know firsthand the real-world challenges you face, whether it is Kim Cameron, Dave Ulrich, Wally Hopp or one of our other thought leaders.

Co-Create Your Learning Experience.

Together with our faculty, you create your learning experience based on your individual leadership and business challenges. You’ll share ideas about how to overcome these obstacles with our faculty and other top executives. Best of all, you’ll leave with an action plan for results that you can put into effect as soon as you get back to the office, and enjoy continued follow-up with faculty to make certain you stay the course and your action plan becomes reality.

A Global Perspective.

Executives from around the globe attend our programs. You personally connect and share ideas with this diverse group of leaders, giving you a global perspective that will help you think in new directions as you address challenges in today’s complex and competitive global marketplace. Intelligence is in the Air. Ann Arbor is one of the richest campus environments in the nation. You’ll stay directly on campus in our newly remodeled Executive Residence. Within walking distance you’ll find exceptional and eclectic dining and a myriad of cultural activities. From football Saturdays in “The Big House” to strolling through the Kerrytown District, your time in Ann Arbor truly will be a transformational experience in a campus setting that’s second to none.

Beyond the Classroom.

Your learning doesn’t stop once you leave your program. Not only will you receive Exceed, the Ross Executive Education monthly e-newsletter, but you will become part of our new online community, MLeadersforchange.com, which will keep you engaged and connected with faculty and other leaders you’ve met during your stay. It’s a place for you to share ideas, ask questions and gain a different perspective, and is exclusive to past participants of our Executive Education programs.
