The only executive education program of its type in Asia Pacific, and offered just once a year, the Institute is a residential program, comprising five days of intensive learning and insights into best practice corporate affairs at Melbourne Business School.
Cited as the best program of its type internationally, the Institute is a must for mid-level practitioners looking to shift their capability to best practice, and for senior practitioners looking to refresh their engagement with best practice.
