LCELP – Life Cycle Executive Leadership Program
Optimizing Life Cycle Management
Cradle to Grave
Acquire new insights to enhance your organization’s product and system life cycle management. In this program designed for experienced life cycle leaders, you will learn strategies to reduce costs and increase effectiveness across product and systems design, improvement, and sustainment. Return to your organization equipped with new strategic insights to maximize long-term investments across the life cycle.
Collaborate with peers from diverse organizations across the public and private sector through a digital platform to exchange best practices and lessons learned from their experience in life cycle management. Led by expert faculty and industry practitioners, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of life cycle theories, practices, and techniques to cultivate an integrated, effective, and efficient life cycle.
Key Topics
The Life Cycle Executive Leadership Program was designed to increase participants’ knowledge, skills, and abilities while linking them to a broader network of industry peers. It reinforces practical “working” strategies, expanding and facilitating knowledge transfer and cooperation within and among participating organizations and provides world-class academic instruction, peer interaction, and in-depth exchanges with military and private sector counterparts.
Prior to the program, each participant submits a problem statement outlining a life cycle management challenge that they face in their job. These statements are distilled into five to seven common topics, which are assigned to working groups comprised of participants with similar challenges. The groups meet during the week to explore solutions, exchange ideas, and apply lessons learned from the day’s sessions. On the final day participants brief a professor and a senior military and/or private sector leader on their proposed solutions.
