Halliburton Business Leadership Development III –
Program Information
For more than 50 years, the Center for Executive Development at Mays Business School, Texas A&M University, has provided management training for organizations in a variety of industries. We have been proud to provide a series of customized training programs for Halliburton since 2004. (For more information: http://ced.tamu.edu/).
Program Objective: to introduce or review important management principles which directly affect the operation and profitability of Halliburton.
Please Note: Halliburton’s expectation is that you are committing to all three weeks of the program for which you are nominated. A major team project is assigned at the end of Week 1, which will necessitate multiple virtual team meetings between the designated weeks. The teams present their case findings to a panel comprised of Halliburton management and A&M faculty when they return. Therefore, if there is a cancellation of Week 2 or Week 3, with the exception of extreme mitigating circumstances which must be approved by Halliburton, there will be a charge incurred. Failure to attend Week 2 or Week 3 has a major adverse impact on your team.
Location: The Center for Executive Development, Mays Business School, Texas A&M University.
Hotel Accommodations: The Hilton, 801 University Drive East, College Station, Texas
