| Wharton Fellows Goes beyond traditional executive development. It is a lifelong-learning network designed by and for senior leaders, focusing on transformation leadership and offering relevancy, networking and exclusivity. There are currently more than 200 senior executives (CEOs, C-levels and other top executives who are leading major transformations) from around the world in the network. It has a modular structure of short, focused 2½-day "master classes" in critical locations around the world. This structure offers top executives choice and customization. Master classes allow executives to get inside of top global organizations and engage in high-level discussions with senior leaders and our faculty experts. In between these master classes is a rich peer network for ongoing decision support and dialogue. The program redefines executive education by offering deep, results-oriented just-in-time knowledge on critical emerging issues. Typically, between 30 and 50 top executives attend a master class. | ||
