Opleiding: Owners & Entrepreneurs Management Program
Learning purpose
The Owners and Entrepreneurs Management Program (OEMP) responds to the training needs of leading executives and entrepreneurs who have reached a stage in their career where they are poised to seek how to take their company and themselves to the next level. The OEMP is structured to refresh business management knowledge, to identify market growth opportunities and investment readiness and finally to discuss concepts and strategies in order to sustain your business in a changing economy.
Once your business has reached peak point, it is time to rethink and evaluate how to evolve to the next level; going beyond your expectations.
The Owners and Entrepreneurs Management Program allows you to take a step back from daily tactical activities and to take account of the overarching strategy that steers your business. It is important at this stage of your business and professional career to realize where you are today and where you would like to go.
The OEMP is a learning experience and it provides you with a space for shared thinking with our faculty as well as a diverse group of entrepreneurial participants from different business backgrounds, countries and industries who will also provide you with an array of perspectives on your business interests and concerns. This is an opportunity to meet your future business consultants, clients, suppliers, partners and peers.
