Hear from Past Participants

CEO, South Carolina Heart Center

“I gained specific tools for sharpening my organization’s strategic focus. Robert Burgelman’s presentations alone and their impact on my thought processes were worth the price of the program. The quality of the program in all areas ― faculty, lectures, accommodations, food, staff, etc. ― far exceeded my expectations. I will definitely consider these 14 days one of the best investments I have ever made!”

Senior Vice President of Global Consumer Research and Insights, Pearson

“Not only did I learn really, really valuable content, I also made some amazing connections with people who are wickedly smart but also incredibly passionate as well as humble … So if anyone wants a taste of Stanford, this is an excellent opportunity.”

Executive Director and Owner, Think Creative Biznets

“This program was one of the best experiences I’ve had. The class sessions were great, the professors were very knowledgeable and talented, and the class was full of brilliant people — many successful serial entrepreneurs. Currently, I’m doing business with two different classmates, and I have projects for the near future with at least another.”

President and COO, Alexza Molecular Delivery

“This program provides insight into management of people through culture rather than through control mechanisms. For two weeks, we studied a superb array of cases of how other companies succeeded or failed and why. The Stanford faculty is not only on the cutting edge of new learnings but also has the teaching skill to impart that learning to me and my colleagues.”
