2 QUEEN’S EXECUTIVE MBA

It is the only executive MBA in Canada that can be personalized around yourindividual strengths and aspirations. This highly innovative program will empower you to think differently about business and yourself. It will increaseyour value to your organization and open the door to new career opportunities.

Queen’s Executive MBA is truly different from the rest

CANADA’S MOST RESPECTED EXECUTIVE MBA

PERSONALIZED FOR YOU

At Queen’s, we recognize that everyone comes into the program with different talents and skills, a variety

of experiences, and their own aspirations. It stands to reason that a “one size fits all” approach is simply

impractical. With that in mind, Queen’s has developed a powerful new approach to learning that

incorporates a level of personalization and customization that cannot be found in other executive MBA

programs. You will leave the program with a clear understanding of your strengths, well-thought-out career

goals, and the tools to achieve them.

3QUEEN’S EXECUTIVE MBA

PERSONALIZATIONThe concept of personalization is evident across all aspects of the

Queen’s Executive MBA program. Personal Development Coaching begins

with a sophisticated individual strengths assessment and continues

throughout the program.

The program’s major projects provide unique experiences and opportunities

to create real value for your organization. During the final module of the

program, you will have the opportunity to pursue one of three strategic

electives based on your career aspirations. You will also have the option

of attending a one-week International Study Trip at one of our international

business school partners.

Queen’s also offers you the opportunity to take part in Fit to Lead, a program

that recognizes and promotes the importance of physical, mental and

emotional well-being.

If you are looking for a career change, Queen’s offers one of the most

comprehensive suites of career management services available anywhere.

During the program, you will enjoy the benefits of a personal support

team that includes a Personal Development Coach, a Career Coach, a

Team Facilitator, a Project Advisor and a Personal Fitness Consultant.

world projects to ensure an integrated approach to learning.

7 WAYS TO PERSONALIZEYOUR EXECUTIVE MBA

“Queen’s Executive MBA allows for a level of personalization that simply cannot be found in other

executive MBA programs. This approach enables you to more effectively capitalize on your strengths,

focus on your goals and accelerate your career to a new level.” DR. BILL BLAKEAssociate Dean, MBA Programs

Queen’s School of Business

The Queen’s approach to personal development begins with a sophisticated Personal Assessment

tool that enables you to identify your individual strengths and weaknesses. You will then work

one-on-one with an experienced Personal Development Coach to better understand, maximize,

and capitalize on your strengths. Our approach is based on the belief that peak performance can

best be achieved by focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses.

“The personal assessment was eye-opening for me. I thought I had a handleon my personal strengths, but this gave me a whole new perspective.”

SARAH MILTON, Queen’s MBA

Boston Consulting Group

During the final module of the program, you are given the opportunity to

choose one of three strategic electives, with the goal of deepening your

understanding of the area that most closely aligns with your career aspirations.

The three strategic electives are:

• Financial Strategy

• Project Management

1 PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT COACHING

2 STRATEGIC ELECTIVES

Queen’s Executive MBA includes two major projects, both of which provide additional

opportunities to customize your MBA experience. The first major project is an individual

creation of a business case and comprehensive business plan for a new stand-alone business,

or a new line of business within an existing organization, or a Management Consulting

Project, which involves analyzing a business challenge or opportunity and developing

a comprehensive set of recommendations and implementation plans to address it.

The second major project is the Global Business Project. This is a team project that

provides you and your team the opportunity to travel to an international destination

of your choosing to complete an analysis and plan for a real-world international

business opportunity. See page 10 for more details.

blend of class instruction, case studies, simulations and real-world projects to create

the optimal learning approach.

of courses and experiences that provide a solid grounding in management fundamentals

and a thorough understanding of how management decisions can have an impact

across an organization.

LEADERSHIPQueen’s Executive MBA is designed to go well beyond the teaching of leadership skills.

Throughout the program, you will gain valuable insights into your personal leadership

style and ways to improve your effectiveness as a leader. Team-based projects provide

exceptional opportunities to put this learning into action.

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVEThe global perspective of the program is second to none. The core curriculum,

Global Business Project, and optional International Study Trip, provide exceptional and

unique opportunities to strengthen your ability to manage effectively in a global economy.

PROGRAM STRUCTUREAND CONTENT

INNOVATIVE CURRICULUM

THE POWER OF TEAMSWhile most executive MBA programs tout the importance of teamwork, Queen’s

Executive MBA is one of a select few that assigns participants to teams for

the duration of the program.

Queen’s team-based learning approach creates a supportive and collaborative

environment that mirrors today’s workplace. Team members work together on

assignments and projects, greatly enhancing the learning experience. This

approach provides valuable opportunities for each participant to develop and

hone critical team and leadership skills while in the program. Furthermore, it

provides the opportunity to learn not only from your professors, but also from

your teammates and classmates.

Queen’s provides dedicated Team Facilitators who work with the teams, leading

them through team-building and teamwork-enhancing exercises. They maintain

close contact throughout the program to ensure that teams continue to operate

efficiently and effectively.

Participants in the program are required to complete two major projects:

the team-based Global Business Project, and one of two individual projects –

either the New Venture Project or the Management Consulting Project.

GLOBAL BUSINESS PROJECTThe Global Business Project is a team project that provides real-world

international business experience. Your team will complete a comprehensive

analysis of a real global business issue or opportunity anywhere in the

world outside of the U.S. and Canada. To complete this “live case”, your

team will travel to the international location to interview business managers

and conduct field research prior to writing your final report. This provides

an outstanding opportunity to put all that you have learned into practice.

The program covers travel and accommodation costs for the Global Business

Project up to $4,000 per person.

MAJOR PROJECTS

MANAGEMENT CONSULTING PROJECTThe objective of this individual project is to analyze a business challenge and develop a

comprehensive set of recommendations and implementation plans to address it. Participants

are given a wide scope in the nature of the project. Typically projects focus on performance

improvements in operating processes, supply chain management, customer service, information

systems, profit margin improvement, or the business planning process. Each participant

will be assigned a Project Advisor.

OR

NEW VENTURE PROJECTThe objective of this individual project is to create a business case and comprehensive business

plan for a new stand-alone business, or a new line of business in an existing organization.

The New Venture Project will give you an opportunity to use the management concepts and tools you

have acquired in the program to create a business plan for a new venture. You will identify market

opportunities, investigate business potential, consider financing options, and create a business plan.

Each participant will be assigned a Project Advisor.

When Kevin enrolled in the Queen’s Executive MBA program, he was Vice President, International

Operations at CARE, one of the largest relief and development agencies in Canada. While in the

program, he and his team were able to address real-life work issues through course projects and

class discussions. In fact, he and his teammates did the groundwork to create the Humanitarian Coalition – a

collaboration among four of Canada’s leading NGOs to raise funds collectively during emergencies, rather than in

competition. Kevin was recently promoted to CEO, and he believes that the broad range of skills provided by the

Queen’s program played a key role in his promotion.

“The ability to use real-world business issues as a basis for class projects was a real plus

that enabled me to make meaningful contributions to my organization while in the program.

across a broad range of disciplines and I think that is ultimately what led to my promotion.”

three business units and forecast services revenue, manage the

P&L and work with her teams to create new IP and service offerings
