As a senior functional manager ready to take that next step in your career, you need access to the latest thinking and tools to competitively position yourself and your business. You also need to focus on daily operations. How do you gain the critical insight you will need as a general manager without taking too much time away from work? The University of Chicago Booth School of Business offers a powerful solution: the Accelerated Development Program (ADP).

ADP presents highlights of our best programs in a modular format that minimizes disruptions to daily life and career— and maximizes opportunities to gain a competitive advantage for your company, and for yourself.

The format is convenient. The content is compelling: You will learn general management essentials taught by world-renowned faculty from one of the most prestigious and highly acclaimed business schools

Participants also learn from each other. From the first session, you will have the opportunity to apply new concepts to your company’s challenges and then confer with the professors and your peers about the results at later sessions. ADP provides a forum to share business problems and craft solutions; to learn the necessary skills to address whatever issue may arise.

Participants will:
- Develop a comprehensive understanding and gain insight into the critical functional areas within a company
- Learn how to manage across functional areas and lead cross-functional teams
- Strengthen strategic decision-making skills and enhance strategic thinking
- Build and learn to shape organizational culture and structures that create value
- Network and establish long-term relationships with key executives from other organizations

Who Should Attend
This program is designed for executives who are responsible for key organizational activities but need to develop a wider general management perspective outside their traditional area of responsibility and expertise. The Accelerated Development Program is designed to provide maximum exposure to key business concepts and strategies in an intensive format.
