Think Bigger: Start Choosing Innovative Solutions - Columbia Business School
2024-12-09 | Columbia Business School, 645 West 130th Street New York, New York, NY, 10027, United States
Innovation fuels business growth. It is the driving force that propels development and success. Companies that embrace innovation generate market-leading revenue growth. The most innovative companies have consistently outperformed the broader market in generating shareholder returns by an average of 3.3 percentage points per year. Without new ideas, companies fail.
While there has been an explosion of resources in the last few decades — methods, tools, techniques, specialists, and more — to help leaders make their companies better innovators, company failures are happening more often. Eighty-eight percent of the Fortune 500 companies from five decades ago have ceased to exist. Yet, in survey after survey, CEOs, senior executives, and investors consistently report their deep dissatisfaction with the ability of their companies to innovate. How can this be?
Most approaches to innovation don’t leverage how innovation happens in the real world, nor how our brains work when creating great ideas. Worse, those approaches can interfere with our natural abilities to innovate rather than amplify them. Participants in this highly immersive program will discover how to “Think Bigger” by sharpening their innovation skills, learning how to get more out of innovation, and developing innovative solutions to a current real-world business problem they are facing.

Improving efficiency and productivity to increase revenue for ecommerce players – through machine learning algorithms and predictive analytics models
Autonomous driving – made possible by rapid advances in image recognition using visual machine learning
Customer experience in sectors such as healthcare, finance, retail and travel – through the use of AI-powered chatbots and intelligent voice assistants

Value Investing - Columbia Business School

Based on the Ben Graham or Warren Buffett approach to allocating capital, this exclusive value investing program will teach the frameworks and processes of investing that some of the most successful investors in the world employ to manage and preserve capital.
What is Value Investing?
Value investing focuses on the economic analysis and the valuation of the business operations of the firm with the aim of obtaining an estimate of its fundamental value. It calls to invest in the firm if the fundamental value is sufficiently above the market value so that there is a margin of safety to protect the investor against unforeseen contingencies. The approach is integrated, with the economic analysis of the business operations of the firm, and the valuation of those business operations inform and support each other. In this way, the value investor obtains a coherent view of the firm.
With unmatched access to Wall Street, renowned finance and accounting divisions, and the Heilbrunn Center for Graham and Dodd Investing resources, Columbia Business School is the only school to offer this unparalleled program in value investing.
Please contact our Learning Solutions Specialists at +1 212-854-3395 for a personal conversation to learn more.

Advanced Value Investing - Columbia Business School
2024-12-16 00:00 - 2024-12-18 00:00 | Columbia Business School, 645 West 130th Street New York, New York, NY, 10027, United States
Building on our popular Value Investing program, the Advanced Value Investing program provides a deeper dive into the world of value investing. It explores how the practice has evolved since its inception and provides cutting-edge insights and best practices for the future of investing in a world of disruption and ever-changing trends in the market.
The practice of value investing is flexible and tactical. It uses techniques that are specific to the problem at hand and extends to investments beyond public equities. Advanced value investing emphasizes investing in compounders— companies that can reinvest capital at returns of invested capital well above the costs of capital, have large total addressable markets so that they can grow with the market and “compound” for long periods of time, and are careful in the evaluation of the risks of the business operations of the firm.
This Advanced Value Investing program delves deeply into the logic compounders, both conceptually and in practice, followed by an analysis of the disruption and changing trends in the market. Two case studies help exemplify and deepen the understanding of disruption risks, equipping the participants to understand value investing trends beyond standard diversification arguments.
Finally, the program explores slow-moving consumer trends by examining industries like healthcare, education, and leisure, leaving the participants better equipped to position their investment portfolio.

2024-12-18 00:00 | Columbia Business School, 645 West 130th Street New York, New York, NY, 10027, United States
Capabilities with people – whether reading a client’s concern or settling an internal conflict – influence results and determine success.
Over three days, Negotiation Strategies teaches you how to get the most out of negotiations by creating a winning proposition for both sides. You also explore methods for successful conflict resolution and understand the impact of cultural differences in the negotiation process.
“Most people are surprised at how much they need these skills on a day-to-day basis. People expect they will develop skills in negotiation with vendors or over salaries. What they begin to realize is that when you’re in a meeting it’s a negotiation, a marriage is a negotiation, and raising children is an extremely challenging negotiation.”

Applications open on 27 January 2025.

London Business School (LBS) is excited to announce that it will now offer its prestigious, international Executive MBA (EMBA) in person or through blended learning, from London or Dubai.
Both options reduce the number of days executives need to spend out of the office and provide an opportunity to complete the programme in 17 months.
The in-person format starts in September, with 80% in-person classes and 20% self-paced learning.
The blended format starts in January, with 40% in-person classes, 40% live online sessions, and 20% self-paced learning.
Graham Hastie, Associate Dean, Degree Education, LBS says:
“Business executives lead demanding and busy lives. Time committed out of the office, or away from family and friends, is a major investment for these executives. Offering our world-class Executive MBA in two different locations and two different formats, means our executive students can choose not just where they study, but how they study – in the way that best meets their needs and helps them to balance work and life.”
Overseen by LBS’s world-renowned faculty, the new EMBA combines innovative learning with intuitive design:

Contemporary curriculum focussed on current business challenges
Integrative learning to address complex issues from multiple perspectives
Customised study through a wide range of electives taken with other LBS students, allowing executives to tailor the programme to their needs – to broaden their knowledge or deep dive into an area of interest, whilst also building networks beyond the EMBA class
Personalised leadership development journey with tailored executive coaching, practical skills training, career activity and networking.

Ben Hardy, Academic Director, Leadership Programmes and Clinical Professor of Organisational Behaviour, LBS, says:
“Our EMBA helps executive students approach business problems from diverse viewpoints and apply core concepts in real world situations.
“This exciting curriculum will explore the way different parts of a business work together, teaching executives to identify and tackle the trade-offs and obstacles they will encounter. This will help them develop their skills to build resilient, sustainable organisations, and to adapt to an evolving business landscape, emerging as confident and authentic leaders.”
All students will complete their Executive MBA by 22 months but have the option to complete as early as 17 months, dependent on electives chosen.
