It provides an opportunity to understand strategy and to develop strategic thinking conceptually.
During the lectures, business case analyses are conducted with foreign lecturers, and in small teams, the managers prepare the Strategy evaluation project of the chosen organization. It aims to develop the ability to make interdisciplinary business decisions to successfully implement the organization's vision, mission and goals using strategic management principles.
A Strategic Assessment of your chosen organization is created by the management team.
To help prepare for a leadership role, nationally and internationally, and in particular, to lead in a multi-stakeholder environment. This study module is designed to stimulate and help implement tangible changes in the behaviour and perception of the study participants as leaders.
The leadership module is based on self-analysis and feedback. In the module, we use non-traditional learning methods such as personal leadership research and individual coaching sessions, feedback from your study mates, a leadership reflection journal and the resulting TEDx-style talk. Thanks to them, you will get to know yourself better as a manager, develop your competencies, gain confidence and learn to lead an organization even more effectively.
In the module, we aim to create an exceptional environment that encourages sharing personal experiences and learning how to provide and receive feedback from other managers at the same level, which is still a relatively rare phenomenon in a typical business environment. A year-round group of leaders learning together becomes not only students but also each other's teachers, which many describe as an invaluable experience.
Leadership project for your organization.
This new course is created by the ISM Executive School in partnership with the highly acknowledged EADA Business School in Barcelona. The course is dedicated to CEOs, board members, and executives who seek to become certified board members and gain the newest skills in effective organizational management. The subject covers the latest theory and practical experience and equips executives with a solid framework of corporate governance. We invited top lecturers and experienced board members from world best’s business schools who will teach such topics as “Dealing with Difficult Times”, “Board Evaluation”, “Boardroom dynamics”, “Shareholders and stakeholders” – to name just a few.
Participants will engage in lectures and case studies prepared by the leading business schools – Harvard, INSEAD, and IMD. They will immerse themselves in once in a lifetime experience by studying at EADA Business School, which excellence for executive education is recognized by the Financial Time Executive Education Ranking every year. The course curriculum combines the key principles of corporate governance, compares governance models across different regions, and explores the intersection of ethics, leadership, and social responsibility in governance. While the simulation exercise invites critically analyze what factors affect the board–CEO relationship, what control systems can boards use to ensure the CEO is appropriately focused, or what role can/should the board play to ensure goals are achieved?
Throughout the subject, which is allocated 15 ECTS credits, executives will be able to consider a comprehensive personal action plan to apply corporate governance best practices within their organizations. After completion of the discipline, participants will acquire a Corporate Governance Certificate issued by ISM and EADA, signifying their status as certified experts in the field. Students will participate in a practical board simulation exercise that prepares them to tackle real-world governance challenges with innovative solutions. As a result, they will have up-to-date knowledge of operating models of boards.
Instead of the final master's thesis, an international consulting project, PAR, is taking place to test one's leadership on a global scale and apply the knowledge gained in studies in assessing the challenges of an unfamiliar organization.
Study participants can participate in a business consulting project in Johannesburg and Cape Town (Republic of South Africa). During the visit, students work in DIFFERENT teams AND organizations - together with the leaders of the PAR organization, they clarify the main challenges; TOGETHER with the team, they prepare a change plan, which they present to the organization at the end of the visit.
This task helps to develop creativity and determine the essence of the problem to make decisions. The knowledge of strategy, business, management, change and innovation management acquired during the year is applied.
During the consulting project, managers learn to listen and hear other team members, change their reactive behavior to proactive, are able to identify strategic problems in organizations of different sectors and provide them with proposals for change management.
Preparation and presentation of a strategic change plan to managers or the board of an organization operating in PAR.
