 | | The Advanced Management Program: The Most Flexible Format in Advanced Management |
 The Chicago Booth Advanced Management Program provides executives with a unique combination of benefits that no other senior executive program can offer.Composed of six nonconsecutive one-week courses over a year, the Advanced Management Program format is the result of interviews with more than 300 senior executives, who all cited the critical need for flexibility and an individualized curriculum. We created a program that features a total of six weeks, with half of the content completely customizable. Three nonconsecutive core weeks are cohosted sessions with a group of high-level executives in which you will explore critical issues related to enterprise leadership and general management. Three weeks are in elective sessions of your choosing with executives from a broad range of functions and industries. These electives allow you to individualize the curriculum to best complement your career goals, development needs, and business interests.

| | Introductory Core Session: The Executive |
Are you living up to your own aspirations? Through the Advanced Management Program you will receive a thorough grounding in how the social network around you creates a competitive advantage. You’ve observed multiple people enter a business. They are comparably smart, trained, and motivated. Almost immediately some begin to perform better than others and the gaps between people widen. Careers move into different tracks. But a dramatically important factor is often overlooked because people do not know how to get a handle on it: The network of connections around a business leader. You’ll learn how the pattern of connections with subordinates, peers, colleagues, competitors, and other critical contacts in the market explains the variance in performance differences among senior executives.
A critical connection is to oneself: The more self-awareness you have, the more agility you can bring to the performance of your role. Securing your foundation, this session involves familiarizing you with basic principles, reflecting on the interplay between your social capital and your own personal agility. |
Sessions include:- Competitive Advantage of Social Capital
- Learning from Experience
- Leadership Agility
| | Mid-Course Core Session: The Organization |
Here is a simple question for you: Are the people around you better off because you are there? How do you inspire, motivate, and deliver results from the organization around you? Building on the first core week which focused on your role as an effective leader, this week looks at how your role is integrated into your organization: how you can influence and drive change, develop a results-driven culture, and create value by identifying new opportunities and mobilizing resources around them.
You will become adept at identifying key stakeholders and potential strategic partners as well as improve your ability to engage them. As personal agility was essential in the first core session to a business leader’s competitive advantage, maintaining capacity for organizational agility is essential to this session’s discussion of leveraging competitive advantage across an organization. |
Sessions include:- Reading the Organization
- Systems and Strategy
- Leading Organization Change
| | Final Core Session: The Community |
Business is exposed more than ever before to the external environment. Advances in communication and transportation have made us neighbors to the point where your success can be affected by events on the other side of the world as well as down the street. At the same time that we live in a global market, competitive advantage is still personal and local. The immediate environment remains critical, but risk and opportunity can now come from far away. This week will cause you to think strategically about your organization as being part of a broader system. Discussion ranges over the local community and across the continents.
This third core session of your Advanced Management Program journey is about juggling your roles as a leader for your interests, your company’s interests, and the interests in your profession and community more generally. You will also have an opportunity to think deeply about your future plans and your legacy as a leader. |
Sessions include:- Leadership and the Broader Community
- Managing Organizational Reputation
- Emerging Economies and Investment

I started to get involved in a lot of international business, and I needed formal, deeper preparation. I was interested in more than technical or finance skills—more ways to structure strategy and social behavior.
On the first day the professor said, ‘We are not going to teach you what to think, but how to think.’ I didn't believe it, but it was true. I found that the balance between the case analysis and walking through structural, academic facts was important. Making decisions that way has been really helpful for me and my environment, which includes more than just my organization. It includes my community as well.
One of the best things I got out of the program was a structured approach to social capital. We are citizens of big corporations, big cities and big countries. I'm engaged not just with people in my company in the U.S. but in places like China, Brazil, Colombia, and South Africa. Logging into those networks and structuring the kind of relationships I'm going to have, rather than letting them flow to what’s most convenient, is key for my success and the future of my business.
