Advanced Management Program Enjoys Unprecedented Success

Announcement posted by Integral Development 13 Jun 2013

Provider of management courses in Perth reveals why “old school” management techniques are outdated, ineffective, and counter-productive.
Perth, WA, June 13, 2013 - Integral Development is well-known for their Integral Leadership Model; they have had a profound effect on how Perth, WA, and Australia do business. Their Advanced Management Program is a natural extension of their Integral Leadership Program, and is receiving overwhelmingly-positive feedback from those who have attended and benefited from it.

The program, which was last conducted in February was created to help develop senior level and middle level management by teaching them modern management concepts and techniques, while fostering personal growth, problem-solving, teamwork, and professional development.

The Advanced Management Program is a 5-1/2 day course that involves a lot of problem-solving in a team format, where individuals are given constant real-time feedback. The course is based on action and creation instead of learning by rote.

The teachers and facilitators are respected leaders in their professions, who have personally done everything they teach.

The first day, which is a half-day, focuses on Integral Leadership Model. It also includes 360 degree feedback. The Integral team then introduces participants to the case studies.

The second day, attendees are broken into teams for learning activities that involve action. They are then introduced to Firo B assessments and Myers Briggs assessments of personality types. The afternoon focuses on how to maximise individual performance, how to define the direction of leadership, and how to develop and communicate a corporate vision.

The third day is spent in morning workshops focusing on business strategies and business direction. The afternoon sees more teamwork, with a focus on sustainability as an organisational model.

The fourth day is mostly workshops, designed around serving the interests of stakeholders and customers, managing change, and marketing strategy. In the afternoon, the participants once again break into teams.

The fifth day is said to produce many paradigm shifts. The morning session focuses on creativity and also on innovation, followed by coaching for maximum performance. In the afternoon, the participants break into problem-solving teams, and finish with a workshop on the dynamics of teamwork.

On the sixth day, the training ends with the presentation of the results of problem-solving sessions to company executives. Participants are then provided with an agenda for their personal and professional growth. A plan for follow-up coaching is then formulated, and the final piece is reintegration into the workplace.

According to Dr Ron Cacioppe, Managing Director, the Integral Advanced Management Program's scope and focus on development set it apart from other management programs: “Old school management theory doesn't work in today's business environment. The Integral Model and the Advanced Management Program are a result of today's most evolved, advanced research and thinking in the field of leadership development.”

Cacioppe continued, “The Advanced Management Program develops leaders by providing a platform for innovation and creative thinking. Unlike a lot of programs where participants learn theory by rote, we provide opportunities to apply what they are learning to solve real business problems in a spirit of teamwork and cooperation.”

Cacioppe concluded, “The Advanced Management Program goes beyond any management program you have experienced.”
