Below is an example of a custom executive education solution: GoogleGoogle approached Wharton Executive Education to create a custom educational program for its high-potential talents. In other industries, companies seek ways to include innovation in their business processes. At Google, innovation is the norm: leadership and foundational business principles are the higher-level skills that the company’s rising talent most often seeks to acquire. Wharton created a custom engagement made of two five-day residential modules led by Wharton faculty experts in marketing and finance. The participants were bright, highly motivated technical talents who excel at agile, creative decision making. The modules were designed to give these participants the academic foundations in leadership and governance that would allow Google to continue to rewrite the rules in American business.
