What is the Mini MBA Programme?
The Mini MBA programme is focused on developing the most important business skills. The training course provides participants with a clear picture of organisations, their structure and management methodology. Participants will have the opportunity to acquire knowledge that has value and can be used in everyday business
activities.
The Mini MBA uses a mapping technique and a well thought-out sequence of modules.
Mapping an organisation, or analysing it through a sequence plays a significant role in comprehending the concepts and topics delivered around business administration. It is therefore essential to ensure that participants understand where each model can be used or where it is “situated”.

Who is it for?

The training course is intended for managers at all levels in all lines of business, owners of small and medium sized enterprises and those who intend to start their own businesses. Managing an organisation or a division requires specific and very often diverse business skills and knowledge. It is therefore important that managers have the relevant knowledge of the company’s operations and an understanding of its strategy, human capital, marketing and other operational challenges.

How will participants benefit?

This programme offers an excellent opportunity to learn how businesses operate and analyse important concepts such as strategy, competition, marketing leadership and technical areas such as accounting, finance, project management and others. In essence, it aims to provide participants with the logic behind organisations, their structures and a methodology for analysing both their own organisation and others. Each participant is offered the essentials to analyse the current position of any organisation before decisions take place that will lead to implementation.
