The EFMD Executive Academy (EA) is a state-of-the-art leadership development programme by EFMD, tailored specifically for academic leaders and managers in business schools. It offers an opportunity to improve personal and institutional leadership capabilities for today’s higher education.
The programme is structured around three core modules:
Throughout the Executive Academy, participants gain access to various leadership tools, practical frameworks, and peer insights. They refine their leadership purpose, strengthen their ability to influence stakeholders, and align their strategies with institutional missions, all while building the confidence to lead others through change.
The Executive Academy journey is divided into three phases:
Programme Directors, Associate/Assistant Deans of Teaching & Learning, and Senior Program Managers with a complete overview of (though not necessarily direct responsibility for) the entire academic cycle: admissions, programme design & administration, career services, and alumni management.
For each stream intake, the EFMD Executive Academy also seeks to accept managers of corporate universities or executives of corporate talent management departments to cross-fertilise group learning. Corporate participants can improve their understanding of and their ability to interact with business schools.
Upon successful completion of the Executive Academy, participants receive a digital Certificate of Completion issued by EFMD, fully verifiable and shareable online. The certificate recognises their commitment to professional growth and their contribution to advancing leadership excellence in management education.
