Faculty

The Stanford Executive Program stands apart from other leadership programs — here research and experience lead the way.

Engage and interact with more than 40 world-renowned faculty members through our collaborative approach to learning. From sharing their cutting-edge research to asking insightful questions to produce the most beneficial discussions, our tenured faculty facilitate change, inspire innovation, and instill excellence.

For example, Faculty Director William Barnett is currently examining how organizations worldwide are responding to the challenge of environmental sustainability. He is investigating a number of areas where organizational adaptation is key, including: the proliferation of climate tech start ups, issues around environmental justice, the challenge of climate migration, and the urgent need to preserve the world’s rainforests. Barnett’s prior research includes studies of how strategic differences and strategic change among organizations affect their growth, performance, and survival. His research includes empirical studies of technical, regulatory, and ideological changes among organizations, and how these changes affect competitiveness over time and across markets over a wide range of industries and contexts.
