EDHEC’s Advanced Management Programme is a part-time top flight programme for senior executives and experienced professionals who need to acquire the strategic skills that will allow them to lead their organisation to success.
Acquire a strategic overview
Sharpen your managerial and leadership skills
Develop your professional network
Improve your strategic agility
Strengthen your managerial skills and develop your leadership.
The general management foundation courses will give you the strategic skills needed to make decisions, create value, lead teams and manage conflict, as well as to prepare for and lead change. The course is pragmatic, directly exploitable and accessible.
There are 5 distinct modules:
Gain valuable insights into intercultural management and notions of emotional intelligence, measure your resistance to stress, and understand your own decision-making processes through individual coaching.
Acquire and transmit a vision. Learn how to implement a business development strategy. The topics covered include strategic marketing and brand strategy, strategy and business models, innovation management, mergers and acquisitions, and an introduction to geostrategic thinking.
Understand and interpret financial situations, learn about the main growth levers and the key aspects that need to be examined to understand a firm’s financial situation.
Learn the key techniques to manage major change in organisations. Understand the levers that drive a corporate culture: major conflict management, business ethics, the manager’s social responsibility.
Draft a message for internal and external targets. Learn how to speak to the media during difficult times.
EDHEC’s AMP programme includes a comprehensive individual support and leadership development programme. The participants are guided towards a successful personal and professional transformation as a senior manager expected to manage a firm’s future changes.
The programme is run by a team of qualified coaches who all have extensive managerial experience acquired from working in major international groups.
The tailored support programme is designed to define and address your personal and professional development goals. Participants identify the points to be developed and determine the concrete aspects that will take them forward during personalised coaching sessions. The process is underpinned by the knowledge acquired during the programme as well as personal reflections arising from their diverse experiences.
Participants are offered a career support programme to help them to accomplish a personal reflection, if they so wish. This is a 7-stage process, designed to review their career to date and to develop a personal action plan. An individual ‘career review’ is handed in at the end of the session.
During the management project, the participants adopt an analytical position and make strategic and operational recommendations, either alone or in teams.
Put the knowledge acquired during the course into practice, and collating it with the reality and a firm’s everyday activities,
Develop and express strong managerial convictions in terms of people and organisation management.
Led by business leaders, experts and board members, these conferences offer an excellent opportunity for reflection and discussion on the challenges of the future and their impact in terms of people and organisation management. Based on diverse experiences that are far removed from daily concerns at times, the testimonials enable the participants to explore the values of organisations and to draw conclusions that are directly exploitable within a business.

Exceptional seminars provide in-depth coverage of managerial topics to take the participants’ personal development and their grasp of key business management issues further.
Transforming organisations : a dynamic process
Identify different types of organisation and understand the factors that trigger change.
When should we change an organisation? Accepting and anticipating change: which key factors can influence this decision? Why change an organisation and what kind of organisation? Forward-thinking ideas for the new business organisations of the 21st century.
To help them discuss these issues, the participants work in an environment steeped in history and learning: the Manufacture des Flandres. Located on the site of a former weaver’s workshop, Craye, specialized since 1900 in furniture fabrics, the Manufacture des Flandres is a museum-workshop dedicated to the memory of the textile industry in Roubaix and the surrounding area.
The course includes a simulation of a strategic product launch and company management in a highly competitive environment.
Split into different groups, the participants define a marketing strategy and work on all the components of the marketing mix. The simulation highlights the strategic aspects of company management. The tools made available help them to understand the impact of their decisions and the outcomes on performance directly.
Understand geopolitics and learn the techniques of negotiation.
The 4-day training course is designed to help participants to understand geopolitical issues and to grasp the techniques of top level international negotiation.
Led by General Desjardins from NATO Defence College, this exceptional course allows the participants to experience the management of a global crisis requiring strategic reflection and decision-making at international level.
Identify the fundamental aspects of your personal leadership style and transmit your vision.
This course ends the programme year. It is designed to pull together all the notions of leadership introduced during the programme. In addition, it delves deeper into certain aspects of leadership, notably the managerial dimension of leading people and organisations. The two-day course combines testimonials from well-known personalities and discussions with the participants.
Various personalities from the world of business, politics and civil society are invited to speak about their take on leadership, based on their own experience.
Some of the speakers in previous courses include:
The participants take part in a public speaking exercise. They need to implement the communication techniques acquired during their programme in order to express their personal managerial convictions.
Understand the mechanisms of decision-making within European institutions and identify the factors of influence.
This one-day module is held in Brussels and gives the participants insights into the European institutional environment through a comparative study (in the form of a round table debate based on real-life experience) of business management styles according to different geographic and cultural perspectives.
The participants spend a whole day in Brussels to visit the European Parliament, meet an MP, take part in a European Commission meeting and work on a lobbying-related case study.
An innovative teaching method based on differences in experience and discussions with other business leaders.
Throughout the programme, you will meet decision-makers, senior executives of major groups and personalities who come to share their experience of managing people and organisations.
Being placed in unusual situations helps you to discover and compare different management methods in unknown environments. Compare your personal ideas on management issues. Learn to understand yourself better and develop your leadership skills.

An active network of business leaders in the heart of Paris

(*Analysis of the Classes of 2017-2018)
The National Marine course was an extraordinary highlight of the AMP programme. The absence of internet, etc. meant that I had to delegate the operations in my company. Life on board involved identifying priorities and stressful situations, and brought out the best in me. These offbeat situations made a whole lot of sense in my life as a business owner.
Meetings in the professional context often revolve around an identical circle to the one you work in, with the same size business, similar activity, and the same jobs, which is very limiting. The diversity of participants, the many contributors and the courses means that the AMP allows us to significantly extend our field of knowledge. A year of ‘intellectual sustenance’ which helped us to grow!
I was lucky enough to join this programme to consolidate my position as an all-round leader. I’ve developed my channels of influence and communication with the main job sectors (marketing, finance, RH, supply) that I come across in the context of my work. The course helped me to prepare and reinvent my future as a leader.
