GIMPA INTRODUCES NEW EXECUTIVE PROGRAMMES (PAGE 11, MARCH 1, 2010)

THE Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) Business School has introduced new executive programmes tailored to satisfy the needs of leaders and contemporary senior management staff and managers of organisations.
The programmes are: Senior Executive Programme, Advance Management Programme, and New Managers Programme to help corporate bodies to equip their workers to build and expand their businesses.
The programmes, which have been drawn in a form of workshops, are to build on the competencies required for exceptional performance of managers at all levels of an organisation.
In a speech read on his behalf to launch the programmes, the Chief Executive Officer of Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited, Mr Alhassan Andani, said the programme expressed optimism about its future.
“The new executive education programmes will do for the private sector what GIMPA has already done for leadership in the public sector,” he said.
Mr Andani said the programme would go a long way in training personnel of companies who wished to be in managerial positions.
The Deputy Rector of GIMPA, Dr Lawrence Kannae, said the programmes were part of GIMPA’s journey from excellence to greatness.
He said since the year 2000, GIMPA had transformed itself from a small public service institution to a comprehensive tertiary institution.
Dr Kannae said the transformation was in line with the introduction of the executive business school to help address the educational needs of all.
The facilitators of the programme would be drawn from leading universities around the world, which include the United States of America, Canada, Australia and China.
He said facilitators would bring along global perspective to complement GIMPA’s local faculty.
The Dean of the Business School, Prof. Franklin Manu, said the school’s current programmes had been very popular and had received several reviews from participants all over Africa.
He said “the new programmes will be in addition to, and build on the momentum generated by the success we are experiencing on the market”.
He assured participants of getting value for their money.
