2 Participant Testimonials Studying Strategic HR at the IMI allowed me the time to step outside my own organisation and objectively view our processes while critically reviewing how HR was supporting the company s strategy. The Strategic HR programme equipped me with the tools to successfully articulate HR concepts and to make valuable contributions at senior executive level. I would recommend this programme for HR individuals who want to take their careers a step further and contribute at senior level. Patricia Conlon, Human Resources Manager Propylon Limited I was unsure if I was making the right course choice. However, having completed the programme I am truly amazed at the breadth and depth of knowledge that I have gained and the fact that it was delivered in such a focused way. Strategic HRM is truly cutting edge and an essential tool for any business, whether your business is in a period of decline or growth, HR professionals or business owners will benefit from this programme. Sarah Jane Barrett Lexcell Consultants The way in which people are managed, motivated and deployed, is key to shaping a company s business strategy. This programme has enabled & highlighted the tools required for a planned and coherent framework, which reflects Car Trawler s business strategy.
