4 personal coaching sessions to increase your leadership effectiveness
Studies in our organization are important as a means of developing the competence of managers and raising motivation. Each manager takes away his own from the studies. For some it is new acquaintances and sharing of experience, for others it is self-knowledge, for others it is deepened professional knowledge or acquired new competence. Is executive studies something that will add value to you and pay for itself? It depends on how you manage to use it. We are happy that the investment is paying off.

WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
There is a very good saying - "it is as others
think". During my studies, I had a unique
opportunity to take a 360-degree test, the greatest
value of which, in my opinion, was the
opportunity to evaluate myself and be evaluated by
others (employees, friends, colleagues...).
Discoveries were phenomenal! The received
information helps you to create an overall picture
of yourself, to see your strengths and weaknesses,
and to create a development plan.

Executive MBA program
I always raise the bar high, both for myself and for
those around me. The year at ISM Executive MBA
was not the easiest journey, if you aim for the
maximum, you have to be prepared for everything.
But in hindsight, if I were given the choice, I
wouldn't change a thing. Every obstacle, challenge
and struggle, every push outside the comfort zone,
every experience has nurtured and opened up new possibilities. And I will certainly never be the
same again.

WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
Atėjau į ISM Executive MBA studijas daugiausiai įkvėpimo. Bet gavau žinias, kurias jau taikau praktikoje. Idėjas, kurias įgyvendinus, verslas augs nepamatuojamai greičiau. Kontaktus, kurie tikrai pravers gyvenime. Ir žinoma įkvėpimą- niekada nesustoti tobulėti.

WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
ISM Executive MBA studijų metu įgytus gebėjimus ir žinias galėjau iš karto taikyti praktiškai tiek savo agentūros veikloje, tiek dirbdama su klientais. Didžiausia studijų ir įvairių mokymosi metodų vertė yra asmeniniai pokyčiai, vykstantys klausant ir diskutuojant su dėstytojais, bendraujant ir sprendžiant užduotis su kolegų komandomis, galiausiai, apmąstant ir nagrinėjant savo paties sprendimus, pojūčius ir elgesį.

Didžiuojuosi savimi, priėmus iššūkį studijuoti ISM Executive MBA. Per vienerius metus trukusią kelionę įvyko teigiami pokyčiai, tiek asmeniniai tiek profesiniai. Mano turėtas verslo kontaktų tinklas išsiplėtė. Įgijau daugiau pasitikėjimo savimi, žinių bei supratimo apie strateginius iššūkius ir lyderystę. Aš tapau geresne vadove ir geresniu žmogumi.

WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
Įmonė, kurios valdybos pirmininku buvau, išgyveno sudėtingą laikotarpį ir vadovo pokytį. Man teko stoti prie vairo. Kitomis aplinkybėmis šią nepaprastą situaciją įveikti būtų buvę sudėtingiau ir kaip asmenybei ir kaip profesionalui. Tikriausiai būčiau jautęs daug didesnį neapibrėžtumą. Esu tikras – ISM Executive MBA studijos pirmiausia man padėjo dirbti su savimi.

WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
Kitų vadovų pakvietimas į savo organizaciją suteikia labai daug atsakomybės – tavo gebėjimas pasitikėti komanda, jai atskleisti duomenis ir objektyviai pristatyti organizaciją lemia visos grupės rezultatą. Bendramoksliai organizaciją padeda pamatyti iš šono ir ją nešališkai tyrinėti. Ši patirtis buvo labai unikali, padėjusi atrasti naujus būdus, kaip ir kur link judėti pirmyn.

