Learning Approach
As you would expect, we have a very broad range of learning approaches and tools to draw from and are accomplished at integrating group work, executive coaching, action learning projects, panel discussions, networking elements, and more into our programs. With our deeply embedded New York City roots, the pace, energy, and diversity of both Columbia University and New York’s eco-systems are infused into our custom program experiences.
For programs with in-person modules, executives are often inspired by our impressive Manhattanville campus where there are dedicated executive education facilities. We’ve also developed custom programs for organizations all around the globe based on what’s the right location for the program and the organization.

Testimonials
“I’ve managed many employees who have gone through the programs and the changes I’ve seen in how they perform as leaders once they emerge from a program is profound. There’s a marked difference in how they approach leadership, how they approach their management, and their style of leadership. You can clearly see it—the impact is observable.”
Kimberly Hardy Watson
Chief Operating Officer at Graham Windham“The change in format from in-person to fully virtual this year was seamless. The Columbia Business School faculty were creative and innovative. Although the learning platform was completely different than prior years, there was no change in participant engagement. In fact, all of our attending physicians were impressed and are excited to continue with the upcoming modules, whether virtual or in-person. We look forward to continuing to work with Columbia Business School.”
