LAMP Learning Experience

LAMP is an in-depth course of interrelated topics, providing over 100 hours of learning. The instructional approach emphasizes team interaction, problem solving, and personal reflection and peer coaching. LAMP carefully selects each study topic based on the immediate and practical needs of participants. Faculty, guest speakers, and case studies offer timely, relevant and specific application to the unique environment of companies operating in a modern technology and global marketplace.

Historically, more than one-third of LAMP's graduates are promoted to broader levels of responsibility within their companies soon after completing the program. Virtually every participating company reports immediate improvement in managerial performance as a result of graduates applying the concepts taught in LAMP. Furthermore, the dynamic interaction between participants throughout the program builds valuable long-term relationships. Graduates have special access to UCSD Extension career development efforts, as well as alumni events.

Part of the LAMP experience is outdoor teambuilding activities.

Program Format

LAMP is organized in two modules of learning workshops:

• Module I: Foundation principles in managing people (PDF)
• Module II: Managing people via projects and processes (PDF)

The two modules build upon one another in sequence. Each series module explores issues relevant to your success as a manager. Comprised of approximately ten separate class meetings, each series is taught by a network of subject matter experts. Information, tools and models are presented in class with an emphasis on immediate and direct application at work. In addition, selected sessions allow participants to focus on how principles of project, product or process management are applied within their specific industry. Lastly, LAMP draws heavily on the collective experience of the participants themselves. Students work in teams to apply concepts, examine case studies, and implement out-of-class project assignments.
