EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
Procter & Gamble Cohort
"We have a concept that we are trying to operate like start-ups essentially playing a GM role. I was able to apply directly those conversations I’ve had in my group…manufacturing and strategy choices into the business. It was directly relevant to the work we were doing.”

Overview
Welcome to the ELP
Congratulations on your nomination to the Executive Leadership Program (ELP). Procter & Gamble's investment in your career acceleration is a clear indicator that you are a valued senior leader! We have designed this program to engage competencies that are critical for enterprise leaders to excel. Accordingly, our program delves into perspectives of executive leadership, tenants of enterprise leaders, and how corporations create winning strategies.
The program is fast-paced and at times intense. However, we have designed the program so that you will be able to get the most out of the program while leading your current leadership responsibilities. To aid in this aspect we have employed the following three major learning modalities:
WYN Academy On-Demand (WYN360.com)
At WYN360.com you will have the opportunity to complete the content portions within our on-demand learning environment (WYN360.com) at your own pace. Here you will engage videos of some of the most dynamic senior leaders, listen to culturally appropriate cases studies, and provide insights from your subjective experiences as a commercial leader. Your cohort will then bring those stories and challenges to the live classroom environment.
Executive Roundtables - WHOVA Classroom
At specific times during the month, the entire cohort will get tother for 2-3 hours to address case competitions, experience executive encounters with C-Suite leaders, conduct executive simulations, and formulate solutions to the current subject matter. These roundtables are historically high-spirited and provide real-time value to your personal brand and impact on your team's performance.
The Capstone – Executive Simulation
Perhaps the most exciting part of this learning journey is the capstone. Here we put your team in the role of the General Manager. You will have all the tools and information that allows you to drive your team to commercial dominance over your competition. The winning team will get to replay their strategic approach among a group of P&G executives and special guests. This exposure is simply invaluable.
The next section will provide a more granular overview of the program. In preparation for the program, you will need to sign up for two platforms that will give you access to the on-demand platform and the virtual classroom. You will be able to find this information within the onboarding tab.
