We strongly believe that managers can only be trained within organisations. Management is learning “on the job“ and “from the job“. Management education must therefore create the basic conditions and concretely promote this. For example through executive development which is derived directly from the corporate targets. Only if we succeed in coupling executive programmes with the personal career plans of a manager is it possible to achieve continuous progress. And only if theory is prepared to meet the needs in practise will learning also make a positive contribution to the added value.

IMC has therefore built a team of consultants specialised in the implementation of management education strategies, following the idea: “You have the strategy, we have the processes and tools to realise your strategy“. You will profit from the experience our consultants have collected in well-known companies in various industries and optimise your “operational excellence for management education”.

Your business and Our Services

Optimisation of operative processes

Recent studies show: More than half of all corporate universities spend a great deal of time and energy on the question how their own strategy can be implemented in efficient operative flows and structures. We can help you to compare your challenges to those of other corporate universities and thus show ways for your individual process design.

Programme Design

Customised programmes for personnel and executive development are the core of each corporate university. You are the one who knows the educational needs of your company best. Now think about how you could best design and distribute educational offers to your various target groups. The comprehensive experience of IMC, e.g. in the design of blended learning, can help you to choose the right media and didactic concepts for your education targets.

Personalised information and further training

Each manager is individual. Corporate universities therefore cannot reduce their efforts to developing schematic “management skills“, which would only fit for rigid competency profiles. Effective executive development must place the focus on the person of the manager in the corresponding job profile and career section. With IMC you have a partner who is well aware of the necessity for more flexible further training processes and can create suitable learning environments for this, e.g. through “Manager self-study tools“ and personal information services such as “My bookshelf“.

Use of methods and team training

As the person responsible for management education you are surely familiar with the following situation: Your team has to supervise an extremely demanding target group, which hardly forgives mistakes. This is a challenging and time-consuming task. By implementing time-saving methods and training your team we can support your employees so that they can concentrate on what is essential: Your customers and their satisfaction.

Choice of partner and design of cooperation

Excellent executive development requires excellent partners. Whether these are business schools or trainers, the quality of the partners is a decisive factor for the acceptance of a Corporate University. Based on our extensive experience we know the training market and the profiles of Business Schools exactly. We can therefore help you to choose the right partner and point out to you what you have to pay attention to when designing the cooperation.

Editorial office and public relations work

The brand of a corporate university accelerates the implementation of the strategy. Name, choice of legal form, public effect and training targets are closely linked. Through the brand you communicate your corporate mission to your workforce and your philosophy to a wider public. IMC as publishing company and as provider of software solutions can support in choosing the right information channels and in preparing the information suitable for the media.

Space and resource management

Management education needs space where thoughts can be exchanged, ideas discussed and innovations developed. Image, costs and flexibility are decisive factors regarding the question whether own training resources have to be acquired and administered for this purpose. IMC can advise you how to efficiently administer and optimally use own training resources.
