“We’re proud of the contribution we can have to business growth within the North West, whilst preparing organisations for the many opportunities the Northern Powerhouse initiative will bring to the region.

“As we prepare for increased investment in the north, companies want their staff to acquire new skills and methods to ensure that their teams remain strong. From this we see a lot of organisations using executive education to build agile and adaptive leadership strategies to help empower professionals to lead during times of increased pressure and changing markets.

“At Alliance Manchester Business School, we have a ‘hand in glove’ approach when working with different companies to ensure our executive education programmes reflects the aims and objectives of a particular organisation.

“We encourage professionals who have been on our executive education programmes to see themselves as teachers, too, placing emphasis on the importance of sharing knowledge within teams whilst understanding and analysing their own experiences.”
