"The Drucker Difference: What's Next for Knowledge Workers?

Management legend Peter Drucker coined the phrase "knowledge worker" 64 years ago in his book Landmarks of Tomorrow. Drucker was always a visionary when it came to what is over the horizon for society. Who better than the experts at Claremont Graduate University’s Drucker School of Management—its faculty and alumni—to share their insights about what knowledge workers—those in tech, marketing, retail, and other sectors—should do today to improve their lives and professional success.

A little from Peter Drucker.

What is your something new?

Recap: Drucker goes to the Bay!

Last week, the Drucker Advisory Board had their fall board meeting in the Bay Area. Workshopping a new program with Katharina Pick, learning about managing transitions from Jeremy Hunter and Josh Goode, and helping to define Drucker + societal impact with Kristine Kawamura were just a few of the activities they participated in over the course of two days. They even got a special tour of the San José Museum of Art! We are looking forward to all of the great work to come from this meeting.

After all that work, they ended on a high note with an alumni mixer hosted by advisory board members Saori Casey and Andrew Casey.

Join us online this Thursday, September 29 at 1:00 pm PDT as we hear from 2021 Distinguished Alumni Award recipient, Angela Lalas, MBA ’13.

Current students, prospective students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of CGU are welcome to attend.

Angela is the Executive Vice President for Finance / Chief Financial Officer for Loma Linda University Health, a post she has held since 2018. In her role, she oversees and provides strategic leadership on the financial operations, information services, revenue cycle and payor contracting for the organization’s six hospitals and eight schools.

Merging career interests with a bigger purpose is a common theme amongst our students. Take MA in Arts Management candidate Aubre Hill, the new operational manager at Skid Row Arts Alliance.

"Skid Row Arts Alliance is a collaborative of five nonprofits and groups serving the Skid Row community with dynamic art programming, professional development, resources, community, healing, and advocacy. When I met this incredible group of art and social justice leaders last spring as part of our Cross Sector course, I knew I wanted to be involved. In my role, I'll be building the behind the scenes infrastructure to support each organization, their collaborations, and this incredible community. Grateful to be putting my grassroots experience from decades of art community building and my amazing education at CGU to work serving in bigger ways."

Congrats, Aubre!

Peter Drucker: Discern the Future That Has Already Happened

This Psychology Today article unpacks Peter Drucker's idea of "the future that has already happened," a major theme in the latter half of his career and an approach we adopt in our teaching at the Drucker School.

Peter Drucker: Discern the Future That Has Already Happened Turn changes into opportunities.

Let's hear it for our incredible career strategy team and the value they provided to new students at various Drucker Orientation activities! 👏Here's to kicking off the fall semester .

Fun fact for all of our alumni out there: Did you know you have lifelong access to the Drucker School Career Strategy Office?

Yohanes Kurniawan is seeing the return on investment as a student in our Flex MBA program.

Earlier this year, Yohanes was promoted from manufacturing and logistics supervisor to location procurement manager at Siemens.

How has the Flex MBA program prepared him for career growth?

"... by pushing me to have a growth mindset, the desire to learn and pursue knowledge, and by challenging me to become a better person. Through courses such as Drucker Philosophy, Effective Executive, and Practice of Self Mastery, I gained a deeper understanding of how to recognize and incorporate my strengths, build relationships with others, and leverage influence on others to overcome weaknesses."
