Custom Executive Development Experiences

For over fifty years, UNC Executive Development has partnered with organizations to create customized executive programs to answer their business challenges. Our custom experiences are distinct and impactful. Our teaching and learning philosophy, The Power of Experience, combines powerful program content with real-world experience.

We listen to your needs and develop deep understanding of your business and industry. We also make a commitment to your organization to meet your goals and objectives while providing ongoing support and client management. By first listening to our clients, we are able to create executive programs uniquely designed to fit your specific needs and business challenges.

Our Executive Development Staff and Faculty

Collaboration is critical to creating a successful customized experience. Our goal is to provide you with ongoing support and client management — a focus that sets us apart our client partners say.

Our staff works closely with your team throughout the entire customization process to ensure we understand your organization’s needs and create programs aligned to your business objectives. Our goal is to create transformational and unique experiences for your company and executives that help drive change long after a program is over.

Faculty members who participate in our customized programs have experience working with business executives and are experts in their fields. Many serve on company boards and as industry consultants. They also teach in the Kenan-Flagler Business School MBA, MBA for Executives and PhD programs. Our executive program development staff members take great care to identify the right faculty for each custom program. Learn more about us on Meet Our Team.
