Programme Overview
Prospering in a challenging and fluctuating climate requires strategic vision and innovation. The Diploma in Advanced Management Performance is a powerful and transformational learning experience that explores best management practices and organisational strategies enabling participants to make the most of their potential.
The programme incorporates the key skills of strategic thinking, marketing insight, financial acumen, balanced decision-making and personal impact. In addition to providing an in-depth insight into the drivers of business success through exposure to concepts and techniques across a broad range of management disciplines, the programme integrates a wide range of real-world examples through case studies, discussion, reading and reflection.
The combination of theory and real-world application with an immersive learning experience makes this a very practically-oriented programme. Participants will return to their organisation with the necessary analytical skills and strategic toolkit for improving short-term and long-term performance
