Develop Your Business

Participating organisations will benefit through their managers:

• Enhanced understanding of strategic issues and core management disciplines, including marketing and finance
• Immediate application of newly acquired knowledge and skills
• Tackling key, current issues within their organisation, as part of action learning or ongoing projects.
• Broadened network of contacts in a range of other organisations
• Being more confident, and more motivated leaders

Who we Develop

The programme is designed for managers with "top team" potential, who have significant practical management experience. Participants will typically be functional, divisional or business unit managers who need to develop a broader understanding of the organisation and business management.

This programme will provide much of the range of input found in the Strathclyde MBA, but without the depth of study or time commitment necessary for that qualification.
