This program in two parts is for executives who have recently taken the reins of a company or a major profit center, or will soon take on such a position. Participants improve their competencies in strategic business management, market positioning and management of financial results.

Concept

The career jump from a functional management position, from being a "high potential" manager or specialist, to a position with general management responsibility is significant and requires preparation. Entrepreneurial skills are required: more leadership, less execution; discovery of new ventures, identifying and seizing opportunities; developing business models; tracking profit potentials; crafting and implementing strategic concepts, inspiring and motivating coworkers. Being successful in the new position takes more than diligent, timely execution of orders. Results achieved become the sole measure of a career; excuses for missed goals hardly interest anyone. The responsible person will always be measured on outcome.

The Strategic Business Management Program is a valuable support for this transition. The course focuses on two main subject areas. In Unit 1, participants learn how to define and implement crystal-clear, concise strategies with high probability of success. Unit 2 enhances competencies of successful financial management. Participants learn the essential methods and techniques for transforming market accomplishments into economic success and actively optimizing results.
