In Feb 2012, the Kellogg School of Management unveiled its new strategic vision for the coming decade, called Envision Kellogg. The plan, announced by Kellogg Dean Sally Blount, contains many moving pieces, including an expanding global footprint and a complete overhaul of the school’s MBA curriculum. Most notably, Kellogg plans to shrink its two-year MBA program class size by as much as 25%, and double or even triple the size of its one-year MBA program.
There are few, if any, American one-year MBA programs as prominent the one Kellogg offers. (Among top-ranked schools, Columbia’s accelerated January-intake class is the most similar.) Recognizing this unique asset and the apparent growing popularity of accelerated MBA programs around the world, Blount is doubling down on the one-year program in an effort to further stand out vs. its U.S. competition. Its two-year full-time enrollment, which currently stands at about 1,115, may drop as low as 850. Meanwhile, the school’s one-year program class size could grow from approximately 80 students to as many as 250.

As part of the announcement, Kellogg has published its new Envision Kellogg website, which provides more strategic background on the school’s announcement and provides more specifics about the plan. According to the site:
Note the school’s own use of bold for the line including the phrase “Collaboration Economy”… That’s the new phrase Kellogg will be pushing to promote its view of how 21st Century business will work. Just as the school’s new emphasis on its one-year program builds on an existing strength for the school, its emphasis on teamwork (embedded in its talk about the “Collaboration Economy”) builds on another core strength of the school, which is training leaders who get things done through teamwork and collaboration.
Kellogg will also aggressively overhaul its curriculum, focusing on four main “impact areas” that the school has identified through its own research and with help from consulting firms Booz & Co., Boston Consulting Group and Deloitte:
Much has been made of the fact that Booth has stolen Kellogg’s momentum among top-ranked Chicago-based MBA programs, so it’s no surprise that Dean Blount is moving boldly. She’s off to a fast start, but it will be years before we know the full impact of the plan she announced this week.
