| Kansas State University launches noncredit Executive Education Programs |
In an effort to create a concentrated, unique learning environment for executives that helps build high-performing and effective organizations, Kansas State University will launch a noncredit Executive Education program in fall 2017.
In a unique collaboration between Kansas State University Global Campus and privately-owned Aspen Business Group, K-State's Executive Education programs are designed for a variety of business leaders, with unique programs for high-level executives, middle managers and emerging leaders. Each of the programs consist of 12 day-long sessions that meet quarterly over a three-year period in Manhattan, Kansas.
The first program to launch, The Executive Coach, will begin on Oct. 19 and is targeting high-level executives who wish to take their organizations - and themselves - to the next level through proven and innovative leadership methods.
"This is a rare opportunity to plan for the future, determine how best to get there, and strategize about what's most pressing in each participant's business right now," said Russell Disberger, owner of Aspen Business Group and facilitator of the program. "It's a chance to gain new insights from other executives in other industries and other parts of the country. Participants will come away with prioritized, concrete action steps, new tools and capabilities and a plan for the next 90 days."
Those accepted to the The Executive Coach are hand selected by the Executive Education staff to ensure a good fit with the program and to ensure a diverse group of executives are selected from a variety of disciplines and industries.
Each workshop features a subject-matter expert from private industry or K-State faculty. The program features round-table discussions with an opportunity to network with your group, but also to work with a dedicated coach who provides one-on-one follow-up accountability sessions between workshops. This allows the skills learned to be integrated directly into the business operations of each participant.
"The program is designed to use lectures, business simulations and small-group discussions to foster collaboration with peers from various functions, industries and backgrounds," Disberger said. "As a result, participants will develop relationships that continue long after the program ends."
