2 A Word From The Dean The University of Adelaide has a proud record of delivering leading research and education, and is recognised as being in the top 1% of global universities. The Executive Education Unit continues in this tradition with over 20 years experience developing managers and leaders for organisational success. We see the role of Executive Education to transfer new knowledge into your organisation, contributing to the ongoing success of you, your team and your organisation. To support this philosophy our programs focus on practical knowledge, relevant skills and real world application. Our size allows us to be highly responsive to individual client needs and to customise both our programs and methodology. With hundreds of clients not thousands we are able to develop intimate knowledge of the organisations we work with, in order to deliver the finest organisationally specific development programs. Whether considering an open program for selected staff or a multi-modular customised program, I am confident you will find the Executive Education Unit, our faculty and our approach consistent with a world class institution. The Executive Education team and I look forward to welcoming you. Professor Lawrence Abeln (PhD Cambridge) Dean of the Business School University of Adelaide Page 2 Executive Education

I want to learn from those who are succeeding in the marketplace and in government but also from those who have seen failure. The variety of guests in this program really offered that and had a great impact on the learning experience. Rene Truan Deputy Commissioner Texas General Land Office Page 4 Executive Education
