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.
