"CEO Boot Camp" Unveils 2006 Schedule


New York, August 31, 2005 (Updated: October 1, 2005) - Korn/Ferry International, a premier global provider of talent management solutions, together with The Wharton Club of New York and Boot Camps Unlimited, offers senior executive boot camps, each designed exclusively for CEOs at companies with at least $500 million in sales. These sessions provide executives with the opportunity to learn from their peers by spending two days in intense, off-the-record discussions.

Each session includes an opening reception, dinner and discussions, one of which focuses on best practices to strengthen strategy, people and lines of communication. Functional experts then lead interactive discussions on topics of particular relevance to the group.

            • May 8-9 New York

            • September 11-12 New York

Our upcoming CEO program, which will be facilitated by the on-boarding and executive transition firm PrimeGenesis, includes:
