Organizations that invest in leadership development initiatives consistently report greater innovation and more sustainable growth.

โ€œThe pace of change in the workforce has made transformational leadership table stakes. Leading through change requires learning through change,โ€ said Bijal Shah, CEO of Guild. โ€œWhartonโ€™s executive education programs bring academic rigor and real-world relevance that will help leaders build adaptability, inspire their teams, and drive business impact. Together, weโ€™re ensuring companies can build from within at every level to meet the challenges of constant change.โ€

Wharton Onlineโ€™s offerings are designed for busy professionals seeking to immediately apply new insights in their roles. Leaders gain access to faculty-taught programs that translate cutting-edge research into practical tools for building organizational resilience.

Wharton Online programs now available in the Guild Learning Marketplace include:

  • Digital Leadership Certificate Program
  • Leadership in the 21st Century
  • AI for Business
  • Leadership in the Age of Digital Disruption
  • Removing Barriers to Change in Organizations

โ€œWharton Onlineโ€™s offerings empower leaders to navigate disruption with confidence, translate insights into action, and rally their organizations to thrive in todayโ€™s dynamic environment,โ€ said Eric Hamberger, Managing Director, Wharton Online. โ€œWe are proud to join Guildโ€™s Learning Marketplace to expand access to leadership education that helps companies cultivate resilience and unlock long-term growth.โ€

These programs are designed to equip leaders with trust-building strategies, data-driven decision frameworks, and tools to drive innovation and sustainable growth. Delivered online by world-renowned Wharton faculty, the offerings combine academic excellence with practical, actionable insights.
