RSM's Diploma Programme in General Management was my first general management course - it was a fruitful one! Most of the knowledge we learned in the different modules was new to me. It is a great starting point for professionals who have been appointed manager for the first time, independently of their background. The next step for me is to acquire more knowledge in key areas such as strategy. RSM has really helped me get a feeling of the skills I need to further develop.
The General Management Programme makes new managers go out of their comfort zone. You learn great tools to think strategically, to present, to explore new trends and projects in a constructive manner, and also how to deal with the dynamics of your team. The strategic project and applied research project can make a real difference in my company. And the sessions with my coach were always productive to make more improvements. The practical tips are easy to remember and I can apply them in daily situations at work.
A great learning experience! The Advanced Management and Leadership programme combined new theoretical support and tools with discussions with like-minded professionals. I liked the different approaches within each module, the varied faculty and the focus on three core areas: leadership, finance and strategy. The modular flexibility suited me and it was good to network. Also, RSM’s reputation is appealing and delivered its promise. I’m certain that this will help me in my current role and support my development in the future.
All of our programmes can also be offered and delivered as in-company training to groups of employees from the same organisation. This allows us to develop a programme that focuses on your organisation’s situation and industry.
