How to use this site

The leading business schools have world-class teaching and research facilities and many have long-term relationships with multi-national corporations; also they can offer very flexible and diverse approaches to providing executive education.

However, it is not necessarily the case that the largest and most prestigious business schools are inevitably the “perfect choice” for every management development need. For businesses and company departments that do not have the international exposure or financial muscle of the world’s leading corporations the advantages of less well-known, but still excellent, training institutions may be more attractive.

iedp.info offers information on all types of training institution from the most prestigious business schools to local ones and also commercial providers of coaching and training. Use our search facilities to narrow down your choices and help you find the “perfect fit” for your management development needs.

The Problem - Too Many Choices

There are an enormous number of ways to improve your management knowledge and skills. The range of subjects stretch from simple presentation skills to sophisticated courses in advanced financial, marketing or organisational techniques, by way of motivational training and countless other disciplines.

Not only is the range of training subjects very broad but the type of training organisation by which they are provided is also hugely variable. From independent consultants offering individual mentoring and coaching services, through activity-based learning providers to top-end academic instruction from the world’s leading business schools the choice is almost endless.

Even if you can narrow down what you want to learn and what type of institution you would like to provide the training you can still be left with a wide array of delivery methods. Such as full-time courses, modular courses, short-courses and increasingly e-learning.

Companies also have the added dimension of choosing between open enrolment courses, custom courses and consortia programmes.

Having established where your wants and needs are in this matrix you may also find that you are constrained by the three unavoidable elements of time, money and location.

Information Overload

It is undoubtedly very time-consuming to discover all the available options that might fit your criteria – not to mention the wasted time discovering courses that do not fit your criteria

The Solution - iedp.info – can help you

We have built this website to help you quickly sift through a large number of courses provided across the world, covering all aspects of management development.

The simple to use search facilities can pinpoint individual course specializations giving locations, dates and costs and contact information direct to the provider.

You can use it to identify training institutions in your area or region or groups of institutions that provide relevant training.

You can assess the providers accreditation and facilities.

We also provide a database for locating relevant business research provided by business schools and consultancies.

The site can also be used to benchmark your company’s training with the types of courses being provided elsewhere.

We have a continually growing archive of articles and case studies focusing on management education and development that are freely available for you to access.

We also encourage any feedback from corporate buyers, education providers and any other participants in the management education arena – which we will post on the site on our news section.

While iedp.info maintains contacts with a wide number of organisations involved in management education we remain wholly independent and believe our impartiality is key to our future success.
