Welcome

The Lazaridis EMTM is unlike any other executive program in Canada. Our goal is to develop leaders who can adapt to business disruptions and approach problems with creative thinking.

We offer participants the opportunity to learn and interact with faculty members and fellow students in novel ways–both online and offline–through integrated projects, case studies and simulations that have intentional learning outcomes. This 11-month management program is intensive, and carries with it a lifetime of professional connections and personal transformation.

I hope you enjoy learning more and encourage you to connect with any questions you may have.
