Innovative Curriculum
Program on Social Intelligence
Columbia Business School’s Program on Social Intelligence (PSI) provides you with an individual assessment and team-development skills and is integrated throughout your entire student experience, from new-student orientation to core and elective classes. Designed and led by Michael Morris, the Chavkin-Chang Professor of Leadership in the School’s Management Division, PSI draws on the School’s growing expertise in psychology and related social sciences. You will be introduced to PSI through three distinct components: individualized assessment, experiential learning and executive coaching. Each component of PSI is designed to help you sharpen your self-awareness, judgment and decision-making skills and expand your practical capabilities in problem solving. On a more personal level, PSI will leave you with techniques for managing individuals, teams, organizations and networks in dynamic, global business contexts.
Individual, Business & Society
Columbia Business School equips you not only with the fundamental skills of management and leadership but also with the ability to thoughtfully consider the sometimes competing demands of business, individuals and society at large. The Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Center for Leadership and Ethics’s Individual, Business and Society (IBS) curriculum uses a series of thought-provoking sessions to address issues of individual leadership and personal integrity, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility through modules in core courses and through special sessions held throughout the year. The IBS curriculum investigates actual current ethical challenges from real-world business situations through case discussions and in-depth class sessions that will engage you to contemplate and understand these important issues.
