Boulder, Colorado
MAR500e 15-week Certificate Program

| Times of uncertainty and tumultuous change have stretched traditional leadership and managerial models beyond capacity. A new kind of leader is needed, one who can respond creatively and effectively in the midst of change and step beyond conventional approaches to planning and strategy. This leader is comfortable
with complexity and looks for opportunities to partner with
individuals and groups to address organizational and societal
issues. |
