Senior Execs Sharpen Competitive Edge at Intensive Broad EDP Seminar

Creating and leading teams, cross functional management and examining business models...This and more was on the assignment list for the inaugural class of the Broad Executive Seminar that met Sept. 8-14 at the James B. Henry Center for Executive Development. "The seminar is a real capstone experience for senior executives, beyond the undergrad and MBA," says Stuart Jeffares, participant in the September 2002 class. "For me, it delivered insight into advancing theories, innovative tools for critical analysis of strategic models, and a network of motivated 'alumni' looking to make a impact."
