| Who should attend? |
|
IMPM participants are usually sponsored by their company or
organization and attend as a company table (4-6 managers or executives
from the same organization). Limited spaces are also available
for entrepreneurs and individual participants.
Real managers only, please
The IMPM welcomes competent practicing managers and
executives from all over the world who are open to learning through
new experiences and want to take their leadership skills to the
next level.
Participants are typically +35 years of age with over 15 years’ work
experience, including extensive managerial experience.
Why such criteria? Because the entire IMPM premise is based
on sharing managerial experiences and insights in order for managers
to help each other grow and develop.

Sending a team of practicing managers
Individually, participants benefit from the program but, together,
they learn more about the people in other divisions of the same
company. They share their experiences and gain a deeper understanding
of how the entire organization works. This leads to a greater
sense of cooperation, synergy and shared objectives.
What about entrepreneurs?
With such a strong focus on leadership development, the IMPM
can be beneficial to entrepreneurs and individual participants.

What’s in it for your company?
The IMPM was designed specifically for organizations that want to
build teams of managers able to lead innovation and change.
Because the entire program is based on concrete issues, the participating
companies benefit in many ways:
- participants bring their learning back into the company, through Reflection
Papers, a Venture project and the major paper
written for their Masters Degree. All this can
make investment in the IMPM a high value alternative to bringing
in consultants.
- participants also have an obligation to go back home and share
their learning through formal and informal session exercises, notes,
discussions with colleagues, which results in high-level organizational
development.
- the IMPM can broaden a manager’s international perspective
more efficiently and cost effectively than a temporary assignment
abroad.
In this way, the management development gained
by the individual results in organizational development within
the sponsoring company.

What’s in it for you as an individual?
Participants come out stronger, better able to understand and handle
conflict, and have a new skill set that allows them to lead people
and lead change. They learn how to take a step back when the focus
on an immediate business problem is too close and narrow. In doing
so, they gain a broader perspective that takes into account the many
strategic issues pertaining to culture, the limitations of the analytical
approach and the challenges of co-operation.
All of this results in a more important role within their organization
and new opportunities throughout the rest of their professional career.
In short, you can expect to be changed
– profoundly transformed
– professionally and personally.
Beyond an MBA
| The IMPM is an exciting, stimulating alternative
to the kind of EMBA or MBA offered at even the most prominent
business schools. |
Designed to take managers to a deeper level of understanding than
conventional degree programs, the IMPM focuses on the practice of
management, rather than on business functions.
It is therefore best
suited to experienced managers who wish to move into top management.
The IMPM has also proven to be an extremely rewarding way for MBA
graduates with managerial experience to build on their success and
become more capable, well-rounded leaders.

“I sincerely
believe that the IMPM has been a great learning for me and
it is helping me a lot in managing people and relationships,
which are very crucial to the IT industry. I really enjoyed
doing the course, which is the best so far in my career.”

“Having
gathered my management experience in a small company, the
IMPM for me has clarified many terms like strategy, innovation,
corporate culture, organizational learning, etc. thus giving
me a much clearer picture of what the job of a manager – especially
in a large company – consists of. I think this only
worked because the theory was complemented with field studies,
the practical experience of the participants, who came from
a number of cultural backgrounds and who were on different
seniority levels.”

“We were
attracted by the concept of the IMPM, which focuses on the
real-life practices and challenges of senior managers, as
well as on the mindsets that are required to meet these challenges
and optimize individual and organizational performance.”
