• What's Different about our Series: Following a cohort MBA model, a team of up to seven students will train, lunch, create and present together. In the morning, students will build plans specific to their job requirements. After lunch, students create and present a slideshow summarizing their morning plans. Each session ends with students presenting and practicing the public speaking skills in front of the team and special guests.
  
  
• Who should attend?: Managers and supervisors should attend -- new to planning or refresher for those too hectic to complete for 2010. Also, these sessions appeal to those in key areas such as Marketing, Strategic Planning, Operations, Service, Development or Administration -- and any other department employee with P&L and planning accountability. These are 'must have' skills for every employee interersted in career advancement.
