  1. The Continuing Search for External Funding of Business Schools: A Next Generation Approach to Executive Education

  2. Center for Executive Education (CEE) Statistical Profile • Industry-funded start-up in 1972 • Cumulative billings of >$100 million • Worked with over 500 companies • Involved over 25,000 participants & more than 200 faculty • Catalog of 25-30 programs • Full-time staff of 25 with over 50 PhD faculty • Projected annual revenues of $7.5 million

  3. Three Views of CEE’s Domain 1. Niche strategy • A boutique R&D outfit, more interested in the quality of work than in the quantity of work • Focused on being the thought leaders who develop next-generation solutions in carefully targeted domains 2. Core competence Interdisciplinary innovation in designing and delivering solutions-oriented programs using our High-Compression LearningSM methods 3. Organization All College of Business programs for working managers and executives Degree Programs: specialized MBAs Non-Degree Programs: short courses on Total Operations Excellence (TOPEX)

  4. What Sets Us Apart? • University vs. consulting company • Strong customer focus • Applied solutions orientation • Interdisciplinary collaboration and integration • Research AND development organization • Clear TOPEX focus • High-Compression LearningSM methods • ROI mentality and strong value propositions

  5. Specialized Executive MBAs • AMBA — Aerospace MBA, national program covering aerospace value stream (1 yr) • PEMBA — Physician Executive MBA, global program for MD business training (1 yr) • ProMBA — Professional MBA, regional weekend program for professionals accelerating their careers (16 mos) • SEMBA — Senior Executive MBA, national/global program for proven managers transitioning to general mgt/executive levels (1 yr)

  9. Difficulties • Marketplace is more competitive than ever • More schools placing more emphasis on external sources of funding • Greater overlap with consulting organizations • Stronger company in-sourcing options • Unsophisticated buyers and sophisticated buyers • Greater upfront investment required to reach acceptable quality levels • Increasingly complicated problems to be addressed by customers

  10. A Case Study: Aerospace-Defense Transformation • Strategically focused on A-D starting in 2002 • AMBA degree program and Lean MRO non-degree programs were first efforts • Soon became aware of national scope of issues to be addressed and inadequacy of our traditional approach • Let’s review the ideas we’re discussing with DOD/A-D and discuss implications, problems, opportunities, etc.

  11. DOD/A-D Requirements • Increased availability & readiness • Greater agility & ability to rapidly adapt • Reduced Total Ownership Costs • Acquisition (28% of TOC) • Operations Cost (12% of TOC) • Logistics Support Costs (60% of TOC) Simultaneously delivering on all three requires a transformation of the defense enterprise spanning the total life cycle of systems management

  12. We Already Know More Than We Are Doing • Distribution Process Owner • Total Asset Visibility • RFID • UIC • Supply Chain Management • Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints, ISO 9000 Certification, Lean Production/MRO, Total Quality Management/Leadership • Performance Based Contracting/Logistics • Contractor Logistics Support • Public/Private Partnering • ERP, GCSS-Army, GCSS-MC • Net-Centric Logistics We don’t need another process improvement program!

  13. Basic Premises • Current training and educational model is not adequate as a change driver • We need a new national model For tackling national issues National educational/development priorities are not well served by the current “cottage industry” approach to education

  14. Courses of Action • COA # 1 - Each Facility/Contractor Continues Independent Effort • COA # 2 - Each Service Consolidates Efforts • COA # 3 – OSD/J-4/Services Consolidate Efforts • COA # 4 – Establish a Commercial/Military (COMIL) National Center for Aerospace and Defense Transformation (ADTRAN) to support COA 1-3

  15. COA # 4National Center for Aerospace and Defense Transformation • Engage defense acquisition university to ensure standardized approaches across OEMs and DOD • Commercial sector participation a key element • Partner with academic institution with recognized expertise in essential areas

  16. A Snap-Shot of the Desired “To Be” End State Materials & Programs Materials & Programs Corporate Sponsor Proposals RFPs & Funding Proposals Proposals Funding & Guidance Funding & Guidance National Clearing-house DOD Sponsor DOD University Corporate University Local College Materials & Programs Materials & Programs Proposals Proposals RFPs & Funding RFPs & Funding National University Proposals RFPs & Funding Materials & Programs Materials & Programs

  17. Shortcomings of the “As Is” Educational Model • Too much education and training is not customer focused. We too often lack reliable mechanisms for incorporating the voice of the customer into curriculum design. • We have no mechanism to help the isolated players work together to solve big problems of national importance. • We lack the ability to effectively transfer best practices between military and commercial organizations. • We are busy needlessly duplicating 101 “survey” courses while ignoring critically important “upper division” programs and courses beyond most obvious needs. This is a systems-level problem that we are trying to manage in a piecemeal fashion.

  18. Shortcomings of the “As Is” Educational Model (cont’d) • Though we are duplicating efforts, uncoordinated educational efforts are still contributing to the Tower of Babble problem. • We are failing to adequately absorb the tremendous up-front costs associated with quality program development. • We are grossly underutilizing technology. • Educational and developmental resources are not available where and when we need them at the local college / school level. • We are losing tribal knowledge faster than it is being replaced.

  19. Developing a National Curriculum Requires a National Network Materials & Programs Materials & Programs Corporate Sponsor Proposals RFPs & Funding Proposals Proposals Funding & Guidance Funding & Guidance National Clearing-house DOD Sponsor DOD University Corporate University Local College Materials & Programs Materials & Programs Proposals Proposals RFPs & Funding RFPs & Funding National University Proposals RFPs & Funding Materials & Programs Materials & Programs

  20. There are Ample Successful Precedents of Clearinghouses,… • National Science Foundation • Lean Aerospace Initiative • Center for Innovation Management Studies • Hundreds of smaller scale “forums” …but virtually all focus on research.

  21. A Pilot Test of the National Curriculum Concept • Select a medium-sized, integrative topic • Work across segments of DOD/A-D sector • Work with partner schools in each of four categories: A. Large Universities B. Corporate Universities C. DOD Universities D. Smaller Schools and Colleges • Build in several funding gates to limit risk • Use small rapid experiments to gain experience and work out bugs • Grow only as success warrants

  22. Funding Strategy • Use Experts from across DOD/A-D To Advise And Promote • Seed money for start up from University of Tennessee • Partnerships with leading military, corporate, and public universities • Funding through OSD and AIA and NDIA membership

  23. Discussion Questions • What are the greatest obstacles to making the idea work? • Who has the weakest WIIFM? • What are the greatest risks? • What precedent and experience base is there to draw upon? • Who else might be interested in “joining up”?
