The program consists of a series of monthly two-day seminars plus an evening opening session at a location outside of Cairo. Session themes are:
Leadership | Quality |
Strategy formulation | International Trade |
Strategic Alliances | Sales |
Marketing | Family Business |
HR | Creating the Future |
Operations | IT Strategy |
In addition, participants meet between each session to discuss applications of the program materials in their businesses. In each session, a university professor or a consultant is invited to participate in order to provide them with an opportunity to be exposed to the latest concepts on the subject matter presented. The Instructional system design of the EDP is similar to the lecture model employing the case method with some workshop activities where participants are required to present and interact with the rest of the class.
