The mini-MBA programs are intended for any level of leader hoping to enhance their existing skills. The first program – a 10-week schedule beginning in January 2025 – focuses on leading change and innovation, while also covering necessary topics such as finance, strategic thinking and artificial intelligence. As 2025 quickly approaches, more mini-MBA programs covering different topics will arise, as well as an online option that will focus on the same subjects of change and innovation. The mini-MBA programs are a work in progress, with the first round of registration currently open for participants. However, the custom solutions program has already completed two custom-built leadership plans: one designed for Chesapeake Energy and the other designed for OU Health. “Today’s leaders are facing problems in which there are no clear solutions yet and we are designing learning experiences with complexity in mind,” said Nicholas Tobey, executive director of Price Executive Academy. Both programs within the Price Executive Academy allow participants to learn new skillsets at a quick pace so they can implement those tools into their organizations immediately. At the end of the program, participants will receive a certificate of completion from the OU Price College of Business and will be recognized as an alum of the college. Participants will also earn a Continuing Education Unit (CEU) in the program and receive a badge from Credly. If you are interested in enrolling in the mini-MBA program, all Chamber members receive 15% off tuition. Please contact Brittny Hatfield at bsena@ou.edu.
The University of Oklahoma Michael F. Price College of Business recently announced its launch of the Price Executive Academy, a program that will provide emerging leaders and established professionals with the tools to navigate the complexities of the business realm. “The rapidly changing nature of work demands professionals to constantly reskill and upskill. This shift makes leadership development both challenging and crucial for organizations,” said Corey Phelps, dean of the Price College of Business at OU. “We created the Price Executive Academy to be the home of lifelong learning for working professionals and customized leadership development programs for organizations in Oklahoma and beyond.” Price Executive Academy offers two different programs: a mini-MBA open enrollment program and a custom solutions program designed for organizations. The custom solutions program is directed at larger organizations that desire growth in employees ranging in expertise, such as new leaders, managers, supervisors and upper-level management. For this program, custom solutions can include assistance in developing innovative mindsets, emotional intelligence, leading change and many other organization-specific challenges.
