Many organizations are experiencing significant digital and business transformations and Columbia Business Executive Education will be a dynamic and inspiring partner as you also transform and evolve your people.
We’ll help you design the best course of action for you and your team.
Design and Development
Every custom program Columbia Business Executive Education develops is unique. We engage with key stakeholders during the design phase and together, with you, determine the optimum mix of content and delivery formats (i.e. in-person, live online, or asynchronous) to build a carefully crafted and powerful learning experience for your executives.
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.
Reach out to us to discuss your current and future initiatives and the transformative results you would like to see your executives achieve. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you as you take your people and your organization to new heights.

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.”
