Business General Management Training
Q. Based on the assumption that there is always SWK in UKRM, I ask the following question. I think I've reached that stage in my career when I would like to consider moving up the ladder in the medium term. I think my technical skills for my profession are well up to par but I would say that my management skills could do with a bit of work. So my question to UKRM is what is the best way of improving or gaining these skills? My thoughts are: Some form of academic course like a MBA; Reading a book(s); Further on the job experience; Some combination of the above. A bit of background. I have some supervisory and General management experience but I think I need to concentrate on improving the following: business planning; financial planning, control and reporting; sales and marketing; recruitment and personnel management; legal and insurance issues.
A. -Are you absolutely sure that you want to move into management? I seen them mate, cunts the lot of them. Do you really want to be one of them? Why not consider a sideways move instead to an existing but related technology, perhaps a newer one or one which requires skills you have which can be adapted to a new area. -I did a full time MBA 91-92. It was a positive experience, learned a lot. Know people who have done it vocationally, nightmare. -I did half an Open University MBA. Couldn't be bothered to continue after the heart op. The intro, B800, gives a good idea of what it's all about. You're welcome to borrow the course books if you're passing Coventry.
