The Power of Teams
Queen’s utilizes an innovative approach to team based learning that is far more sophisticated than that used in other programs. We believe strongly in our team-based approach because it mirrors today’s progressive workplace. You will leave the program with a thorough understanding of the best practices for successful team-building and teamwork, well-prepared to be a valuable member of a high-performance team.
Learning Teams
At Queen’s, you are assigned to a team for the core of the program, and a significant portion of your overall grade is derived from teamwork. Each Learning Team consists of 6 or 7 students. Teams are carefully assembled to maximize diversity of gender, academic experience and cultural background – reflecting the reality of today’s working environment.
Team Coaching and Support
A dedicated, professional Team Coach is assigned to every team. For the entire program core, they will monitor your team’s effectiveness and provide regular feedback and guidance that is pivotal to the learning process. A great deal of time during the first week of the program is devoted to setting the tone for your Learning Team. You and your teammates will be led through a series of exercises designed to get acquainted, gain insight into each member’s preferred thinking style, and successfully conduct your first team meeting.
Today, more than ever, successful managers require a first-hand, international perspective. In fact, at Procter & Gamble, we felt the need for global business knowledge was so pressing, that we were pleased to provide financial support for the creation of the Queen’s Master of International Business program. We believe this program will help instill a strong international perspective in the business leaders of the future, and we’re very proud of the contribution we were able to make.
