• The Leadership Project For a company, achieving sustainable performance depends, to a great extent, on the quality of its leadership. The question for businesses is how to develop the skills of their managers, the future leaders of tomorrow? Like a top athlete, the manager must train and learn from each situation and work to rebound in time to be at his best every day. In this context, classical training methods can only provide partial results on the improvement of managerial behaviour because it includes only a small part of the learning scenario. The Leadership Project addresses these issues through a “learning by doing” approach.It consists of: - An initial Assessment Center that helps identifying the participants’ capacities - A Leadership Project - Leadership Workshops - Courses on “Leadership & Sustainable performance” and on “Change Management” - Personal Executive Coaching sessions.

• The Maritime Executive MBA is concluded by a Strategy Thesis Project module. The participant has to prove that, based on real world challenges, he or she is able to integrate the various elements of the modules into a holistic approach. Ideally, the subject of such a thesis project should be related to the student’s company or organisation. The results of such a project could thus be useful to the company and even implemented upon graduation.
