The Executive Program (TEP)
Darden's Flagship Senior Management Course
June 6-July 2, 2010
Preparing Visionary Leaders...Elevating Organizations
Deepen Your Expertise
Given the need for senior managers to possess wide-ranging expertise that spans business disciplines,
The Executive Program incites executives to expand their knowledge bases across all functional areas. Additionally, the program’s elective workshop component allows executives to focus on specific areas in which they may lack formal training. The broad range of countries, functions, and industries represented by the diverse mix of program participants also provides exposure to valuable new insights into management.
Refresh Your Perspectives
Successful individuals and organizations alike understand that getting to the next level requires critical investments in resources and time. They also know that refreshing their core managerial talents with the latest academic research and best practices is key to growth. Even those with MBAs or related degrees may find that they are still 
relying on skills and philosophies learned years ago—skills that are no match for a business environment that can shift daily. TEP enables executives to thoroughly examine the management principles that apply directly to today’s dynamic business landscape. The curriculum gains in complexity and momentum as the program moves forward, yet participants are afforded ample time for reflection and application.
Influence Your Organization's Future
As a participant in TEP, you examine business topics from the vantage point of other successful senior executives, coupled with 
your own thoughts on strategy and global leadership. Within each learning exercise—interactive lectures, class discussions, learning-team meetings, individual and small-group presentations, role-playing, and computer simulations—you are a key player in the process and scope of managerial decisions that must be reached.
