• Superior value
• Optimal core business processes
• Motivated and empowered staff
• Carefully managed relationships for long-term success
This five-day program helps WBEs achieve these objectives. It is an intensive learning experience that focuses primarily on increasing the competitive advantage and robustness of the participant's own business. The 50 WBE attendees will form a learning community that will continue to provide a source of support, expertise, opportunities, and strategic alliances long after graduation.
Tuck is the nation's oldest graduate school of business and renowned for the quality of its teaching and the degree to which it fosters collaborative learning, inclusion, and community. It is designed to make a big difference in how owners think about and operate their businesses when they return from the program. The primary case study is the participant's own business. Collaborative learning groups apply the tools they have learned to assess and improve their businesses, using the same diagnostic and strategy-implementation approaches that external consultants would use.
