EXECUTIVE AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AT THE INTERSECTION OF TECHNOLOGY, BUSINESS AND EVOLVING SKILLS NEEDS

In this fast evolving and complex world, organisations are faced with the realities of rapid digital transformation, changing markets and a constant need to prepare and upskill for the future. Having the knowledge and ability to progress with the right technologies, strategies, systems and capabilities is paramount.

HOW CAN IFM ENGAGE HELP YOUR ORGANISATION?

Our custom programmes and short courses are carefully designed to deliver the results organisations need by developing your people to ‘do’ things as well as ‘know’ things. They range from highly customised programmes covering multiple subjects and skills to short courses on a specific topic.

IfM Engage offerings are designed by education experts and taught by world-leading academics, specialists and practice experts. We have proven tools and approaches to help you do what you need to do – such as designing or developing new products and services, managing innovation and technology, optimising global supply chains or developing the talented individuals in your organisation.

We can work with you to find the most appropriate offering to address your organisational needs, whether you are an industrial or technology-based company, government department or organisation working on complex strategic challenges. We can also provide consultancy to help you think through your organisations capability and skills development needs – we understand the industrial and manufacturing world.

“IfM have enabled us to develop confident and energised talent, whilst at the same time make rapid progress on real business issues. These FUEL projects are embedded within our business now and are showcasing the quality and relevance of this world-class programme.”

Rik Robarts, Executive Intake Sponsor, Atos

“For the MTM programme, this offering is a differentiator. It allows us to offer our students very engaging teaching from leading academics in an internationally unique learning environment.”

Øyvind Bjørgum, Associate Professor at NTNU

“The Cambridge module is an excellent complement to our EMBA curriculum, offering in-depth, practical tools in innovation and entrepreneurship from a fresh and different perspective. It emphasises real-world application over theory—something business leaders value. The programme is exceptionally well-designed and managed, with impressive attention to detail and responsiveness throughout.”

Terence Tsai, Associate Professor of Strategy and International Business, CEIBS
