HGI News and Editorial

HGI has undertaken to bring to you information about exceptional learning and development programs that we hear about first hand through our associates and trusted networks. Recently, Margot Hurwitz, Managing Director – Products, Fresenius Medical Care Australia and New Zealand participated in such a program.

IMD is dedicated to delivering highly ranked educational programs to top executives from around the world. They also spend a considerable amount of resources on developing networks and research activities. This world class business school offers open enrollment programs for executive education, an MBA and an EMBA program, as well as company-specific partnership programs. IMD also has an extensive Corporate Learning Network and Alumni Network, as well as a world-renowned World Competitiveness Center.

IMD is an independent not-for-profit foundation. The school serves the international community, helping develop and retain the best qualified management talent for global leadership. IMD, the most international of all executive education institutions worldwide, is dedicated to being the “global meeting place.” It is one of the world’s leading graduate business schools, bringing cutting-edge, practical focus on dilemmas and pertinent research into the classroom in the shortest possible time – to support what IMD calls “Real World. Real Learning.”

What sets IMD apart from other leadership programs is that it is not a “one size fits all” leadership strategy. This is about understanding your own leadership profile, your personal and professional barriers to success and working on strategies for success. This is about finding your full potential. Most mornings are spent at lectures and afternoons are spent in groups of 8 with a dedicated coach. Lectures are diverse and include some unusual theoretical topics such as “how best to have a healthy mind” including brain food and other activities that stimulate the brain. It is challenging, at times confronting and above all, you will leave with a set of “tools’ to meet the leadership challenge.
