            [post_content] => The Irish Management Institute has improved its position among internationally ranked providers of Customised Executive Education in this year’s Financial Times (FT) Executive Education Rankings.

Published today, (Monday, May 9th) the rankings show that IMI remains the only Irish business school to be ranked for the provision of Customised Executive Education. This confirms, for the third year in succession, IMI’s place among the top 60 global providers of uniquely tailored, company specific executive education.

“This is a significant achievement for IMI especially in a year when organisations are still very nervous about investing in staff development,” commented Justin Kinnear, Head of Customised Executive Education at the IMI.

IMI has climbed significantly in certain areas of provision measured by the FT Rankings. Of particular importance is the area of follow-up with clients, where IMI has climbed 20 places above competing business schools over the past three years (up 15 places on 2010).

“One of the things we particularly paid attention to in the last two years is to sit down with companies to really understand, in a hard commercial sense, what it is they want to get out of their training. We then focus relentlessly on delivering that. So when you talk to companies about their experience, as the FT Ranking process does, and ask them about the value they received, they talk about how IMI’s input made a real impact on their processes, their people, their bottom line,”  continued Kinnear.

Similarly, IMI has risen 20 places in the rankings in relation to its provision of overseas programmes and 16 places on its 2010 ranking in relation to international participants on its programmes.

Clients’ readiness to work with the IMI on similar projects in the future has helped IMI climb 9 places above its competitors since first appearing in the FT Rankings. In terms of value for money, IMI has improved its ranking by 7 places since 2009.

Speaking in relation to value for money Kinnear noted: “We understand the commercial realities and the pressures on organisations. The biggest benefit of customised executive education is that we can concentrate on those elements that customers value most and take out those they don’t.”

The Financial Times survey ranks executive programmes across a range of factors including programme design, teaching faculty, new skills & learning, follow up, international participation and value for money.

This year IMI is ranked just three places behind MIT Sloan. The top ranked schools include Duke, HEC Paris and Harvard Business School.

“What is encouraging about this year’s rankings is that we have consolidated our position and moved in the right direction, up the rankings. We continue to focus on what really matters for the clients and they have endorsed what we do through this ranking," commented Dr Tom McCarthy, Chief Executive of IMI.

IMI Customised Executive Education involves a close collaboration with clients to design pragmatic solutions to their specific business issues.

IMI works to fully understand the challenges clients are facing and programmes are then designed to align completely with the client’s business strategy and in order to drive optimal business results. These rankings are produced after a lengthy and rigorous process of evaluation among the companies involved and benchmarking against those other business schools assessed.

IMI RETAINS GLOBAL RANKING FOR EXECUTIVE EDUCATION

Press Release

Picture2

IMI once again Ireland’s only globally ranked provider of customised executive education.

Monday May 12, 2014: The Irish Management Institute (IMI) has once again maintained its position as the only business school in Ireland to be globally ranked among international providers of Customised Executive Education in this year’s Financial Times (FT) Global Rankings.

Today’s rankings confirms IMI’s place for the sixth year in succession among the top global providers of uniquely tailored, company-specific executive education.   IMI’s customised programmes accelerate client business growth by delivering enhanced levels of management capability.

“We are delighted that IMI has retained this important global ranking.  Having a world class learning provider based in Ireland is important for Ireland and Irish business competing globally.  This ranking demonstrates the high regard in which IMI is held across industry,” said Sean Dorgan, Chairman of IMI.

Speaking about the FT Rankings announcement, Dr Simon Boucher, CEO of IMI said; “IMI’s inclusion, yet again, in this prestigious global ranking is testament to our commitment to designing and delivering truly innovative learning and development strategies that produce real business results.   We sincerely thank our many corporate clients whose feedback provides the basis for this global ranking.”

IMI has retained this global ranking against a backdrop of increased competition from high profile international business schools, with twelve new entrants joining the rankings this year including major international business schools from Germany, China and the UK.

This year IMI has scored particularly highly on assessment criteria such as international partnerships, ranking ahead of global names such as Harvard Business School, Oxford Said and MIT. Similarly, the post-programme follow up that IMI provides to its clients was ranked higher than that of Stanford Business School, Georgetown and Insead.
