Lead. Launch. Transform.
The Andrews University Centers for Organizational Resilience and Excellence (AUCORE) exists to empower leaders, organizations, and communities to thrive through purposeful innovation and applied learning. Guided by the values of faith, integrity, and impact, AUCORE is the university’s platform for bridging academic insight with real-world execution.
At the core of everything we do is CITE—Culture, Innovation, Technology, and Enterprise—our signature framework for problem-solving, leadership, and growth. Whether we’re delivering executive seminars in emerging markets, accelerating startups, or guiding second-stage companies through scale, every AUCORE program is designed to cultivate cultural awareness, spark innovation, leverage the right technologies, and build resilient enterprises that last.
AUCORE offers a suite of practical, high-impact products designed to equip leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations for real-world success. From our flagship GEI Executive Seminars to startup sprints, peer advisory roundtables, and consulting labs, each product is grounded in our CITE framework and built to deliver clarity, strategy, and lasting value.
redefining executive leadership for the AI era.
The Global Executive Institute (GEI) is our premier program—an immersive seminar where global executives confront real scenarios shaped by AI, autonomy, and systemic disruption. Through the CITE framework, leaders leave with playbooks designed for resilience, innovation, and immediate impact.
Two weeks. One idea. A venture built for disruption.
This evening accelerator compresses venture design into 14 days. Unlike standard bootcamps, StartUp Sprint applies AUCORE’s CITE framework and AI validation tools, ensuring every pitch is market-tested and innovation-ready.
Where Growth-Minded CEOs Grow Together.
Confidential peer advisory groups for second-stage business owners, designed to foster strategic insight, leadership growth, and peer accountability.
No theory—just growth engineered for the future.

The only lab where future leaders solve today’s problems.
Forget case studies. Our labs embed real companies into coursework—students and faculty co-create strategies, prototypes, and digital tools for live businesses. Organizations get innovation at low cost, students get unmatched applied experience.
Boards that govern with integrity—and adapt to AI disruption.
Beyond governance basics, LBD Labs future-proof boards by integrating ethics, technology foresight, and resilience metrics. The result: boards that don’t just oversee, but actively safeguard and position organizations in a volatile, tech-shaped landscape.
The seminar where ambition meets acceleration.
Designed for MBA students and rising professionals, LDI goes beyond soft skills. Participants master communication, AI-infused strategy, and enterprise design, emerging ready to climb the corporate ladder in tomorrow’s economy.
More than consulting—co-designing bold, AI-ready business models.
With 2–3 AUCORE faculty embedded, Strategy Studio replaces reports with real-time design. We combine systems audits, digital foresight, and the CITE methodology to help organizations invent—not just improve—their future models.
Cut the noise. Fix the system. Scale with clarity.
Unlike consultants who only identify issues, AUCORE faculty deliver actionable, tech-aligned solutions. From workflow automation to governance gaps, the Systems Audit Lab pinpoints and resolves the bottlenecks blocking scalability.
