Challenge the ‘business as usual’ mentality. Learn to influence and inspire your colleagues. Integrate knowledge and think creatively.
Preparing Leaders
We believe that your MBA experience should be a journey of self-discovery, both inside and outside of the classroom. The Friday Forum allow you to explore your talents and passions in creative and unconventional ways and lay at the heart of our holistic approach to management.
The technical ability to model outcomes won’t give you a sustainable edge over your competitors. We know that cost-cutting is not necessarily the quickest path to efficiency. New paradigms and solutions to business challenges become apparent when you bring the right and left sides of the brain together. The forums are designed to stimulate the logical processing focused on during your academic work through training that activates the intuitive processing of the right side of the brain.
Friday Forum Curriculum
Over eighteen memorable and unique events, you’ll learn and strengthen the interpersonal and leadership skills which lead to successful management of teams and organizations.

We focus on the following core competencies of today’s top managers:
• Boosting Creativity

• Managing your (true) self
