This six-day interactive program will be held Mar. 22 to Mar. 27, 2014 on the Darden campus in Charlottesville, Va., and will provide strategic leadership training tailored to the risk management and insurance industry.

Designed to accelerate the development of leadership skills and deepen managers’ understanding of insurance industry issues and how they influence decision-making, the curriculum includes these course titles:

Several courses are presented in a “learning teams” format, allowing small groups to discuss cases and other in-class assignments to encourage interaction between participants and learning from each other’s diverse perspectives.

In addition to allowing participants to build a global network of industry peers and experts, the program is designed to help attendees gain a competitive advantage by learning strategic decision-making techniques.
