ONE DAY MBA: THE CRITICAL STUFF THEY DON'T TEACH IN BUSINESS SCHOOL

In this engaging program led by Loyola Marymount University's Business Professor of the Year, you will delve more deeply than a traditional MBA curriculum. Lew's presentation will highlight essential leadership tools that are often overlooked but vital for career success. You will discover the interconnected ecosystem of business and learn how to influence it by leveraging these tools.

Key topics include a seven-step problem-solving framework designed for mid and senior-level management, a segment on design thinking to foster innovative solutions, and four critical questions for practical goal setting that enhance both efficiency and accountability. These concepts will be illustrated through real-world case studies and examples, ensuring a practical understanding of their application.
