Testimonials
“The IMI Diploma in Strategy & Innovation provided me with a framework to evaluate our
company’s strategic position and assess the challenges and opportunities within our competitive
environment. The programme was a hugely rewarding and stimulating experience owing to the
quality of the content and excellent speakers. A key highlight for me was the strategy audit, which
puts the theory into practice by enabling participants to develop a strategic blueprint for their
organisation. The unique learning experience is further enhanced through the participation of like-
minded peers, sharing similar business challenges from different perspectives. Overall, I thought
the course was excellent and very worthwhile for anyone seeking to be more effective at strategic
evaluation, implementation and execution.”
Steven McKenna, CEO
Sherry FitzGerald Group
“The diversity of people’s industries, the breadth of their business challenges as well as the overall
IMI Diploma structure added a valuable dimension to my IMI experience which a distance learning
course could not have provided. One of the key deliverables of the IMI Diploma in Strategy and
Innovation in a strategic audit on my own business. Getting expert guidance and advice on our
audits during the process meant that I left the IMI with a realistic plan on where my company’s next
steps could be. I can’t think of another course where my career and company could have benefited
to the same extent while delivering a unique learning and networking experience with like-minded
peers. The number of people who return to do a second Diploma is testimony enough.”
Sarah Jane Hannon, Senior Product Manager
APC by Schneider Electric
“The course was great and it has provided me with a different lens to look at my organisation with
and very practical frameworks and tools for applying in practice. It has the perfect mix of theory,
concepts and applied tools throughout.”
Sean Moran, Director
DHL Sameday, DHL
The IMI Diploma in Strategy and Innovation afforded me the unique opportunity
to explore the strategic challenges and opportunities faced by our business
and the wider financial sector from an external perspective. The quality and
experience of course lecturers coupled with the structure of the diploma
delivered transformational insights. The learning journey was further enriched
by the quality of classroom discussions across a diverse group of students
from a wide range of industries and sectors. An enjoyable and challenging
experience to develop innovation or strategy capabilities and experience.”
