Management Training Courses: FAQ
Q: How does the executive education work?
A:
- Each participant has an advisor as opposed to a teacher. The advisor's role is to help facilitate the participant's professional learning and development. In part, the advisor serves as a guide, coach or mentor. Sometimes the advisor will validate participants management thinking and sometimes s/he will act as an opposition party who will critique, question and debate their management decision-making. In either case, this is done to help the participants test and develop their critical thinking, decision-making methods and communication skills.
- All courses are a combination of seminars and presentation materials. They provide a summary of the essential concepts, a selection of practical case-based readings, and project work with emphasis on critical thinking, decision-making and managerial planning.
- There are no Q&A tests, instead the participant is assigned a real-world application project such as developing a new strategy or a business plan for a company of participant's choice.
