MANAGEMENT

INSTITUTE

George CookNational Director, Pearson Chicago, Illinois

I enrolled in CMI because I thought it was a great way to update my skills and gain new knowledge. I was especially interested in getting a stronger grip

on the financial aspects of management. I travel extensively for work and could never dedicate enough time to get my MBA or find an executive education program that was flexible enough to work with my work schedule. I couldnt have come to CMI had it not been for its flexible format. The format gives you time to reflect on what you learned in class, apply it, and have adequate prep time for the upcoming session. The structure is perfect if youre a busy, working professional.

CMI has given me the framework for making critical business and personal decisions and the confidence to implement behaviors that can impact

the growth of my company. Running my own company, I realized I needed more of the business fundamentals. CMIs curriculum was challenging but understandable. It gets you thinking. It gets you out of your box. Also, the every-other-week format was just the right amount of time. I could have one full week at the office and then be ready for class the following week. And I got so much out of CMI that could apply to my business directly. Finance. Marketing. Strategy. Im already using what I learned at work.

CMI has a truly great

reputation at my company.

My senior vice president

was a CMI graduate, who

highly recommended the

program and fully supported my participa-

tion as a way to contribute to my profession-

al growth. Once I enrolled, the programs

quality was even better than I anticipated.

And I didnt stop learning on the day

the classes were over. A couple of years

later, I am still reaping benefits, whether

its through enrichment opportunities,

ongoing conversations with my classmates,

or going back through the materials from

class and applying them in a new way now

that I am in a new position. CMI helped me

to grow in a variety of different avenues. I

would definitely recommend CMI for any

aspiring leader in a company.

ShirleyJ.WhitesellVice PresidentPeopleAMSTED Industries

Weve sent eight employees, four of whom have

an MBA, to the last four sessions of CMI. Its a

good way for senior people in our business units

to get broader exposure to other companiesand

other countries. Oftentimes, especially if their

MBA is from a smaller institution, their exposure has been limited

to local industries. CMI gives them a lot more insights and the

opportunity to build relationships with other participants and find

out how other companies do things. From my perspective, this

broader exposure as well as the knowledge gained from the

faculty are the most valuable aspects of the program. Its a

great opportunity for people to develop themselves.

EMPLOYER PERSPECTIVE

Michelle CooneyGlobal Head of Learning and Talent Development, Newedge Group Chicago, Illinois

I came to CMI to update

my skills. I was surprised

how much I enjoyed

being back in an

academic environment

and learning concepts

relevant for what I am doing today. I

was equally surprised by how much the

faculty enjoyed teaching in the program.

They capitalized on the expertise and

experience of the students in the room.

I never felt like I was being lectured to.

The faculty members were excellent at facilitating interactive and stimulating discussions. Because they knew us and what kind industries we were

in, they could draw upon the talents of

the group to make the class sessions

engaging and interactive. I would look

forward to each class because the sessions

were so incredibly energizing, refreshing,

and intellectually stimulating.

Staying Connected


Mark SextonPrincipal, Krueck + Sexton Architects

Perhaps no field was harder hit by the recent economic downturn than the design and construction industry. And despite having several high profile and successful projects to our credit, we were no exception. My partner and I decided we needed some proven strategies for navigating these difficult times, so we enrolled in the Chicago Management Institute at Chicago. By stepping back and critically examining our field and competitors, we gained invaluable tools to help further define our business and its goals. It enabled us to see our firm and our profession in a different light and that was quite helpful. We actually learned something very simple: that goals are not strategies. I want to be more relevant, is not a strategy; its a goal. The strategy is how youre

going to get there. We were able to take these deceptively simple lessons and use them to develop a strategic plan that theyre now using to gauge what course the firm will take. Today, our firm is looking toward the future and applying the skillsets we learned to strengthen relationships and keep the spotlight on the dynamic, creative work we love.

PARTICIPANT PERSPECTIVES

Return on InvestmentHow do CMI participants apply what they learn?How have their organizations benefited?

ShrojalDesai,PhDGlobal R&D Manager, Hospira Inc.

For the past couple of years, I have been considering pursuing an Executive MBA. However, given my already demanding full-time job responsibilities, I was hesitant of making such a huge commitment.Then, I learned about the Chicago Management Institute (CMI). The bi-weekly format has given me the opportunity to bring my learnings from the class back to work and my work experiences back to class this to me is a complete loop, practical training.

CMI has been an eye-opening experience for me. Instead of giving the solution to a problem, the teachers here give you a framework to think and ask insightful questions, which helps in solving a variety of real-life problems. I had never imagined that the return on

JasonDivernoCOO, Prestige Maintenance

As COO of Prestige Maintenance, I take a lot of pride in the company that my parents founded in 1976 and nurtured from the ground up. But I realized that we had been doing business and operating the same way since the companys inception, even though the competitive market continues to change.

I enrolled in the Chicago Management Institute and have been able to start implementing what I learned right away. One of the keytakeawaysreiteratedthroughouttheprogramwasdataeverythinggoesbacktothedata.ThankstoCMI, I have a better understanding of how to define and use metrics to determine the cost associated with getting the

desired outcome for the customer.

We have become more strategic in determining what industries to target and defining our customer segments, which has enabled us to maximize our growth potential. Because we gained more insights into our competitors and the marketplace, we are able to be more responsive to our customers needs than ever before.
