What happens when the world’s creative leaders come together with Yale’s most influential business experts?
After five successful years at Harvard Business School, “Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders” moved to the Yale School of Management to draw on the strength of the Yale faculty. Case studies, lectures, guest speakers and study groups will give attendees a more complete understanding of business and design through the eyes of business executives.
Advance your business knowledge
Explore timely topics to understand significant transformations and technological advances in the business world, apply financial tools and strategic analysis, and capitalize on new client opportunities. Learn more about the curriculum or contact us with your questions.
See the big picture
Take away a more complete understanding of top management perspectives and be a more productive partner in communication, branding and product development strategies.
Make powerful connections
“Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders” is designed exclusively for design executives who work with designers or clients to develop strategic responses to client challenges—in the form of a comprehensive communication or positioning strategy, or the design of a range of products or services. This select group of senior-level creative leaders will come together to discuss, network, debate and grow with each other.
Who should participate?
Participants are likely to view the design process as an integral part of solving complex problems, whether that experience involves communication, functional or strategic design:
- Principals or senior creative leaders in mid- to large-size studios or in-house design departments whose counsel to clients (external or internal) goes beyond the creation of artifacts
- Senior managers in advertising, public relations or other firms who retain, hire or work closely with designers
- Vice presidents, directors and managers in corporate design or communication departments
Apply now
Enrollment in “Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders” is limited to a select group of senior executives who have high-level involvement in design and strategy projects. Application acceptance is subject to the approval of the Admissions Committee, which is comprised of both AIGA executives and Yale faculty members. Apply for the program today!
