Empowering leaders, transforming organizations: The value of D'Amore-McKim's Executive Education

In today's rapidly evolving business world, leadership isn't just about managing—it's about innovating, adapting, and driving real impact. At Northeastern University, we collaborate with organizations to design and develop fully customized executive education programs that address their unique challenges and strategic goals.

Tailored learning for maximum impact

Unlike off-the-shelf training, our programs are built from the ground up in close partnership with each organization. We take a deeply collaborative approach, ensuring that every program aligns with your company's priorities, industry trends, and workforce development needs. Whether delivered in-person, online, or in a blended format, we create learning experiences that meet leaders where they are—both geographically and in their professional journeys.

Empowering leaders at every level

We work with Fortune 500 companies and leading organizations to develop executive education programs for leaders at every stage of their careers—from early-career professionals and mid-level managers to senior executives and the C-suite. Our programs are tailored to help leaders develop critical skills, navigate complexity, and drive meaningful impact within their organizations. Our partnerships strengthen leadership pipelines, accelerate business transformation, and prepare leaders for enterprise-wide influence.

Examples of leadership themes we've developed

Every program we create is uniquely designed in collaboration with our partners. Here are some key areas we've addressed:

• Leadership Development: change management & adaptability (Leading transformation, navigating uncertainty, and fostering agility), succession planning, building high performance teams, fostering a strong organizational culture, and more.
• Business Strategy – transformational & strategic decision-making, corporate strategy in a global environment, identifying opportunities, solving challenges, and driving data-informed decisions.
• Entrepreneurship and Innovation – entrepreneurial thinking in large corporations, leading startups and scaleups, driving growth, responding to industry shifts, and leveraging emerging opportunities.  
• Communication & Influence – Enhancing persuasion, articulating vision, and inspiring action, and managing conflict.
