Executive Leadership: Preparing for an Uncertain Future provides leaders with the skills necessary to differentiate their organization in an economy governed by uncertainty, increasing competitive threats, and expanding global opportunities.
This online 4-course certificate series is the product of leading faculty from Cornell's highly respected executive education programs. The course content has been honed through experience with major corporate clients, and it addresses the issues that are most critical in the development of corporate leaders: the abilities to think and plan strategically, make good decisions, and innovate.
Each participant will develop an industry assessment analysis using Porter's Five Forces model, create a competitive analysis of their firm, apply the scenario planning process to their industry and organization, identify trend indicators to monitor, and outline key success factors and core competencies. Participants will practice critically evaluating information, assessing the environmental factors that shape a company's actions and options, generating new ideas for innovation in their organization, and using both informal and formal mathematical methods for optimizing decision making.
Courses may be taken in any sequence with the exception of Strategic Thinking and Scenario Planning, which must be taken in the sequence listed below.
