The Darden School faculty members are at the forefront of knowledge in their fields. They are critical contributors to Executive Education and can be of equal importance to your individual development and your organization’s success. Beyond their expertise and outstanding classroom teaching, these faculty members are committed to providing the most innovative and action-oriented learning experiences for executives. This is evident in the level of individual allegiance to educating managers at all levels, and to the personal attention given to participants. For the sixth consecutive year (2004-2009), these faculty members have been ranked #1 according to the 2009 survey in the Financial Times.
The majority of Darden’s professors have experience in the private sector, and many consult for leading corporations, influential organizations, and government agencies in the U.S. and abroad. This not only keeps them in touch with trends and issues in the global marketplace, but also helps build relationships with corporate leaders. This exposure also furthers the integration of knowledge and experience that enables participants to develop breakthrough visions—visions that can ultimately help drive the success of their firms. The faculty members are with the program from the first day to the last—on hand before and after class, available during breaks for discussions, present during meals, and participating in all planned activities.
Executives in Darden programs learn and gain value from a team of distinguished academicians, award-winning authors, skilled educators, and entrepreneurs. Through this engagement, participants:
- Are exposed to some of the most innovative ideas in business.
- Are provided with the tools and conceptual frameworks for developing and implementing successful growth strategies.
- Can immediately generate insight and help to transform knowledge into action upon returning to their organizations.
At Darden, participants will find themselves absorbed in situations that require them to adopt new ways of thinking about the challenges they face, and to exercise new strategies and skills to overcome these challenges. The faculty team works cohesively to ensure that every opportunity to convey and share ideas and knowledge is seized.
