Cranfield School of Management

Centre for General Management Development

Cranfield’s General Management Programmes have been making an impact on business performance for over three decades. In that time, more than ten thousand managers from across the globe have participated in these internationally recognised executive education experiences to develop their personal leadership effectiveness and their impact on business results.

Each of the four programmes is designed to enable managers make the significant personal transitions required at key points in their careers. Our strong emphasis on one-to-one development and year-long relationship are unique to Cranfield’s General Management Programmes where we are ranked 3rd in Europe for the level of follow up (Financial Times Executive Education 2012 rankings).

On all of the programmes, you will benefit from expert faculty who combine management thinking with real business, an internationally diverse peer group with a real opportunity to reflect and think about yourself and your business away from the day to day of work.
