How your organisation will benefit
Your sponsoring organisation will benefit enormously from your dedicated research on a major, possibly critical, organisational issue.
Your cutting-edge research could have a major impact on the organisation's management thinking, approach, processes and profitability within two years.
The structure of the Cranfield Executive Doctorate means your organisation will benefit from your research at all stages throughout the doctorate – the practical bias providing the sponsoring company with valuable, effective insights.
Our focus is on ensuring that your contribution to practice is not only of relevance to your organisation, but capable of being generalised to and disseminated in practitioner and academic communities.
"The benefits of the Cranfield Executive Doctorate derive from the high quality of the faculty in terms of teaching and supervision. My company saw the benefits of my research within 18 months and the impact of my learning greatly influences the way I now identify and deal with business issues."

Managing Director, Cerulean, 2006 Alumnus
“Cranfield’s mantra is Knowledge into Action. The faculty on the course ask you not only where you will make your unique contribution to management knowledge, but where your contribution to practice will be. Just today we had a session on how to impact practice with the findings from our thesis. Two of the three members of my supervisory panel are leading a global study with the world's largest enterprise software company. Knowledge into Action isn't a tag-line--it's a reality."
