Programs for Organizations

Collaborative and customized to align with organizational goals

The NC State Think and Do approach guides the design and delivery of our executive education programs for organizations across industries. We ensure your investment is sound by aligning professional workplace learning with your organizational strategic goals.

Innovation

Our innovation programs are intended to address leaders who create a market-savvy coalition. The goal is to ensure a systematic approach to managing innovation and address globally shifting priorities presented by organizational leaders. Participants will have a strong sense of how to lead innovation within today’s demanding and continuously changing environment, and to be confident in the change that they create.

Leadership

Our leadership programs are intended to address leaders who are currently responsible for executing strategies and managing shifting priorities presented by organizational leaders. This role requires capabilities of both effective performance management of team projects, as well as leadership skills to drive change and quickly adapt teams to new demands. Participants will have a strong sense of how to lead projects, teams, peers, and themselves.

Data Science

Our data science programs help organizations improve decision-making. In order to truly leverage these tools, an organization must have alignment among the executive leaders, unit managers and data science experts.

Product Management

Our product management programs help clients improve their processes and skills to analyze markets, select technologies, develop products — and the processes used to produce these products — from a strong interdisciplinary perspective.

Risk Management

Our risk management programs enhance participant knowledge of the top-down and strategic nature of enterprise risk management (ERM) to help all see the connection to strategy and governance. They also expose participants to governance and risk management methodology and related tools.

Supply Chain Management

Our supply chain management programs help support the dynamic growth of this field to ensure organizational teams have both the technical and leadership skills needed to meet organizational goals.

“When students go through experiential, hands on exercises, the learning is much more powerful than simply listening to something… we take Think and Do and put it to practice and bring it to life in all our Executive Education programs.” —Dr. Bradley Kirkman, General (Ret.) H. Hugh Shelton Distinguished professor of leadership
