Testimonials

"I was weary of the cost, but even after the first day of class I knew the value and ROI. I love the Kellogg Exec Education approach and hope to take another session in the future."

"I have done a number of the Kellogg programs and I found this to be the best of those that I have done. This is due to the excellent presentation of the materials and the clear focus on the practical application of strategic thinking. It was very enjoyable."

"I actually preferred the virtual format as it is far more efficient. Travelling to Evanston from Trinidad is not enjoyable or productive, and this format has made it very possible to work around the course. In future, I hope there will be more virtual programs; as I think they would be a great option for our employees."

"I realize this was your first virtual synchronous learning class, but it was extremely well planned and executed. I felt the class participation was the highest that I have ever experienced. The ability to chat, raise hand, and verbally discuss questions offered the right mix for communication within the class. I would definitely be interested in future virtual classes, as I think they offer a tremendous learning opportunity in a remote setting. Thanks for offering this course with this technology. If it would have been traditional, it would have been difficult for me to attend."

"There are many moments throughout the program, in which you are really forced to think about how your supply chain is designed versus how it should be."
