Objectives
Participants will emerge from the MBE LiVE with strong cross-functional skills and a solid overview of general management principles in an evolving business environment. At the end of the program, participants will be able to:
• Broaden the horizons of their own career by developing an in-depth understanding of how business works, and how specific strategic and operational choices impact results.
• Adapt business decision making from a narrow functional view to a big picture view focused on sustaining business growth for the long term.
• Deconstruct business as a dynamic, interconnected system operating in a complex, volatile strategic environment.
• Understand how various functions – finance, operations, marketing and more – work together to successfully execute a business strategy and create value.
In addition, participants will be part of a global cohort of more than 35 ambitious managers like themselves for an 8-week long period, building a healthy network to support their professional goals.
Learning journey
MBE LiVE follows a blended online methodology, consisting of self-study videos, live online sessions, self-reflection and group exercises to apply the learning. Modules include:
• Financial acumen
• Theory of the firm (Strategy)
• Customers and markets
• Executing operations
The program is comprised of both synchronous and asynchronous elements, fostering real-time interaction with faculty and cohort, but also allowing participants to adapt their learning time to their busy schedules.
Participants receive access to the CEDEP 360Learning environment one week before the first live online session. This dedicated learning space will be their virtual home for the duration of the program, enabling participants to connect with each other and the program team, access asynchronous content and track their progress.

Participant profile
The CEDEP MBE LiVE is for senior functional managers who want to refresh their business acumen and strategic perspective. Individuals, who by nature of their roles – corporate functions, business partners, business analysts – are required to demonstrate an enterprise level mindset while addressing operational challenges.
They are dedicated experts in their field who typically do not have an MBA but have functional management experience that has generally been gained on the job.
