General Management Programme (GMP)
Creating innovative, high-value mindsets
The CEDEP GMP is a fully-immersive executive agility and acceleration programme dedicated to top senior managers which takes place over 2 periods of 11 days, with a 3-month intersession.
Participants learn to lead and operate effectively in an ever changing and uncertain world and are equipped with proven comprehensive tools and frameworks. The red-thread of the programme are the participants’ strategic challenges. Participants bring real-life challenges they are facing at work, and continuously apply learnings directly to their challenges to develop solutions.
Main Objectives
This transformational, hands-on programme gives participants the keys to stay agile, motivated and efficient in a complex, rapidly changing environment. The programme awakens their management performance by helping them deconstruct fixed practices and reconstruct new ones to use immediately in the workplace. It gives them the time out, insights and focus needed to strengthen their organisation and make it more competitive in the future. Some of the topics include:
- Moving from a financial to a more agile strategy
- Identifying strengths and weaknesses to improve communication and efficiency
- Breaking established models and use change to innovate
- Understanding intercultural communication, planning and sustainability
- Create different perspectives to build awareness of opportunities and challenges
- Using collaboration to achieve the best results
- Learning to inspire, empower and motivate teams
The GMP also combines personal development techniques. Participants learn new ways to inspire, collaborate and innovate so they become dynamic leaders who make better decisions.
Learning Journey
The GMP gives senior managers the unique opportunity to be immersed in a stimulative environment with creative, strong and knowledgeable leaders from diverse backgrounds and industries. Taking them on an inspiring and personalised journey where they explore innovative ways to create value, grow sustainably and have an immediate impact upon return to their organisation. The programme focuses on the common managerial challenges today’s leaders are facing in order to develop high value employees. It is divided into 2 periods of 11 days, with a 3-month intersession
PERIOD 1: The New Normal Environment & Strategy
- Learning how to navigate in uncertainty, open their mindset, and take time to step back in order to evaluate their own performance
- Participants will build awareness of the challenges of today’s complex world and learn how to strengthen their organisation to make it more competitive for the future
PERIOD 2: Organisation & Implementation

Participants leave the programme with tangible new strategies to implement with confidence in their workplace. After the programme ends, support is offered from the coaches (via at least 2 conversations over a 6- month period) to help implement change in the organisation.
