Reflecting about society,

organization

impacts me as a manager?
 Concepts and theory through field
studies and visiting local
organizations and companies.

the Analytic Mindset
Analysis loosens up complex
phenomena by breaking them
into component parts, and
synthesis brings them together.
The module
 Helps develop an understanding of the
power of analysis for decision making

simple models while recognizing the
power of intuition.

relationship with action.

you as a manager how you can

18. Participants’ Experiences
“The IMPM is the beginning of an incredible journey that will have lifelong
impact, contributing greatly to my personal and professional growth.”
“During the Analytical Mindset, Module II of the IMPM we were exposed to
different approaches to strategy and planning. This had a major impact on
our company. We did a complete review of the strategic planning process.
This new process allowed us to be more agile, encouraged flexibility and
allowed for emergent strategies outside the normal business planning
cycles.”
“Through the IMPM experience I learned how to be a better listener, discovered
what motivates me, became a better mentor and learned how to empower
and coach rather than taking over”
“The program's content is highly relevant to today's issues and challenges, and
is further enriched by the diversity of skill, knowledge and experience of the
global participants.”
