EDP: Lead Across Business Functions

The Kellogg Executive Development Program (EDP) is a general management course that prepares middle-management executives to become more effective leaders and change agents in their organizations. Our program shows you how to compete and succeed using strategic thinking to establish appropriate goals for your unit, and leadership skills to manage at the interface of key functions to get results.

Rigorous learning, accessible faculty, an incomparable culture of teamwork and collaboration, and outstanding networking opportunities are all hallmarks of the Kellogg management leadership training experience.

Here at the Kellogg School, we focus on results and offer you theory-driven knowledge and concrete strategies for achieving the best outcomes. We designed our program to meet the needs of a wide range of industries, and we measure our success in your ability to put new ideas into action when you return to your organization.
