Advanced Management Programme

[Detailed programme]
Enhance your strategic leadership
Are you ready to take the next step in your management
career? Would you like to broaden your expertise in strategy and related
management domains? Do you need refreshing, in-depth insight into your
leadership role?
The Advanced Management Programme is a training programme for senior managers
who have a sound basis in management and strategic experience and want to
enlarge their frame of reference with respect to expanding their
leadership role and enriching their strategic
thinking.
Who should not miss this opportunity?
You are a manager with a sound basis in management and strategic
experience. You want the opportunity to expand your leadership role, increasing
your impact on the organisation's directions and the steps taken toward it.
Your level of managerial experience and the
specific challenges or needs you are facing at a particular
moment in your career are the two main criteria for choosing the management
programme that is right for you.
Programme design & content
The Advanced Management Programme consists of nine 2-day residential
modules, spread over 13 months. The scheme gives an
overview of the different themes within the programme

Detailed programme
The Vlerick approach
To ensure a practical and action-oriented approach, case studies are used as
the primary − but not exclusive − vehicle for teaching. You are challenged to
deal with real-life situations, apply the appropriate concepts and techniques,
decide upon a course of action, and discuss your recommendations in class,
allowing you to exchange experiences with peers and experts. To maximise
knowledge transfer and learning effects, participants are often required to
prepare a module before coming to class and, for some topics, a take-home
assignment is required.
What's next?
After this programme, you will have:
- Deepened your insight into your own leadership role, leveraging your impact
on your team and the organisation. (Personal development)
- Enhanced your strategic thinking (and acting) on two levels (Strategic
development):
- Integrated complementary management disciplines − such as marketing,
finance, management control and HR − within the strategic framework. (Functional
and Strategic development)
Successful completion of the programme is rewarded by an official certificate
from the School and grants you the unique opportunity to join the enriching
Vlerick Leuven Gent Alumni network.
