About EDP
The gaming industry is one of the most dynamic in the
world today, and the need for an interchange of ideas, insights and knowledge
continues to be paramount.
Gaming companies worldwide must be increasingly sensitive to their impacts
on local and regional economies, while also honing their management effectiveness,
maintaining market share and attracting new customers.
The University of Nevada, Reno’s Executive Development Program
is designed for those whose roles are to think strategically — about
product, attractions, casino environment, employee development, community
relations, partnerships and exceptional customer service. The program
increases your capacity to lead and manage in a changing environment
and prepares participants to assess two key questions:
- How well positioned is my organization to meet current and
future challenges? The Executive Development Program can
help you lead organizational change. It provides the information
and insights to help your organization respond to a rapidly shifting
landscape.
- How effective is my own strategic leadership? The
Executive Development Program is particularly useful as a source of
professional renewal for those with years of experience in gaming,
as well as an important educational opportunity for those about to
move into positions of substantial responsibility in your organization.
The program helps participants deepen their insights, broaden their
resources and refine their approaches to leadership.
As a participant of the program you will be among the pacesetters in
the gaming industry — leaders from around the world who grapple
with important strategic issues common to casino gaming.
In a series of stimulating and demanding class sessions, participants
will examine key issues — sustaining competitive advantage, responding
to political uncertainties, managing organizational change, developing
strategic alliances and adapting to the rules of a new playing field
in the ever-changing gaming industry. Case studies that mirror industry-wide
concerns provide a real-world basis for problem solving and effective
management. You will establish lasting professional relationships — valuable
to you and critical to your organization well into the 21st century.
