What makes MCE unique?

❖ Learn, Practice and Use
➢ Learn the key business skills and knowledge you need in your management role today and tomorrow.
➢ Practice the skills you have learned and get feedback, recommendations and coaching.
➢ Use what you have learned and practiced as soon as you get back to your office.

Telling people what to do doesn’t work anymore. All MCE’s prorammes focus on business. They are practical with real case studies, role plays and feedback from peers and from MCE’s faculty.
MCE’s programmes are challenging – it’s about you, you are the most important part of the solution, we don’t leave you in your comfort zone.
They are connecting you across traditional boundaries by helping breaking down management barriers to facilitate communication and help you get ready for change in your organization.
MCE programmes are also creating solutions – we focus on you and your needs, we don’t pump you full of academic theories and irrelevant case studies. One size doesn’t fit all: MCE’s faculty works with you to create the right solution for you.

❖ A Long-Term Business Partner and Global Presence

• Blended learning - MCE goes beyond simply offering standard training sessions. It focuses on developing solutions designed to strengthen long term behaviour by consolidating newly acquired competencies. To accomplish this, we integrate diagnostic tools related to competencies and knowledge along with case studies analysis and augmented by individual coaching that helps guarantee a return on the investment made for the workshop.

Our specific training processes are designed to permit us to adequately respond to our client’s needs and follow-up the rate of progress, making suggestions for change, where necessary.

Each project is led by a coordinator who takes full responsibility and communicates the project’s status to all the MCE team members while maintaining a continuous information flow with the client.
