Managerial Effectiveness Seminar

3-D Managerial Effectiveness Seminar (3-D MES)

The 3-Dimensional Effective Management seminar (3-D MES) offers a consistent, time-tested structure for the development of managerial skills.

Participant Profile

Management is a requisite professional competence, irrespective of technical acumen. A manager achieves objectives through directing tasks and influencing human behaviour; managers at all levels and in all fields will thus benefit from participating in the seminar.

The 3-D MES progresses through four phases:

Phase 1: Preliminary work

The output of this phase is individual acquisition of the 3-D Leadership Model and 3-D Management concepts;

Phase 2: Cognitive Tasks

The output of this team-study phase is deepened appreciation of the 3-D method;

Phase 3: Cases

The output of this phase is consolidation – use of the 3-D method;

Phase 4: Personal Application

The output of this consultative phase is increased managerial effectiveness of the participant in his or her particular work / ‘back-home’ situation.
