Up-to-date, practical knowledge, case studies, implementation tools and exercises - these are the key strengths of ICAN Instutite's development programs that convinced me to attend another training course. If anyone is considering a broader and deeper program than an MBA, I strongly recommend ICAN!

KRZYSZTOF FOLTA
Chairman and founder of the Group
I have been using ICAN Institute's services for over twenty years. I am one of the first graduates of the Management™ program in Poland. My company TIM SA. has grown significantly since my participation in this program and is today a listed company. Growth requires the right managers. That's why I have been sending my managers to ICAN programs at various levels for years. As a graduate, I especially recommend the Management™ program, which addresses the needs and challenges of business practitioners!

The Management™ program is heavily tool-based. Its practicality can be evidenced by the fact that shortly after completing it, I already had the opportunity to use the tools I learned during the sessions, including the recruitment guide. I would definitely recommend this program to any manager at any level of their career, not only to learn something new, but also to share their knowledge with others.

Management™ helped me to look at professional challenges in a completely different way. The friendly atmosphere during the classes, great instructors and valuable content delivered in an accessible way made it easy to assimilate extremely practical knowledge. Constant references to real business situations illuminated important issues in communication, negotiation or decision-making for me. Many of the suggestions and tips I heard accompany me to this day in my daily work.

JANUSZ BUDZIAK
director of the Industrial Automation Department
By the time I got to Management™, I had completed several postgraduate courses and an MBA. However, I lacked a "buckle" that tied together all the knowledge I had learned. The ICAN Institute program helped me a lot in this regard, as it taught me how to apply the knowledge I had gained. I would recommend participation to any manager who wants to be a better leader. In addition to solid knowledge and skills, this program gives you something else invaluable: the opportunity for self-reflection and analysis of what and how you can improve in the way you manage.

There are many courses that can be useful for managers, and their choice depends on the specific industry you work in, as well as your individual skills, position, stage in your career and career plans.
In the work of a manager, valued competencies are those related to human resources and project management, communication or budgeting. If you are taking your first steps in a leadership career or thinking about promotion, we especially recommend training courses for novice managers that will bring you closer to the profession and teach you the basics about the role, tasks and specifics of a manager's work. Below you will find some recommendations of managerial courses:
- A course for a novice manager in team management
- Training in strategic management and business model development
- Training on neuroleadership and change management in organizations
- Course in sales team management: motivation, goal setting, talent development
- Training on creating sales strategies, customer segmentation, developing customer relationships
Before choosing a managerial training course, it's a good idea to first think about which area you want to develop in and which managerial competencies will be useful in your situation. You can do an analysis of your strengths and weaknesses, consult your superiors, mentors or HR department to determine the direction of your professional development and choose the right managerial courses. It's important that the training meets both your needs as a leader and those of the organization in which you work.
Management training brings many benefits to both the manager himself and the organization. The manager acquires the competencies necessary to do his job and achieve good results. With preparation, he can meet professional challenges, which reduces stress, frustration and the risk of burnout. Managerial courses also allow the manager to increase his self-awareness, such as analyzing his strengths and weaknesses and working on them.
In turn, the company gains a qualified employee, which ensures better implementation of the organization's strategy and goals. Purchasing training for a manager is also a way to appreciate the employee and increase his loyalty to the organization. Properly trained managers also reduce the risk of mistakes and misguided decisions that could have negative consequences, such as financial or employees leaving incompetent managers.
