Eliminate management blind spots
Take your business skills to the next level
Master strategy, management, marketing, and finance in our 8-week live online mini MBA, featuring 30+ real-world case studies for practical, hands-on learning.
Next cohort starts
- February 7, 2025
A modern alternative to a traditional MBA
In a recent study by PeakPath, senior HR leaders agreed that even though many specialists need business upskilling, they simply don't have the time or resources to do it.
A traditional MBA can set you back at least $100,000, while taking valuable time from your day-to-day work and hurting your relationships in the process.
We have developed an alternative approach: The Pareto MBA is a mini MBA that takes 6-7 hours per week during 8 weeks and fits your busy schedule, while significantly boosting your problem-solving skills and decision-making toolkit.
90 people have completed the program since its inception in 2023, giving it a Net Promotor Score of +94. Several of them have gotten promoted or started new businesses, and one even bought himself a factory (!). Our participants have also seen tangible business outcomes in their current jobs while still in the program – one of them saved $50,000 in costs as a direct result of one of our classes.
To summarize some of the benefits of our program, you will get:
- Immediate job impact: Our case-based learning approach, led by industry experts, ensures that lessons can be directly applied in your daily work.
- Continuous learning and confidence: The design of our eight modules and our small cohort size of 15-20 people make learning more effective, boosting your confidence in navigating complex business challenges.
- Networking and opportunities: Join a diverse and collaborative Alumni community, expand your network and unlock new opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and business ventures.
- Career advancement: Armed with a comprehensive skillset, you'll not only stand out among your peers but also advance confidently in your career, positioning yourself for leadership roles..
Unlock your full potential
Learn strategy, management, marketing and finance from 30+ real-world case studies during 8 weeks.
Led by entrepreneurs Jens Bäckbom and Mathias Eklöf, our 8-week live online program gives you a Pareto MBA diploma upon graduation.
