Programme Overview
For many executives who have already achieved success as a functional expert, stepping up to a wider management role can be a difficult and potentially risky transition. You will need a comprehensive toolkit in order to make this transition from specialist to generalist a successful one.
The Diploma in Advanced Management Performance (AMP) will give executives the confidence to manage the complexity you will be facing as you develop from a specialist into a generalist. In short, AMP's unique tools and insights will prepare executives to succeed in this most difficult of transitions, the point in a manager's career when they need to quickly expand their knowledge of business.
It will give executives the solid foundation to be able to go back to work able to ask the right questions and challenge your teams to think differently. The combination of theory and real-world application with an immersive learning experience makes this a very practical programme. Participants will return to their organisation with the necessary analytical skills and strategic toolkit for improving both short-term and long-term performance.
The diploma programme is demanding and participants should be free of other responsibilities on the days of the workshops. 100% attendance is required.
