What is the Kellogg Executive Scholars Program?
How can I benefit from the Kellogg Executive Scholars Program?
The Kellogg Executive Scholars Program recognizes the commitment of executives who have completed a selected track of executive education programs at the Kellogg School of Management by awarding a Certificate of Professional Achievement in one or more of these subject areas:
The Kellogg Executive Scholars Program does more than enhance your credentials with a Certificate of Professional Achievement from a world-renowned academic institution. Upon completion of the program you will also become a Kellogg Executive Education Alumnus, and will be eligible for the valuable lifelong learning and networking alumni benefits listed below.
• Marketing and Sales Management • Financial Management • Leadership and Management •O perations, Supply Chain and Technology Management • General Management • Nonprofit Management Providing the academic rigor and professional relevance executives demand, the Kellogg Executive Scholars Program gives you the flexibility to achieve your specific professional goals on your own schedule. If you want more training in general management but don’t have time for a three- or four-week program, or want to reposition yourself in your company, refresh your prior education or sharpen a specific skill, the Kellogg Executive Scholars Program is the ideal way to achieve your goal.
How does the program work? Kellogg Executive Scholars are awarded Certificates of Professional Achievement after successful completion of four to five selected executive programs at the Kellogg School. There is a time limit of five years to complete the programs, and the programs do not need to be attended in a specific order. The four programs must include one required program and three electives. (The Certificate of Professional Achievement in Nonprofit Management has separate criteria.)

custom PROGRAMs Tailored to your needs
Customized solutions are the Kellogg way. We know that square pegs don’t fit into round holes, and we understand that one-size-fits-all solutions aren’t solutions at all. That is why we helped to pioneer customized executive education in the 1970s. For nearly forty years, the Kellogg School has designed Custom Programs to enable organizations to reexamine old processes and challenges with new eyes so they leave inspired to put new ideas into action. We believe in service and the power of education to affect change, and we are proud to have helped organizations like Kraft, General Electric and Ernst & Young to address strategic challenges, and increase organizational performance. Kellogg Custom Programs are tailored to meet your needs. Whether you wish to design a three-day program entirely focused on finance or a two-week general management program that covers everything from compensation plans to integrating your communications strategies, the Kellogg School’s world-class faculty and resources and our collaborative learning environment can help you achieve your goals. Custom Programs at the Kellogg School begin in the same manner that they are designed and delivered: with dialogue. We pride ourselves on treating you as real people rather than merely requests, so we invite you to contact us to discuss your goals and objectives. After determining whether your needs match our capabilities, we will prepare a program proposal for your organization to review.

THE CUSTOMER-FOCUSED ORGANIZATION: Leadership, Strategy and Implementation
2013 Sessions Evanston, Illinois May 13-16 November 11-14

customerfocus.kellogg.northwestern.edu
What does it mean to be a truly Customer-Focused Organization, and what kind of leadership does it take to develop a customerfocused strategy and then to implement this strategy to achieve and sustain focus on the customer?
MARKETING & SALES
Organizations focused on their customers consistently outperform their competition. These companies carefully segment their customers, develop a specific value offering for their target customers and deliver an outstanding customer experience. In these organizations everyone, regardless of position or function, knows what the customer strategy means for his or her job and makes decisions consistent with this strategy. But how does one transform a company to focus on its customers when it is fixated on keeping its machines running efficiently or on making sure everyone complies with previously successful policies and practices? This program will develop key steps a leader takes, beginning with a clear definition of the customer-focus end state, the development of a marketing strategy and the organization’s design to support the strategy. The program also discusses various change methods contingent on the company’s starting point and the mindset of its senior management.
sales processes from a customer
“Our company is completely redesigning our marketing and perspective across our entire dealer channel, and this program is directly relevant to the process design we’re implementing. The program is exceptional in terms of the quality of instruction and the practicality of its content. I took away many things from the workshop that I could use immediately.” Division Manager, John Deere Construction and Forestry
Participants will learn to: • Communicate to others in their company what a truly customerfocused company is and how to become one • Understand how customers experience an organization’s products and services—and the impact customer experience has on retention, brand image and competitive advantage • Drive the customer value proposition throughout an organization thereby converting the company’s intended brand into a real and valued brand in the mind of the customer • Understand the issues involved in leading the change to customer focus—gaining support, dealing with resistance, communicating the opportunities and challenges, and having the patience to accept the time it takes to achieve momentum
Who should attend? If you are an executive with the responsibility to initiate or enhance your company’s focus on its markets and customers, or a key player in the development and implementation of such initiatives, this program is designed for you. Past attendees have included general or group managers, directors of strategic planning, heads of major functions, senior marketing managers as well as heads of customer experience and perception management.
Bring the team Our participants’ experience has been that it is often beneficial to bring several members of their management or implementation team or associates from other functions. Having the team experience the program together speeds implementation. To encourage this, teams of two or more receive a private consulting session and 10% off the cost of the program.

DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT: Bridging the Sales and Marketing Divide channel.kellogg.northwestern.edu
MARKETING & SALES “I took away lots of practical applications specific to my industry. The instructors did a good job of identifying the companies represented at the session and making sure the information was relevant. My company doesn’t have a channel manager, but based on what I’ve learned, we’re trying to work through many of the strategies.
Managers frequently complain about a lack of communication between their marketing and sales executives, often caused by a poorly designed or implemented distribution channel strategy. A well-designed distribution channel strategy takes into account both the salespeople’s activities with channel partners and the marketing managers’ efforts to better reach and serve end-users. Distribution Channel Management builds a coherent framework that unites marketing and sales efforts in a collaborative learning environment. This program addresses the needs of consumer goods and services companies selling through wholesalers and retailers; businessto-business firms working through independent distributors and sales representative firms; retailers seeking to improve efficiency in an increasingly competitive marketplace; and intermediaries seeking to preserve their role in an increasingly fluid channel structure.
All the tools the instructor gave us—from worksheets to electronic formats—I was able to implement immediately.” VP National Accounts, Marriott Global Sales Organization
Participants will learn to: • Better understand the role distribution channels play in their company’s business model • Segment their market for optimal channel design • Assess and satisfy the service output demands of their end-users • Optimize the allocation of costly activities among channel partners • Identify gaps in channel performance on both the demand and supply sides • Use channel power to bring about productive change in the channel’s operation • Diagnose sources of channel conflict and develop tools for conflict resolution
Who should attend? This program is designed for senior-level executives (managers, directors and vice presidents) in manufacturing, wholesale, retail, or service firms who have responsibility for creating and managing channels of distribution—or who have broader strategic responsibilities of which channel strategies are a part.

Great leaders must constantly improve the way they relate to and interact with their people.

From new markets to mature markets and across every industry, innovation plays a critical role in an organization’s success.
