OVERVIEW

Many functionally oriented employees are routinely promoted into management positions. As such, they need to stop doing what they used to do and start doing new things, such as leading people and managing resources and processes. This skills-set requires exposure to new fields of knowledge and new competencies. It is the case for all industries, both private and public. The Management Development Program (MDP) has been designed for junior and middle managers from diverse business and public sector environments. It can also be customized to meet the unique requirements of specific organizations and even industries.

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND MAIN OBJECTIVE

The program aims to equip junior and middle managers with the competence required to implement their organizations’ strategies. It is aimed at developing the skills of junior and middle managers in the different fields of management to ensure managers do not perform their own management functions in isolation. The course will address skills in the fields of general management (including developing basic business plans and a basic business model), economics, people management, financial management, and marketing.
