Operational excellence is the engine of every high-performing organisation — and doctoral-level operations leaders are positioned to drive transformation at the highest level. This online DBA (3 years, 180 ECTS) from Rushford Business School, Switzerland develops advanced expertise in operations strategy, lean management, process optimisation, and applied research. Graduates pursue roles as Chief Operations Officers, operations research academics, management consultants, and senior transformation advisors.
The programme is structured around a business management track — covering managerial skills, leadership, managerial economics, accounting, and strategic management — combined with an operations specialisation and a doctoral research methodology track. Candidates develop advanced knowledge of lean and six sigma methodologies, capacity planning, service operations, digital operations management, and the intersection of operations strategy with organisational performance.
