Information session on Rotman School of Management’s MBA Essentials

AI has shifted from being a promise of the future to the practice of the present — advancing from isolated experiments to a central force shaping organizations today. AI is redefining how organizations compete and grow. Leaders who excel are those who embed it into decisions across these domains, turning innovation into advantage and insight into measurable impact.

The MBA Essentials program, designed by the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, is a rigorous 6-week virtual learning experience that meets the growing need for leaders who can connect MBA foundations with the dynamics of an AI-driven economy.

Each week, participants explore essential MBA disciplines through a practical and AI-informed lens. They will learn to integrate mission and vision in strategy, link global trends to business planning in macroeconomics, apply investment decision rules in finance, interpret financial statements in accounting, and develop brand strategies in marketing, all while exploring ways to use AI.
