TESTING AND TRAINING OF CANDIDATES FOR MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Executive Summary

This program is essential to gain a holistic and integrated understanding of the increasingly important role of Leadership and Management functions in an organization.  Lean organisations, flat structures and international benchmark have forced certain changes on what is expected from the post incumbent.

For this reason the program spends time on matching the learner's paradigm to the international paradigm.  Based on this understanding the learner's will then relate their environment to each other so that some bench mark guiding principles can be introduced to create a common paradigm and understanding. Practical experiences, simulation, exciting uplifting and humorous video clips will enhance the learning experience.

A Business is a systemic organism, and is influenced by its environment. It is important to make the learner identify, understand and apply the legislative, social, economic imperatives to enhance organisational stability and performance.

From the personal behaviour and competencies of the learner it is important to expand those competencies to the organisation.  Resources and assets are entrusted to the financial executive authorities. It has to be managed productively, and the executive authorities must create a best practice environment in their organisation.
