Summer School is an intensive learning experience for leaders who want to work with the forces shaping their decisions. Here, research and practice meet in focused days dedicated to technology, geopolitics, strategy, and leadership. The goal is not just new knowledge, but stronger judgment.
What they lack is time to think
Every day, leaders make decisions under pressure. About strategy. AI. Organization. Transformation. Risk. And responsibility. But the hardest decisions require more than experience. They require perspective.
At CBS Executive Summer School, leaders come together for intensive summer courses where practice meets research — and where you have the time to think.
From insight to decision
Leadership requires the ability to understand context, see interdependencies, and translate insight into action.
At CBS Executive Summer School, you learn from faculty with deep expertise and exchange perspectives with peers who challenge your thinking.
You return with sharpened judgment—ready to act with greater clarity.
