About this programme:
The Management Development Programme (MDP) is uniquely designed to build your capacity to lead your organisation into the future. It will challenge your views about management, expand your horizons, and enhance your understanding of the relevance and role of managers in today’s organisations. The MDP will provide you with the opportunity to refocus, to immerse yourself in the latest thinking about best practice in management, and provide you with personal and professional tools to strengthen your effectiveness as a manager and leader.
The programme provides a global context for enhancing awareness and organisation wide thinking, from the challenges of leading change and transformation, to working more effectively in uncertain environments, and harnessing technology to ensure that systems and procedures are optimised.
A key feature of the programme is the Personal Development Plan (PDP) which each delegate undertakes, and which runs the length of the programme. The PDP is underpinned by a team of executive and management coaches, who work one on one with delegates to develop competencies. This personal learning journey ensures that delegates have the opportunity to understand leadership theories and explore personal mastery, supported by the creative development of a culture of performance and execution in the workplace.
