2 Manchester Management Development Programme Your Learning Journey Understanding Before each programme starts, all participants are contacted to gain a better understanding of their career paths and current job responsibilities and identify their Opportunity to Shine (OTS). This helps delegates to get their thoughts together ahead of the programme. Design Managers are vital to the continuing success of their organisations. From creating and translating strategy, embedding continuous change and improvement, effectively managing budgets, inspiring and engaging colleagues, through to preparing themselves to step up to senior positions in the near future. The role of a modern manager is crucial and complex. Alliance MBS has designed a high-energy and rigourous programme to help managers develop and really make a difference to their organisations. Programme The programme is focused on accelerated learning for the full five days. It aims to answer the big managerial questions faced on a daily basis, underpinned by the three fundamental skills for success at work: Leadership, Strategy and Commercial Excellence. The programme progresses each delegate from skills in Analysis & Insight through to achieving results through Action & Implementation. Continuation From day one of the programme you are welcomed as a member of our Executive Education network. You will be invited to attend many of our topclass speaker events and networking gatherings across the world, giving you great opportunities to rekindle friendships, discuss the latest business thinking and draw on the knowledge and experience of a growing network of peers. Each delegate brings with them an Opportunity to Shine (OTS) to ensure the programme is focused on real business issues. Collaboration People from all over the world can come together around similar themes and benefit from the opportunity to network and share best practice while they learn in a fabulous thriving melting pot of ideas and inspiration.

3 2-3 The Manchester Management Development Programme The Manchester Management Development programme has been designed to help talented and ambitious managers, from any industry, sector or geography make the transition to be the senior leaders of tomorrow. Delegates will be equipped with skills and knowledge to adapt to the new working world that demands agility, flexibility and collaboration across boundaries. Opportunity to Shine (OTS) Every delegate will work with a line manager on how their experience from the programme will be brought back into the organisation. You will develop this into a piece of work highlighting any challenges you want to overcome, any personal ambitions you want to realise and finally what you want to achieve for your organisation - this is called an Opportunity to Shine. Internal Mentors Each delegate will identify and interact with an internal mentor from their organisation helping to bridge the gap between the insights and ideas explored during the programme and the reality of embedding and driving sustainable change when you get back. The programme offers delegates an excellent opportunity through many innovations in the design and delivery to really make a difference to both them and their organisations. Key features Designed to support the transition from manager to leader Answers the big questions we all ask in our working day Each delegate works on an Opportunity to Shine to ensure relevance and return on investment for their organisation A vibrant mix of delegates from diverse industries and sectors World class faculty, guest speakers, simulations and self-assessments Invitation to the Executive Education Network Conference

4 Manchester Management Development Programme Programme Outline The programme is focused on accelerated learning covering the three most important issues for your success at work: Leadership, Strategy and Commercial Excellence. It s all about working out when to work at the coal-face versus stand back; when to accept and implement direction from above, and when to challenge and create your own vision. Leadership The leadership theme recognises the key issues for ambitious managers: How to develop the skills to balance a strategic perspective with handson with day-to-day issues. How to influence and engage across boundaries and work with colleagues from different areas and functions. How to embed continuous sustainable change while appreciating the wider strategic context. Strategy In an environment where organisations are increasingly buffeted by the disruptive effects of new technology and business innovation, gaining strategic insight is ever more important to commercial survival. The strategy theme develops your insight into: How to balance creating your own strategy with delivering the corporate one. How to translate strategy into your area. How to prepare for a more strategic role in the future. Commercial Excellence Influential and effective managers have to adapt quickly and learn new skills relating to planning and organisation, managing budgets, running successful projects, marketing, operations, finance, HR, governance. The Commercial Excellence theme explores how you will be able to do this.

5 4-5 Programme Agenda The Manchester Management Development Programme concentrates your learning for a full five days. The week is designed around answering the key questions you as an ambitious manager are asking and over your time with us we will transition you from developing analysis and insight right through to achieving action and implementation. Pre-Programme Your learning journey starts even before you arrive. All participants have an orientation conversation with the Programme Director to identify their Opportunity to Shine (OTS). All delegates must identify an internal mentor to support their transition back at work. You will also share with the other delegates a short profile about yourself, via the Virtual Learning Environment, along with your OTS. From looking at the best strategies for influencing and persuading to giving you time for reflection and planning, the Manchester Management Development Programme really will equip you with the confidence to take on a wide range of business issues. The ten big questions: Analysis & Insight 1. Where have I come from? 2. Where am I now? Scoping & Direction 3. Where am I going? 4. How will I get there? 5. How do I make it happen?

Marketing, operations and human resources Investing time into the Pre-Programme activities really does pay off for delegates. You are able to not only develop a strong learning community before everyone comes together but you are also able to shape your own learning journey to get the most out of the programme, ensuring return on investment for both you and your organisation. Dr Nick Clifford Programme Director It s so important that our participants throw themselves into the activities Pre-Programme. What they put in at this early stage will really have a bearing on what they get out of the programme during each module and also back in their workplace. The focus they give to their Opportunity to Shine will influence how relevant and successful the programme is for them. Robert Bieniasz Managing Director, Glancy Fawcett The course really did deliver on these expectations. What I hadn t realised I d gain, was the insights not just from the speakers, but the insights from the delegates themselves. The workshops and open forum style approach allowed for some meaningful, work related discussions.
