Business leaders can now learn cutting-edge techniques in strategic management from new programmes about to be launched in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Knowing how to read internal and external strategic signals can set a company apart in a competitive environment. In the Strategy Programme, award-winning presenters from Canada's Queen's School of Business will demonstrate how to implement the correct strategy, challenging conventional thinking and helping to take a company's strategy from old school to cutting-edge.
Queen's School of Business is based in Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, where Canada's first commerce programme was launched in 1919. The school delivers programmes across the UAE through the Dubai International Financial Centre and in cooperation with the Centre of Excellence for Applied Research and Training in Abu Dhabi.
Those working in the Gulf region's business world benefit by learning the latest strategic tools and techniques, improving their ability to manage, change and build commitment to new strategic directions. Organisations will benefit by introducing proven strategy development tools and benchmarking against best practices of leading companies. "We challenge our participants to think about what their organisations need to do to be successful in the future — and we help them find the answers," said Tom Anger, executive director, Queen's School of Business.
The three-day programme is presented by Dr Elspeth Murray, associate professor of Strategy and Management Information systems, and Dr Peter Richardson, professor of Strategic Management, both of Queen's School of Business. The school already provides business education direct to UAE companies, government departments and the Central Bank. It is also ranked as one of the top business schools in the world for both its executive education and its MBA programmes.
More details about the programme offered in Dubai and Abu Dhabi can be found on the school's website at http://business.queensu.ca. The programme runs October 26-28 in Dubai and October 28-30 in Abu Dhabi. Cost per delegate is $3,000 (Dh11,010).
