A Message from the Center Director
Dear Visitor,
Welcome to the Center for Management Development in Tokyo, Japan.
We help professionals and organizations thrive in a world of complexity, speed, and constant change by offering cohort-based, non-degree executive education courses—in English—that deliver the rigor of MBA-level learning with the relevance of real-world application. All without the cost, time, or constraints of traditional business schools.
Our flagship courses in Strategy and Entrepreneurship are more than academic exercises. They are immersive, carefully designed learning experiences that ask each participant to think deeply, engage fully, and grow intentionally. They are built for professionals who are ready to do the work—to sharpen their judgment, strengthen their leadership character, and prepare to take the next step in their careers.
Partner with Us.
Organizations looking to enhance their Employer Brand and strengthen their Employee Value Proposition are invited to join our Learning Consortium—a high-trust, cross-industry group of non-competing companies committed to developing their people. Consortium members collaborate with the Center on admissions criteria, then each member sponsors a Learning Team of high-potential employees. The result is a rigorous, diverse, and professionally enriching cohort that mirrors the caliber and cross-industry profile of a top-tier MBA classroom—at a fraction of the cost.
Multiple Paths to Participation.
Whether you are an individual professional or an HR leader, we offer multiple paths to participation:
- Individual Admission for motivated professionals
- Company-sponsored Learning Consortium Cohort Sections for cross-industry collaboration
- In-House Delivery for organizations seeking to develop multiple teams internally
If you are looking for a serious, values-driven approach to executive education—grounded in research, designed for impact—we invite you to explore what we offer.
We look forward to learning with you.
Warm regards,
Sean M. HACKETT, Ph.D.
Director, The Center for Management Development