MO Muziejus CEO, ISM Executive MBA programos alumnė
ISM Executive MBA studijų metu pasinaudojau galimybe drauge su studijų kolegomis savo organizacijai ruošti strateginį darbą. Ši patirtis, bendramokslių ir geriausių savo sričių ekspertų suteiktos įžvalgos, galimybė įsigilinti net ir į pačias mažiausias detales (kurias ne visada norisi matyti) ir gauti kolegų, kaip išorės ekspertų vertinimą, buvo labai vertinga.
Algirdas Ramaška
Kino Pavasaris CEO, ISM Executive MBA programos alumnas
ISM Executive MBA studijose itin sužavėjo galimybė gilintis į lyderystės subtilybes, verslo ritmas dažnai neleidžia per daug laiko skirti refleksijai apie save kaip lyderį, ar žinių apie lyderystę gilinimui. Geriau save suprasti ir pasiekti lyderystės transformaciją padeda dar studijų pačioje pradžioje 360 laipsnių metodu atliekamas vadovo elgseną, lyderystės potencialą bei efektyvumą matuojantis elgsenos tyrimas. Į jį turi įsitraukti itin daug žmonių - kolegos, artimieji, draugai. Todėl galutinis vaizdas, kurį tu gauni, labai išsamus. Šis testas padėjo pamatyti save iš šalies bei suprasti, kaip mane mato kiti. O šis paveikslas neretai gali labai skirtis nuo turimo įsivaizdavimo. Pradėjau stebėti savo reaktyvią elgseną, naujai atradau savo stipriąsias ir silpnąsias puses.

The module provides a conceptual framework for viewing and understanding strategy and developing your strategic thinking. It helps participants acquire and put to use practical tools and experience in dealing with strategic issues. A thread that will run through the discussions and exercises during classes is the notion that strategy is all about making difficult choices. Perspectives of business strategy and knowledge about how it is conceptualized and practiced will be offered in this module.
Its design is guided by the premise that top level managers are constrained by the firm’s strategy, its environment and its resources and, at the same time, strategy enhances their ability to manage, leverage and to ultimately change these constraints in ways that create opportunities that would otherwise not exist. Strategy module helps participants to develop and implement cross-functional decisions towards the attainment of the organizations’ vision, mission and objectives using strategic management principles.
Leadership
1 and 2 semester
The aim of this module is to prepare Executive MBA students for leadership roles (nationally and internationally); specifically, to be able to lead in a multi-stakeholder context and cope successfully with the complex aspects of leadership challenges at different levels (individual, organizational and beyond). Students will acquire theoretical and practical knowledge of leadership, explore what it means to be an effective, agile and responsible leader and develop advanced leadership competencies at horizontal (e.g. leadership skills) and vertical (e.g. advanced cognitive abilities) levels. One of the most important goals of the Leadership module is to create a thought-provoking and highly supportive thinking and conversational environment for the students, where they will be encouraged to share their tacit knowledge about leadership, be open to considering new theories, principles and models, and develop critical thinking skills in order to debate the advantages and disadvantages of existing and emerging popular leadership principles. Students are expected to define their own vision of their leadership style and philosophy and build the necessary mindset and skill set it requires. The module was designed to evoke and support tangible behavioral and philosophical leadership changes in the students, so all of the lectures, conversations and assignments will serve that purpose.
This module provides a critical review of the key concepts, models, theories and practitioner approaches relating to leadership in organizations. During the module, participants will get acquainted with the most up-to-date and relevant practical methods for identifying, analyzing and developing their 21st century leadership philosophy and style.
Illustrations and the application of leadership principles will be demonstrated through experiential exercises, skill and mindset development practices, and a 12-month transformative learning piece embedded within the body of the module. Personal and professional growth will form a common theme throughout the module.
Leading Digital Transformation
2 semester
The primary aim of the module is to expose participants to a variety of disruptive digital technologies and their impact on management and business functions,present a bigger picture of companies digital transformation, and help them understand decisions and problems and be able to ask the right questions.

The module analyzes such topics as digital transformation and digital innovation management; disruptive technologies in business – Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Medicine; digital business models; production and management innovation and management challenges in the context of the digital era.
Leading change and Innovations
2 semester. Final thesis
International Consulting Project instead of Master Thesis
The Executive MBA program culminates with a capstone module that helps to integrate business theory and practice taught in the classroom through the application of newly acquired knowledge and skills in achieving a real-world business objective.
Participants have the opportunity to engage in a real business consulting project in Johannesburg and Cape Town (South Africa). During the visit, participants work in teams in the organization of their choice and demonstrate their problem solving, creativity, diagnosis and decision-making abilities and apply general business, management, change management and innovation knowledge.
The module draws participants into a cohesive team, developing peer support and team learning in the context of an organization-based consultancy task under the supervision of an academic member of the faculty. In this way, it develops their investigative and evaluative skills as well as increases their understanding of the business context of their chosen area of expertise.
Individually, this module enables each participant to reflect on his/her learning journey in the Executive MBA program and apply this to his/her own career and occupation.
