 Transitions
deliver a
masters-level
postgraduate
Certificate in
Strategic Management
(TCMS) to meet the
personal development
and training needs of
managers in larger
businesses.
It is a modular
programme of project-driven
learning, arranged around
five classroom-style
sessions, each of three
days’ duration and
accredited by Nottingham
Trent Business School. The
programme is designed to
provide existing, newly
appointed or aspiring
managers with the
opportunity to undertake a
modular management
development programme,
which leads to a University
award in Strategic
Management. The key
objectives of the programme
are:
- To provide managers
with a broader business
perspective.
- To develop their
understanding of other
business functions and
how these integrate
with their roles;
- To provide them
with tools to do their
jobs more
effectively;
- To enable them to
approach
decision-making more
strategically;
- To prepare them for
progression within the
organisation.
Programme Structure and
Content
The TCSM is run as an in
house programme and through
the structure and content
of the programme delivers
specific benefits to the
company and the
participating managers. In
addition TCSM offers the
company the opportunity to
identify potential
‘high
flyers’.
The TCSM is structured
around two modules that are
essential to the
development of effective
strategy management
performance in the
business. These two modules
are designed to address the
key roles and areas of
activity of the managers
within the company to
ensure the objectives are
achieved. The modules
are:
- Understanding and
Planning for the
Competitive and Market
Environment.
- Understanding and
Planning for Leadership
of People, Ideas and
Change.
Each module consists of
a number of ‘off the
job’ teaching
modules.
The purpose of these
teaching blocks is to
provide the individuals
with the necessary theory,
skills and understanding to
underpin the development of
knowledge and effective
practice within the
module.
Each module is
undertaken over a period of
time, sufficient to allow
attendance at the relevant
days/courses, and allow for
the study time necessary to
complete the module
assignments. The precise
time therefore to complete
the programme is flexible,
according to the needs of
the business and the
individuals, but would not
be expected to exceed one
year.
