The Institutes and the Wisconsin School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have partnered again this year to offer the 2015 Management Education program—first in May and again in October.

This five-day, interactive program provides experienced and high-potential managers and supervisors with organizational leadership training tailored to the risk management and insurance industry. Additionally, participants will:

• Learn how to successfully align and implement strategies
• Deepen their understanding of organizational dynamics
• Gain an understanding of the operational aspects of executing strategy
• Enhance their strategic business acumen and decision-making skills
• Build a new network of fellow industry participants

“In today’s business environment, managers and supervisors need a solid understanding of core business functions combined with real-world knowledge,” said Peter L. Miller, CPCU, president and chief executive officer of The Institutes. “Through this program, those looking to advance their leadership role will be better prepared to transition from functional management to leadership through a greater understanding of the insurance industry, business and people.”

In addition to faculty members from the Wisconsin School of Business, instructors include two executives from CUNA Mutual Group, Kathy Blumenfeld and Daniel Kaiser, as well as Jim Swanke, who is global director of enterprise risk management for Towers Watson.

Some course titles include:

• “Understanding Financial Statements.”
• “Evaluating Your Organization’s Strengths and Weaknesses,” and “Aligning and Implementing Strategy” on the insurance company strategy track.
• “Emotional Intelligence” and “Talent Advocacy” on the leadership track.
