Professional Development

Ranked in the Top 40 business schools worldwide for the quality of its executive education programs (London Financial Times, 2003), MGSM is a leading Australian business school, providing excellence in management education and professional development both in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.

MGSM's open enrolment executive education programs are designed for those managers constrained by ever-increasing work pressures, or those who prefer not to make the ongoing commitment to postgraduate study.

The programs are designed to deliver contemporary and relevant professional development options that enable participants to build on earlier learning and current experience. They also aim to provide professional development opportunities for executives seeking new insights, reflection and challenge.

Constantly evolving, MGSM's open enrolment, executive education programs are innovative, practical and focused on improving bottom-line results.

MGSM's suite of executive education programs can be broadly categorised into six business disciplines:

General Management & Strategy: providing professional development options for managers at differing levels of seniority and experience, from those seeking grounding in general management to those assuming strategic responsibilities within their organisations.

Leadership & Change: offering a range of executive education programs to assist high-potential managers in the development of essential leadership and change management skills.

Individual Development: a suite of professional development programs designed to develop the personal and managerial skills of managers who have been earmarked for more senior roles within their organisation.

Finance: executive education programs that introduce practical approaches to the application of financial decision-making tools, resulting in sound and active involvement in financial analysis at all levels.

Marketing: professional development marketing programs draw together and examine a selection of the most contemporary marketing approaches as issues.

Operations: introduces leading-edge business process methods, tools and techniques, including the effective management of business process flows, with a focus on achieving improved bottom-line results.

The design and delivery of customised professional development programs that focus on the specific needs of corporate clients are also a key activity at MGSM.

Areas of specialisation include general management, strategic management, finance, marketing, people management, personal effectiveness, leadership, communication and negotiation, operations, innovation and change management.

MGSM also offers company-specific programs that provide organisations with an opportunity for their employees to gain accreditation towards MGSM's postgraduate qualification while also benefiting from a leading-edge professional development opportunity.
