Helping Graduate Business Programs Make Better Decisions

Why This Work?
Graduate program management is complex, but most people who take on program leadership roles aren’t given a roadmap for doing the work.
When I became an Executive MBA program director, I discovered that there was no job description, checklist, training manual, or experienced program manager to show me how to do the job. I had to learn while doing it.
Over time, I developed frameworks and approaches to help me understand and manage the work. I eventually realized that other graduate program leaders faced many of the same challenges.
This site is an effort to share what I’ve learned—and to develop practical resources that can help program leaders make better decisions.
