Who is the program for?
The Harvard Business Publishing online model is for new managers and professionals transitioning into a staff management position. It is a natural fit for the environment industry, as many professionals have strong technical and scientific competencies, but may be new to managing staff.
How does the program work?
This unique training program begins with a questionnaire that assesses your familiarity with concepts covered in the Stepping Up to Management™ modules, and their relevance to your current job responsibilities. The assessment results prioritize the modules based on your indicated relevance and knowledge. You can then plan to spend more of your time on high priority modules as you progress through the program.
