Integrative Thinking™
Rotman’s Integrative Thinking programs provide leaders with new approaches and new tools to creatively address organizational challenges. By embracing complexity, participants learn to perceive and apply better solutions to the complex problems of today’s changing global environment.
Governance
Our governance programs teach directors to effectively apply sound governance practices, improving the resilience and long-term profitability of their organizations. Programming is grounded in the innovative research from Rotman’s Clarkson Centre for Board Effectiveness, which has made Rotman a leader in governance education. Through our partnership with the Institute of Corporate Directors, we collaborate with leading business schools across the country – a network that has produced over 4,000 graduates – to improve governance practices in Canada overall.
Leadership
Good leadership is challenging but essential, and it can be learned. We provide the intellectual framework and practical tools to help you do just that, and, by tapping into the experience of Rotman’s expanding community of executives – conveying those real nuances of effective leadership that can’t be learned from a book – we can help you become a stronger, more resilient and influential leader.
Finance
Rotman’s finance research and teaching have been consistently rated in the Top 10 worldwide by the Financial Times Business School Rankings. Our finance programs are grounded in cutting-edge research generated by Rotman’s Capital Markets Institute, and informed by strong links to the global finance community. Our world-class faculty will help you translate complex theory into practical, understandable terms and strategy, giving you the confidence you need to lead your organization in the global marketplace.
Management
Our programs not only provide you with insight into state-of-the-art management techniques and technologies, they also improve your performance and your ability to leverage the talents of your team.
Health Care
Building a better health-care system for communities across Canada has a measurable impact on our overall success as a country. Rotman’s Centre for Health Sector Strategy has developed world-class expertise in management and leadership issues specific to this sector. Our health-care programs equip professionals with knowledge and business skills to effectively lead and manage their organizations in a complex field that is constantly evolving.
The Initiative for Women in Business
The vision of the Initiative for Women in Business is to be the leading voice on issues facing women in management. Our programs support women in business from the classroom to the boardroom. Through a spectrum of continuing education, special events, presentations by expert speakers and ongoing professional support, we provide invaluable mentorship and networking opportunities to help female executives meet their own measures of success.
