In their own words:
“For me this IMI Diploma offered really practical learnings and insights for my
role as Senior Market Manager in a fast growing global company trading out of
Ireland. The programme covered particularly relevant areas such as cross cultural
understanding, negotiation, strategic management and presentation skills.
It fundamentally increased my awareness of how to better manage myself, my
team and my relationships in a hugely dynamic and multicultural internal and
external environment. It provoked me to consider more facets of international
business, how it is conducted and really challenge myself to be more mindful
around how I prepare for doing business in different regions. I found the feedback
from the other members of the group invaluable in terms of their experiences
from other markets and from companies of varying stages of development.”
