| A Federal Agency |
| "We are working with the Chicago Booth School to develop and deliver a five-week program for high potential senior managers. This relationship is truly a partnership. We are both committed to ensuring that our organization has the best program possible by bringing together the expertise of the Chicago faculty with the subject matter experts and senior executives from our organization. Unlike other academic organizations with which we have worked, the Chicago faculty understands that what they have to offer will only work if they understand the culture and context of our organization and customize the material to meet our specific needs and audience. In essence, they have to become “one of us” in order to have full credibility within our organization. They are working very hard to achieve that objective.” |

| Argonne National Laboratory |
| "We are in the fourth year of an on-going relationship with the Executive Education Program at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business. It has been a delightful partnership. The faculty has been available and responsive, both in building and adjusting the curriculum as we all learned more about best methods and content needs for our employee leadership group. Each core member of the faculty took time at the beginning to come out to the Lab, meet with some of our employees and talk with our internal employee development group. We have also found the staff that works on the logistics side of the house adjusting to the suggestions of our employees – from slightly earlier delivery dates of pre-reading materials (our employees travel quite heavily) to adjusting the distribution and collection of evaluations. We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with the Executive Education Program at the UChicago Booth in developing our next generation of leaders." |

| Strategic Competency Creation: Whirlpool Corporation |
"The University of Chicago faculty and the Whirlpool Leadership group started with a clean slate to design a leadership experience for the top 500 global leaders of Whirlpool Corporation. The Chairman’s expectation for this program set the bar very high: an intervention that helps leaders think outside the box, maximizing their leadership potential, to have a personal and significant impact on our company’s transformation."

| Business Advisor Program: RSM McGladrey |
| In the late 1990s, leaders at RSM McGladrey decided it was time to refocus their traditional CPA and consulting firm. Bill Travis was among the founding group that assessed the company's future and developed the concept of becoming known as the "go to" firm for middle market businesses. To achieve its vision, the firm turned to Chicago Booth for custom executive education. The result is the Business Advisor Program, a four-level program that equips managing directors with strategic knowledge and techniques to critically examine clients' corporate strategies and help them achieve long-term profitable growth. |
