Improving business through education
TO help organisations and individuals stay one step ahead in today’s complex world, TheBusinessDesk.com has teamed up with Hull University Business School to provide readers with expert insight into business and management education.
Educating and training staff, from senior management to front line operators, is essential to keep a business’s competitive edge.
Organisations can achieve this by accessing the latest in business thinking, and by ensuring that their workforce feel valued and a vital part of the organisation’s future development.
Every day next week, we will be focusing on the tangible business benefits of education and training – from implementing business efficiencies quickly and effectively through systems thinking and Six Sigma training, to tips on how to retain your best workers through internal talent management processes.
Professor Mike Jackson OBE, dean of the school, believes that organisations that place an emphasis on refreshing staff skills are best placed to take advantage of business opportunities:
Prof Jackson said: “We know that 2011 will herald slow but sure economic growth and that it is not all doom and gloom in the economy, especially in the job market. There are private enterprises which are looking to increase their head count as they take advantage of opportunities created by the cuts to the public sector.
“As a leading business school in Yorkshire, we have a wealth of expertise in a diverse range of business areas. From our AMBA accredited Hull MBA programme, which is taught internationally, to logistics and supply chain management courses run at our world-leading Logistics Institute, Hull University Business School connects with businesses to help them achieve sustainable growth and success.
“Through experience it is apparent that it is those organisations that invest in their staff and skill base which will ultimately triumph.”
