Blackstone Ranch Institute and the Presidio Graduate School in San Francisco are jointly launching a program of executive intensives for some of Presidio's growing number of corporate and entrepreneurial clients. The intensives will be devoted to problem solving and real world solutions to the challenges participants will be facing as they try to change the culture of American business and provide innovative responses to society's environmental challenges. An early goal will be to develop strategies for making the program itself financially sustainable.

Presidio is one of the first business schools in the country to focus on environmental and financial sustainability, and is now a leader in a mainstream movement embraced by some of the world's top companies.

This will be an ongoing relationship. Blackstone Ranch Institute has provided funding for initial faculty gatherings required to develop the curricula for the intensives, and will work closely with Presidio on the development of the future structure of the program.
