Intense Development Experience for Teaching and Learning Executives

Teaching & Learning Executives need to manage academic degree programmes in alignment with institutional strategies, while taking into account a multitude of challenging performance targets. They need to add value by being champions of implementation. They need to master the power of influence, but are often provided with only scarce direct authority to do so. 

Keeping in mind this existing pressure within the academia, EFMD GN has designed The Executive Academy, the only development offer for leaders of teaching & learning activities and targets the premium segment of the business school sector. The unique, pioneer and accentual theme of the program is therefore “From Leading Without Authority to Leading With Impact.

The Executive Academy journey will commence in May with its Europe Stream, which will be followed by the Americas Stream in June. The tour around the globe will conclude with the Asia Stream in October. Participants may register for only one stream.  

We will admit a maximum of 20 participants to each stream. A rigorous and challenging admission process will ensure that peer-to-peer interaction in the Executive Academy will be meaningful and ability enhancing for all participants. The deadline to submit completed application form for the European stream (Prague) is March 30th  and 30th April for US stream (Miami). 

The core of the Executive Academy is a face-to-face week in the selected region, preceded by a preparatory phase, which includes self-study and a comprehensive 360° feedback exercise. The face-to-face week will be followed by a project phase at the participants’ home institutions with support and feedback provided by the global faculty facilitators. 

The Executive Academy has been designed to make participants more effective in their executive roles, and participants will: 

• Advance through a self-discovery process to better understand their strengths and limitations, which will contribute to the bridging of self-knowledge and self-leadership. 

• Learn how to drive a strategy-driven programme design and review process, how to manage different performance layers and how to interlink stakeholder expectations and satisfaction.

• Understand and implement disruptive strategies in business education and map performance metrics to actions and milestones.
