EMBA in Occupational Health and Safety Leadership

Upcoming Start Dates: January 6, March 3

Welcome to Canada’s first Executive MBA in Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) Leadership! This visionary new program has been jointly developed and is supported by the Canadian Society of Safety Engineering (CSSE). *CSSE CHSC-certified members will be granted a 1-course advanced standing, and are not required to take the Level B elective.

Why This Program Is Needed

The role of the occupational health and safety (OHS) unit in an organization has been steadily and significantly rising to prominence over the last several decades, with many organizations being transferred into the Operations function. This is well-deserved, as the evidence clearly indicates that well-designed and well-managed OHS programs contribute to a much healthier, more satisfied and more productive workforce, coincidentally with a significant financial upside for the organization.

EMBA in Social Enterprise Leadership

Upcoming Start Dates: October 28, January 6

A Social Enterprise (SE) is generally understood to be a business operated or owned by a non-profit organization, established at least partly to supplement its public funding and charitable donations.

Thus, in response to the growing demand for SE leaders, and the complexity of SE leadership, our online Executive MBA program has been developed with the advice of some of Canada’s leading practitioners to meet the sector’s specific needs....

EMBA in Innovation Leadership

Upcoming Start Dates October 28, January 6

Why This Program Is Needed

In today's global business environment, every part of an organization must run in perfect alignment and at peak efficiency in order to meet the demands imposed by relentless global competitors. However, the same organization must also be able to regenerate itself to seek bold new directions that offer new opportunities for motivation and growth, be they new product categories, new markets, new partnerships, new processes, or new organizational structures. For example, think of Apple's foray into portable MP3 music players with their famous iPod, which represented a substantial departure from their main lines of computer hardware and software; yet which, successfully done, garnered over 90% share of the MP3 market within three years of its launch, at premium prices. ...
