This program will help you be more strategic in your decision-making and in responding effectively to the issues facing your organization. Discover business models and tools you can put to use right now to differentiate your business and drive your success.

GET READY TO TACKLE YOUR COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE CHALLENGES HEAD ON!

An asset for you and your organization

Put your learning into practice with an integration project. Choose an issue specific to your organization (development of a new product line, rationalization of operating costs, etc.) and apply the concepts taught. You'll receive one hour of personalized coaching to guide you.

The successful completion of this program entitles you to a digital certificate. These credentials are trusted, secure, verifiable, and sustainable.

GOALS

The three goals of the program are to:

  1. Jumpstart the thought process with regard to key issues at stake for your business.
  2. Update your selection of management solutions to maximize your leadership skills.
  3. Zero in on areas where you wish to have a decisive impact in your organization.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

  • You have five to ten years of management-level experience and are familiar with the core functions of your organization. You wish to gain a better understanding of key concepts, analytical tools and best practices.
  • Over time, you have developed a solid “big picture” of your organization and you hope to further broaden this view to get a better handle on critical performance issues.
  • You want to build on the knowledge you acquired through MBA Essentials.
  • You are interested in acquiring MBA-level tools, but you lack the scheduling flexibility at this point in your career to make that happen.

Note that if your management experience has not yet allowed you to gain an in-depth understanding of the main operational aspects of your organization, we recommend you take MBA Essentials before enrolling in this program.

SPECIAL FEATURES

  • Refresh your management toolbox.
  • Strengthen your knowledge of best practices in the business world.
  • Broaden your expertise and fine-tune your ability to work strategically and make complex decisions.
  • Consolidate your core management capabilities to make a greater contribution to your organization and increase your value.
  • Reinforce your leadership skills.
  • Apply new knowledge to your organizational realities.
  • Expand your network of contacts.

Spread out over eight days and one evening, this hands-on program explores a wide range of themes to help you be better prepared to overcome the main performance issues affecting today’s organizations.
