Du Pont

Du Pont enlisted the help of IMCA to implement a range of courses designed to promote and sustain improvement in a variety of business areas. As the director of personnel comments: “The in-company or consortium MBA is an excellent way of encouraging and enabling continuous improvement for our managers in a stressful and changing business scene.” It was also felt that the courses would help to address two areas of concern for Du Pont - marketing and corporate interfaces. A range of benefits were realized by the organization. The computer systems and telecommunications manager admits he was cynical beforehand, but now feels differently. As he comments his reasons for conversion were:
“The focus on work-related assignments and the resulting benefits to the organization. The live and demanding nature of the projects undertaken and the scale and breadth of exposure to real-life strategies enabling the managers to overcome adversity. The results have hopefully led to more incisive, more rounded and better balanced group of managers.”
