including pushing pace and unconventional thinking of our class

THE CHICAGO APPROACH™

In this challenging business environment, organizations need to empower leaders at all levels

to achieve the higher level of agility, innovation, and customer focus required to generate long-

term shareholder value.

These new demands require ingenuity and adaptability—not just keeping up with the trends,

but predicting them, setting them, and knowing when to reject them. Our unique approach at

Chicago Booth develops leaders who can meet these demands and thrive for the entirety of

their careers.

The Chicago Approach™

EMPOWERING LEADERS TO FIND THE BEST SOLUTIONS Our rigorous approach means that rather

than ostensibly solving your company’s

challenges, we teach your executives

concepts and frameworks for continually

generating the best solutions and applying

them effectively in your organization.

Participants will emerge as better thinkers,

able to not just apply tested concepts to

the issues at hand, but also to approach

and solve the unknown challenges ahead.


KEY TAKEAWAY: When it’s all said and done,

your executives learn the value

of constructive questioning

and a willingness to alter

beliefs in the light of new data,

to recognize the importance

of multiple viewpoints, to

take calculated risks, and to

ultimately deliver powerful

performance.

We teach not what to think, but how to think through complex business issues—empowering executives to solve

today’s most intractable business challenges

ONLINE, DISTANCE LEARNING SOLUTIONS

Customized online, distance learning solutions for organizationsAs organizations face new types of uncertainties and challenges, the right learning solutions

become increasingly important. Chicago Booth offers customized distance learning solutions to

help your organization swiftly and confidently steer ahead in uncertain times.

and decision-making skills of executives across the globe—and helped drive growth and

innovation for top private and public sector organizations. With our rigorous approach, we teach

your executives concepts and frameworks for continually generating the best solutions and

LIVE-ONLINE PROGRAMS (SYNCHRONOUS) Our live-online programming is delivered in a synchronous format where participants learn from faculty and peers in an interactive, high-impact virtual environment. Participants receive Booth's rigorous content in short, digestible sessions held over days or weeks. Live-online programming is often blended with offline activities, projects, and readings to deepen understanding of the materials.

ONLINE PROGRAMS (ASYNCHRONOUS)Our asynchronous (recorded) online sessions are designed to scale and reach hundreds, or more, executives and are often leveraged from our popular online open-enrollment programs. This format provides flexibly-timed learning for executives across diverse time zones. Participants often divide Booth’s intense content over multiple weeks, and our programming often provides multiple knowledge checks throughout. The benefit of this format is it allows busy global executives to learn Booth's rigorous content in a convenient schedule, and allows organizations

to scale learning throughout an organization.

HYBRID PROGRAMS (IN-PERSON AND ONLINE)Our hybrid programs blend in-person with online, or live-online, programming for a one-of-a-kind experience. This format allows busy global executives to gather insights and absorb content in a convenient online format, and then come together with their colleagues to learn from renowned Booth faculty in a face-to-face classroom.

• Group projects, simulations, case

studies, and message boards. These

interactive projects facilitate teamwork,

networking, and problem-solving in either

a synchronous or asynchronous format.

existing leadership development process.
