ASU is not currently accepting applications for this program.
This is where those with high potential turn to master delivery of Industry 4.0 growth.
The MGLS is a global cohort executive leadership and strategy program that centers on development of students' advanced capabilities to conceptualize and deliver profitable growth, along with the competencies to lead strategy execution efforts in a complex and dynamic global environment. This innovative program closely patterns executive decision realities by orienting around key themes that naturally flow --- from the macro to the micro, global to local, public to private --- interweaving relevant disciplines to address the pressing issues that executives face. It is transdisciplinary in both approach and execution.
The Master of Global Leadership and Strategy program combines thematically anchored content with field-deployed experiential learning projects (alternating between developed and emerging markets) that enable participants to interact firsthand with leaders who shape policy and industry and to demonstrate executive acumen through action and response simulation, sprint consultancy engagement, and innovation challenge delivery. The result is a deeply innovative, action-oriented, global executive education experience.
