LeadingPRINT Advanced Leadership program

The Association for PRINT Technologies (APTech) and the George Mason University School of Business launched the LeadingPRINT: Advanced Leadership Program with its first online education offering: “Managing Transformation in the Printing Industry.”

A collaboration between industry experts at APTech and leadership from Mason’s School of Business, the LeadingPRINT: Advanced Leadership Program is designed to provide leaders in the printing industry with the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to successfully transform their companies and generate continued success in an industry being disrupted by the radical change in technologies, in markets, in business, and in financial models, according to a statement.

“It’s critically important for ‘outside’ business leadership knowledge and experience to join with our printing industry expertise so we can offer printing industry professionals new and valuable business-growth insights,” said Thayer Long, president, APTech. “This exciting new professional development opportunity is consistent with APTech’s commitment to developing unique and relevant products and services for our members.”

The program consists of three modules that are essential for leading organizational transformation: Marketplace Disruption (Vision of the Market), Customer Principles (Vision of the Customer), and Implementation (Vision of the Process).

The nine-week program will run June 10 – August 30, 2020, be taught by Mason School of Business professors and will be delivered through the university’s Learning Management System. Those who complete the program will receive a Mason School of Business certificate of completion.

Registration for Managing Transformation in the Printing Industry is $1,995 for APTech Members. In order to encourage leadership-team participation, additional registrations from the same member company are priced at $1,200.
