Building a Cross-Enterprise Leadership School

You cannot teach leadership without practicing leadership

Cross-Enterprise Leadership is more than an intriguing academic concept. It’s a new way of organizing and delivering management education that will revolutionize every aspect of Ivey’s operation.  We are literally reinventing this 83-year-old icon of business education and restructuring our School to address the new organization-wide demands that confront conventional thinking.

  • Our flagship MBA program will be transformed into an intense one-year learning experience focused on the capabilities required for Cross-Enterprise Leadership. The program will move to Spencer Conference Centre, Ivey’s premier learning facility located just minutes from the School’s main campus in London, Ontario, Canada.
  • Our undergraduate HBA program, already one of the best in the world, will adopt the Cross-Enterprise Leadership focus, and broaden its reach to admit students from across Canada and around the world.
  • Ivey’s Executive programs and Executive MBA, historically based around solving cross-functional issues, will be further strengthened with Cross-Enterprise Leadership.
  • Research and case writing activities will be focused around four key Cross-Enterprise Leadership Centres: Building Sustainable Value; Engaging Emerging Markets; Driving Growth Through Entrepreneurship and Innovation; Leading Cross Enterprise. Faculty members will work in new configurations to realize the full potential of Cross-Enterprise Leadership.
