Previously known as the Invited MBA, The 12-Week MBA is available in 12- and 3-week course formats to both individuals and enterprise audiences. This transformation aligns with the release of The 12-Week MBA book by Abilitie’s Bjorn Billhardt and Nathan Kracklauer, now available.

“(The 12-Week MBA) stands alone as a high-value and dynamic virtual learning program.”
“We now know that all learning is social, and… we still need to get together, and interact socially to enable growth.”
“While traditional MBAs are still desired for many… digital alternatives are gaining momentum.”
“The (12-Week MBA) gives students the power to take control of their own learning.”
“The Abilitie team was able to leverage its industry expertise to create a mini-MBA program.”
Instead of investing significant time and money in a traditional MBA program, VP of Product Luke Owings talked to NerdWallet about mini-MBAs.
