MSCI offers Strategic Metals Management program

Rolling Meadows, Ill.-based Metals Service Center Institute (MSCI), a metals industry trade association, offers the Strategic Metals Management program for metals industry CEOs facing such issues as a lack of skilled workers, concern over succession planning, and “building a strong bench” so that the company can continue successfully when current management retires.

Developed in partnership with Washington University’s Olin School of Business, the 18-month program requires participants to commit to five weeks of on-campus learning spaced throughout that time period.

“[The course] begins with strategic organization and leadership, which are two different sides of the same coin. Module 2 covers market focus, followed by operational excellence, accretive growth, and coming full circle to leadership,” explained Samuel Chun, Washington University’s assistant dean executive programs. Class size is capped at 40.
