This programme is for you if…

You want to elevate and develop the capabilities and mindset needed for your high-potential candidates to successfully lead the subsidiary.

Why choose this programme?

Irish subsidiaries need to develop future site leaders who can strategically manage the organisation at global level and contribute to strategic decision-making. These future
subsidiary leaders must be agile, resilient and display leadership maturity.

In tandem, their ability to identify value-adding opportunities for investment and innovation in the subsidiary must be enhanced to safeguard and future proof its success.

IMI, in association with IDA Ireland, has designed the Future Subsidiary Leaders Programme to address these needs and to develop ‘ready now’ leaders capable of stepping into these roles.

Participants can look forward to:
