Return on Investment

What are the returns for sponsor companies?

The Omnium Global Executive MBA helps firms active in the international marketplace gain long-term competitive advantage and retain their high achievers.  According to companies that reimburse or sponsor employees in MBA programs and measure return on investment, it takes 17 months for a company to recover its investment.*

Omnium participants begin delivering returns almost immediately as high-potential managers apply learning addressing:

  • Leading international practices in strategy and management & operations
  • Valuable analytical and team-working skills relevant to culturally diverse business environments
  • Fresh insights and potential solutions to actual global business challenges through group and individual projects

Longer-term Omnium returns include the contributions of graduates able:

  • To assume broader international roles and responsibilities.
  • To provide informed global strategic thinking
  • To deliver outstanding on-the-job performance based on practical international experience

What do we ask of employers?

  • Arrange work schedules and responsibilities to allow the student to complete on-line courses and participate in five multi-week international residencies and one two-week Toronto residency spread out over 18 months
  • Cooperate on the student’s projects by allowing him or her to study an issue in the company. Students have been able to deliver five- and six-figure savings to their companies as a result of some of these projects.

The investment in an Omnium Global Executive MBA is just that, an investment that will pay back for years to come.
