Why MBA 3.0? Why Now?

The Masters in Business Administration "1.0" was created during the Industrial Revolution to help businesses optimize manufacturing efficiency. Today, MBA "2.0" is still offered primarily as a degree program and focuses on optimizing business efficiency.

These programs are no longer sufficient. We still see major business issues such as missed promises, disengaged workers, dependency hell, and vanishing profits. 

MBA 3.0 focuses on helping a new generation of leaders to Master Business Agility.

The goal of MBA 3.0 is to optimize the rate of value produced by the team you currently have, in your current business situation. It is offered in a modular program structure so leaders can get exactly what they need first.

Missed Promises

We can't keep our commitments
- and we don't know why!

Disengaged workers

Everyone does exactly what they are told - and only that!

Dependency Hell

It's all a big ball of yarn - and clarifying priorities does not help!

Vanishing Profits

Margins are down
- and getting lower!

The MBA 3.0 Program

Creating A Program

MBA 3.0 is my approach to consulting for CTOs and CPOs, packaged up into a modular VP/Director level program.

MBA 3.0 aims to level up the CxO-directs leadership team to keep their collective focus on value delivery, predictability and productivity - not just business efficiency.

Earning The Experience

This business agility core curriculum is the culmination of three decades of driving performance and value delivery across organizations.

About half of that was earned in leadership positions at big corporations. The other half was gained as a senior consultant across industries.

The $1Bn Trigger

After a few years of helping leaders generate more value in their organization, I delivered a whale. I showed my client a one-billion-dollar opportunity hiding in plain sight!

For over a decade since, I have continued to refine my approach to generating value, across industries.

A 1000x ROI

MBA 3.0 is now available as public training. Why? Every private program delivered in the last two years has seen multiple leaders who identify immediate value opportunities between $38M and $65M that they couldn’t even see before. That’s an immediate return of over 1000x!

Micro-Training Access

The program is designed with a total of ten days of instruction and five experience reports.

You can also pick and choose from the ten individual day-long micro-trainings and earn individual credentials in the topics that are most relevant to you.

A culmination of three decades of experience...

Modular Program Structure

The MBA 3.0 Program is completely modular so you can either take a Program level class covering all five topics, or choose the topic most relevant for you right now - and at the appropriate level for your situation.

Go wide across all MBA 3.0 topics

For example, you can take all the Associate level classes to earn the full MBA 3.0 Associate credential.

While these are usually offered in sequence, they can be taken in any order.

Credential Code = MBA3-A1
Pre-requisites = None
Credential Code = MBA3-A2
Pre-requisites = None
Credential Code = MBA3-A3
Pre-requisites = None
Credential Code = MBA3-A4
Pre-requisites = None
Credential Code = MBA3-A5
Pre-requisites = None
Completing all the Associate classes will earn you the full
MBA 3.0 Associate credential

Go deep into one or more MBA 3.0 topics

You can also choose to earn up to three levels for any one single topic. This involves two classes an one experience report. This works for any of the topics and here is an example for End-to-End flow:

First you would take the
Associate Level class
Credential Code = MBA3-A3
Pre-requisites = None
Then you would take the
Director Level class
Credential Code = MBA3-D3
Pre-requisites = MBA3-A3
Then submit an experience report for the Executive Level credential
Credential Code = MBA3-E3
Pre-requisites = MBA3-D3

Choose your own path

Here are all the credentials and courses in the program to help you choose what you need:
