Accelerating the development of Directors and Managers of executive education teams in UK business schools
The Executive Education Leadership Programme (EELP) 2025 is designed for new, and aspiring, Directors of Executive Education or those with similar commercial responsibilities for short programme provision at UK business schools.
Over 6 months, participants will develop the knowledge, skills and networks necessary to develop their institution's strategy for short course provision and lead successful executive education teams.
The programme takes place over four modules and includes visits to two Chartered ABS member schools, to provide 'live case studies' of how executive education is delivered in a higher education setting. All sessions will consist of interactive presentations from experienced executive education professionals, lively discussions and engaging group activities. Throughout the programme, participants are encouraged to share their challenges and support colleagues, and at the close of the first day of each module, there will be a dinner enabling informal networking and cohort building. The final learning activity of the programme is a simulation of a client Invitation to Tender (ITT) during which participants will compete to win the work.
