A Unique Opportunity
Once executives have reached a certain level in their
career, experience and knowledge, how can they reach
new levels in their professional development? Which
knowledge and management tools are really important
to update for the future? What new skills, competencies
and capabilities are required to succeed in a new business
environment?
At IE Top Management Programs we will deliver answers to these questions. We view Executive Education as a way for managers, directors and company leaders to update skills, gain insights into latest trends and practices and network with experts and other managers.
The Advanced Management Program (AMP) is specifically designed for executives and entrepreneurs with a clear international vision who hold positions of major responsibility and have been identified by their organizations as leaders. The AMP responds to the training needs of top managers who have reached a stage in their career where they are poised to seek positions of maximum responsibility in the near future.
Participants increase their personal and professional capabilities, analyze new management models and broaden their network with new colleagues from different organizations and countries. During the program, they have the opportunity to exchange and debate best practices with their colleagues, professors and leading practitioners.
The AMP is designed as a unique experience combining introspection and the acquisition of new skills and capabilities which aid a manager’s personal and professional transformation. The objective is to achieve a double impact for the participant both in their level of training but also in their success in the workplace.
The AMP offers a privileged environment to develop a new global and strategic vision of business realities delivering a deep understanding of future trends and their probable impact on business which will aid participants in their transition to higher management roles within their organizations.

IE’s online education platform used on the AMP Blended makes use of two main types of class, Videoconferences (synchronous) and Forums (asynchronous).
Videoconference sessions allow both students and professors live participation via video and audio connections. Each session lasts 90 minutes. This allows class members to maintain weekly face-to-face contact with the professor and fellow participants. Sessions may consist of a mixture of case discussions, group presentations and theoretical lectures. Between Monday and Thursday sessions take place on the discussion forums. Participants connect to the Virtual Campus in order to access the forums which are active 24 hours a day. This allows students to make their written contributions at whatever hour best fits in with their timetable. The number of intervention per student is limited to encourage a fluid debate (5 short contributions per student). This style of debate where every comment is recorded leads to a highly reflective and analytical debate.

academic in Economic and Social Studies at the University of East Anglia before moving to the London Business School, where he joined the Organisational Behaviour Group.

Professor of Organisational Development at Henley where he also served on the Board of Governors. His most recent job was as Director of Human Resources and Internal Communications at the BBC.

He has published several books, including “The Character of a Corporation: How Your Culture Can Make or Break Your Business” co-authored with Rob Goffee and most recently, “Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?”, also with Rob Goffee, and published by Harvard Business School Press in February 2006 . This latest leadership title was based on an article of the same name which won the prestigious McKinsey Award for the best article in HBR in 2001. The theme of authenticity was developed in another HBR article, “Managing Authenticity” which appeared in the December 2005 issue. Their latest article, “Leading Clever People” appeared in the March issue of HBR and deals with the special challenges of leading in the knowledge economy. Other articles have appeared in the European Management Journal, in Human Relations and in the Harvard Business Review. Gareth serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of People Management Magazine.
