The Associate Dean at London Business School (LBS) recently stated that “Mini” MBA programmes are designed to help managers grapple with the very latest challenges facing business and gain professional recognition.
Our programme of world-class “Mini” MBAs allows “time-poor” commercial managers to acquire skills and knowledge that could otherwise take years to attain. The content of our course represents a traditional MBA elective subject, which is part of the MBA programme. Obviously, this course is not a full MBA programme.
The aim of our British CPD Standards Office-accredited “Mini” MBAs is to enable and empower managers from all sectors of the economy to tackle the challenges they face when managing contracts and commercial relationships. Research has found that organisations are losing between 9 – 15% of their contract value through unclear scopes, poorly managed risks and weak post-award governance. The UK’s National Audit Office has highlighted that ineffective contract oversight increases costs and reduces service quality across both public and private sectors. Professional contract management helps to prevent these significant losses and improve service quality.
The courses will be delivered by our expert team.
All of our courses are available as live-streamed, tutor-led events via the Zoom platform or face-to-face versions. Tailored in-house events are also available. For more details, please contact admissions@dpss.co.uk
