The Learning Experience

What can you expect when you're attending an Executive Education program at Harvard Business School?

During the day, you'll take part in dynamic lectures, discussions, and exercises led by our distinguished faculty, and in the evening, you'll continue the conversation with your fellow participants in our unique on-campus living groups, over meals, and in other social settings.

Distinctive Approaches

Offering an unprecedented look inside many of the world's top companies, HBS case studies are integral to understanding multifaceted issues and applying those lessons to your own business. To give you an insider's perspective, the case protagonists often visit class to share firsthand insights. To further enrich the educational experience, the program curricula also include simulations, negotiations, interactive lectures, coaching, and a blended learning format that combines both in-person and virtual learning.

Discussion Groups

To enhance your learning, you will be part of a small peer discussion group, which enables you to gain a better understanding of the case materials, test new ideas before class, and broaden your perspectives. It's the perfect opportunity for both teaching and learning.

Discussion Leaders

Once the program begins, you may be assigned to be the leader of your discussion group. In this role, you will facilitate the discussion, help the group remain focused on the questions at hand, and ensure every member shares their unique viewpoints.
