Introduction

Programme for Management Development (PMD) Ethiopia is an intense, holistic programme, specifically designed to give middle-level managers the knowledge and skills they need to maximize their professional and personal effectiveness.

The programme runs in three modules, one of which is done in South Africa and two in Ethiopia.

Participants get the opportunity to step back from their fast-paced schedule and reflect on their challenges and goals. By sharing experiences with other managers, one gets inspired by new ideas and approaches to tackling various challenges.

The case-based learning method focuses on real-life business situations that sharpen their decision-making skills. Innovative leadership approaches will enable them to make a greater impact in their current role and prepare them to take on positions of greater responsibility.
