Becoming more visible to your employer, peers, and to others both inside and outside your organization requires gathering every skill you can and developing proficiency for solving problems by thinking creatively and analytically.

Our Alumni on the Benefits to their Companies
From an EMBA Class of 2016 graduate who works in manufacturing:
"Below is a list of benefits to my company from the program.
- Improved labor efficiencies resulting in $57,000 of savings of labor
- Saved $23,000 from overtime reduction by rearranging work schedules
- Reduced inventory by $60,000 in 2015 by working with our buyers on reducing minimum order quantities, with plans to reduce inventory by $50,000 in 2016
- Managed operations team to quickly implement production line that cost $100,000 that will add $2,000,000 in sales for 2016."
From an EMBA Class of 2016 graduate who works in the chemical industry:
"The program, through its analytical and financial classes, allowed me to find more profit in my sales territory, and allowed me to negotiate win-win terms with some of our largest customers. Being able to give them a financial analysis has allowed me to grow my gross margin profit over 5% while still showing our customers a cost savings. My Purdue EMBA gave me credibility to help my team increase overall sales by 10% and shorten the sales process by more than 10 days, vs. typical sales cycles of 90-plus days."
From an EMBA Class of 2016 graduate who works in transportation logistics:
"We have created a platform of process improvements through workload assessment and efficiency gains. This has allowed us to improve productivity/efficiency with human capital by 17% while improving upon our quality performance metrics in our operation."
From an EMBA Class of 2016 graduate who works in banking:
"I was able to bring a new way of thinking to the company on how to address problems that we have faced for a number of years. Through work with faculty and fellow cohort-members, I was able to put in processes that led to the following outcomes:
- Created share-holder value as reflected in a 20% increase in stock price
- Decreased our internal cost ratio from 78% to 68% with an end goal of 65%
- Increased cross-sales per client across the bank from 2.5 products to 2.75 products (10% increase)."
From another EMBA Class of 2016 graduate who works in manufacturing:
"I grew revenue 29.3% over two years while also helping return my business unit to profitability through pricing and customer targeting strategies. I also introduced delivery zones that reduced freight costs 10.9% and increased truck utilization 18.9% for our target area while dramatically improving service levels.”
From an EMBA Class of 2016 graduate who works in oil & gas:
"Thanks to our Risk Management course, I developed a tool that helped me to screen our subsurface risks and enabled my team to focus on better opportunities for the long run. This tool also enabled a quantitative approach to decision-making, rather than being subjective. I would say the new tool which I developed helped save my company in excess of $200,000 on this one project alone.”
