Keep the role. Change how you decide in it.
You keep the title and the responsibilities. Across 6 months, you take one decision you already carry and work it — through 6 training days across 3 scheduled sessions, program guidance and a team project — into a team project submitted and presented during Session 3. The frameworks and working templates stay with you. The method develops decision capabilities; business outcomes depend on the participant’s evidence, choices and execution.
6 months · 3 scheduled sessions · awarded and endorsed by CMI
The Executive Master's in Business Administration on Future Ready Business Leadership is approved, endorsed and awarded by CMI. It is a six-month, non-academic professional development programme, not an MQA-accredited academic degree or a regulated qualification. Recognised management and leadership development that you can include on your professional profile.
