101: Executive Development Course (EDCO)
Program Overview
Now run more than 70 times over the past 20 years, the AIM Executive Development Course has established itself as an outstanding professional development program for managers throughout the region. This year the program has again been updated, refreshed and tightened to reflect contemporary management thinking and practice.
The program will challenge participants in line with modern adult learning principles. The formal sessions are designed to encourage vigorous debate that builds on the pre-existing knowledge and skills of the participants. The highly skilled presenters work with the participants to explore specific current issues and help contextualise their learning to their working environment.
Participants are guided through key topics such as strategic thinking, change management, financial and people management. Whilst we recognise that participants cannot become experts in such a short time, they can certainly identify the important issues on which to focus and ask questions.
Past participants have enjoyed the fact that this program brings a diverse range of topics into a coherent framework that is easily understood. These vital general management skills provide a breadth of understanding through a focus on a common theme that winds through the program through the use of a business simulation. With new content and new learning methods, this program offers an outstanding development opportunity for all managers.
