What is the Certificate Program in Business Strategy?

"The true professional commands a complete body of knowledge - a discipline - and updates that knowledge constantly." This quote is attributed to James Bryan Quinn, Professor Emeritus, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College.

The Certificate Program in Business Strategy is an academic program of study whose mission is to train true professionals -- people who possess the talent to lead, and the desire to learn throughout their lives. The Program can be completed by any professional, anywhere in the world, since it combines distance learning with online and telephone-based interaction.

To accomplish this, we have built a remarkable faculty that is close to practice, that creates deep understanding of business, and that teaches with skill and passion. We have digitally recorded their lectures so that a global community of professionals can experience their teachings. The Round Table Scholars represent the greatest collaboration of faculty ever created: men and women from the finest business and law schools in the world.

The Certificate Program in Business Strategy does more than provide skills, knowledge and tools: it changes our lives and builds the foundation for a lifetime of leadership in a dynamic and changing world.

Why was the Certificate Program Created?

To offer a rigorous, home-based course of study in business strategy that is accessible to busy global managers, and to incorporate teachings from classic texts and philosophy into business strategy teachings.

A different age demands a different mindset. At Round Table Group we use information technology, cases and reading materials in new and creative ways to make learning an intense, interactive engagement. It's a remarkable experience that inspires our students to make a difference in the world.

Success in business comes from experience and knowledge, from the ability to analyze and reflect, from observing and interacting with others, and learning from these encounters.

Round Table Group's learning model is based on these principles. It's a process of inductive learning that goes beyond facts and theories-a process that teaches individuals not only how to manage organizations, but also how to continually grow and learn throughout life. A process that empowers our students to be architects of their own future.
