Executive Management Program (EMP) Overview
AGC of Wisconsin has partnered with management consulting firm Wipfli, LLP to create a unique construction oriented executive leaders’ development program. The Executive Management Program serves executives, owners, and current leaders transitioning into an executive role taking them offline and away from working in their business, and redirecting their focus to working on their business.
Six intense modules, delivered over six months, explore various aspects of transformational leadership including Leadership, Vision, People, Communication, Operations, and Innovation
EMP participants build trusting relationships among peers, gain strategic knowledge, and hone their skills by working together to apply strategies and tactics to help drive transformational change into their business. Cross-discipline learning and project partner (general and specialty contractors) perspectives are shared and discussed from a partnering perspective as viewed through the project owner lens.
The AGC Executive Management Program is targeted at Leadership AGC graduates, key decision makers within an organization, and current leaders transitioning into future executive roles within AGC Member firms.
