• Early career success often comes through specialization in a single functional domain, but further advancement frequently requires the development of a more general set of skills and a more comprehensive, multi-functional perspective. In short, future success requires an ability to think, act, and lead differently. The goal of the programme is to smooth and accelerate this transition of the professional into general management.
• The Programme combines skill building — in general management, strategy, finance, and leadership—with the exploration of new theories and practices, as well as exposure to critical new perspectives.
• It helps participants select, develop, and retain employees; build strong teams; and position their businesses for growth and sustained profitability. On a personal level, the program enables participants to examine and rethink their most basic assumptions about management and leadership. It is a time for self-reflection and personal discovery — an interlude that help participants refine their judgment, enhance their skill set, and increase their confidence.
• Participants return to their organizations with the analytical skills needed to identify, frame, and solve complex business problems, the confidence to make important business decisions and the leadership skills needed to drive fundamental change in their organizations and industries.
• Through a tightly integrated structure with both on and off campus modules, the programme provides an action-oriented and collaborative learning environment. The case-based curriculum presents a holistic picture of leadership with an emphasis on practical knowledge and personalized learning.
