Action Journal

for Mindful Reflection

Reflection is a critical skill for today’s executive. A custom-designed Action Journal incorporated into the program is intended to help participants reflect on their experience throughout the curriculum.

Coaching

for Self-Discovery

To help participants better understand themselves and the tools they are using in this program, coaching sessions can be incorporated throughout the experience.

Business Challenge Projects

for Solving Real-World Problems

To enhance the effectiveness of the program, participants will take part in team-based application projects, based on actual strategic business issues that exist in your organization or your industry.

Virtual Content

to Reinforce Classroom Learning

Leveraging technology to create a virtual learning environment, we extend the program experience beyond the classroom. This element can be implemented as a primer, applied throughout the program or offered upon culmination of the classroom experience to bolster application of content in the workplace setting.

Individual Application Projects

to Empower Your Leaders

Participants select an organizational issue they would like to address individually that they believe will better position them as strategic players within their organization. Application projects provide opportunities to apply classroom learnings from the program in a work context.

Peer Mentoring Groups

to Provide Support

Peer Mentoring Groups are structured to help participants build deeper, more meaningful relationships with one another over the course of the program and beyond. Executives are equipped to construct active learning communities once they leave the classroom.

Assessment Tools

to Tap Potential

We incorporate various assessment tools into our programs, emphasizing the value of understanding individual strengths and areas of development and, most important, how to apply these discoveries to an organizational context.

Simulation

to Learn from Experience

Bringing coursework to life in a dynamic, relevant way through simulation or “gameification” is an integral aspect of the UCLA Anderson Executive Education experience. It empowers participants to analyze and solve complex problems in an active learning environment. Careful deployment at different points in the learning journey allows us to measure progress on multiple dimensions.

Live Action

for Purposeful Play

In order to stimulate creativity, generate excitement and increase learner retention, participants are exposed to a variety of performance tools, such as improvisation comedy, theatrical elements, sports, workshops or other action-based activities. Instructor and peer-to-peer feedback provide real-time evaluation of progress.
