THE MASTER FOR MEDIA & COMMUNICATION PROFESSIONALS

Media & Communication industries are evolving and transforming: new technologies are enabling unprecedented means and channels of interaction with the markets, targets’ attention is so scarce that new and more engaging ways of communicating are necessary, and data about targets make it possible to develop hyper-personalized approaches to communication while making performance assessment more precise. Companies, media companies, media agencies and communication firms require new skills, fresh minds and innovative ideas at the intersection between creativity and analytical skills. With IMMCM you will uncover your potential and empower your skillset about media and communications.

THE MASTER FOR THE DIGITAL LEADERS OF TOMORROW

Major of the International Master in Digital Transformation

Digital technologies and innovations are transforming processes, operations, business models and entire organisations: their impact is often so pervasive and radical that it leads to a cross-industry “Digital Disruption”. We hence believe that Digital Transformation is not merely a combination of technologies, but a major phenomenon with deep strategic and managerial implications for all companies, regardless of the industry they operate in. This master will provide participants with the strategic, entrepreneurial and organisational approaches, methods and tailored “tool-box” to navigate across the main digital trends (e.g. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Blockchain, Big Data & Analytics, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, eCommerce, Mobile & Omnichannel Communication, Digital Manufacturing & Industry 4.0) and lead Digital Innovation in both public and private organisations.

*In order to fully participate in classes and company visits, presence on campus is strongly suggested, especially since January 2023. In case of visa delays, travel barriers or other specific issues, it will be possible to continue attending online.

Quality

Today, MIP Politecnico di Milano is the main and most authoritative Italian school of project management.

The ieMPM originates from the evolution over a period of more than twenty years of the Master in Engineering and Contracting (MEC - eMEC). On this basis, the programme can now count on the collaboration of top managers with consolidated experience in the field of project management, who are able to illustrate the lessons learned and the best/good practices deriving from their application in companies and in real projects.

The Faculty is made up of professors from the Management Engineering department of the Politecnico di Milano who, in addition to an academic career, constantly carry out research and consultancy activities for companies. It integrates methodological rigour, innovative knowledge and management experience in a unique way.

 

Career Network

The ieMPM is a great opportunity to take a journey of professional growth towards one of the most requested high-profile figures on the job market: the Project Manager.

It provides the opportunity to enrich your professionalism by acquiring specialist training in the management and planning of projects over a broad spectrum of complexity.

It allows you to get in touch with Project Managers and leading companies in the management of italian and international projects. ieMPM students can benefit from the support of the Career Development Office, which organises a series of activities designed to work on your personal branding and to build up a strong professional network.

The international classroom composition of the Master, which is delivered in English, gives students the opportunity to develop a global network.

Customisation and Innovation

The ieMPM allows you to customise and specialise your study plan, giving you the ability to choose from various elective courses that are offered to focus your training on topics of interest for your professional growth.

The content and methodologies are constantly updated to follow the evolution of the role of the project manager in the most diverse sectors, and offer participants the opportunity to learn the use of some cross-cutting eSoftware Tools approaches.

Flexibility

Without compromising your own work activities, it allows you to develop the figure of the Project Manager at 360°, through a formula mainly delivered in distance learning.

It makes extensive use of interactive learning through business games, project work, case studies, group work, management testimonials and MIP’s smart learning platform.

Soft skills

Over the years, ieMPM has been enhanced with a set of activities dedicated to the development

of soft skills such as leadership, negotiation, communication, the management of virtual teams, outdoor tasks with feedback on resilience capacity and agility tests on the aptitude to act in a multicultural context, all of which are increasingly indispensable for project management in the complex international context. Team-building skills, managing stress and change and boosting motivation and personal resilience are skills increasingly required by Project Managers, who often find themselves managing work teams in conditions of high stress in order to achieve their objectives.

PROGRAMME

The kick off of the master is in November 2022.

The International Executive Master in Project Management is a 12-month part-time programme. The academic structure of the ieMPM, with the adoption of advanced training methodologies essentially based on a smart-learning model centred, above all, on remote live sessions, content that can be used asynchronously on the MIP platform and some face-to-face training, aims to provide the opportunity to acquire an integrated and inter-functional managerial culture to support and train professionals so that they are able to assume key roles of responsibility in the management of projects and related processes.

DIGITAL LEARNING

Students can participate to courses:

  • In synchronous mode with participation in live sessions for Tuesday and Thursday lessons (7pm-9pm CET)
  • In asynchronous mode (viewing of clips and recording of live sessions in case of absence).
FACE-TO-FACE WEEKS

The programme includes two full face-to-face weeks: a first week with Kick-off and Outdoor Training and a second week taking place in the latter part of the programme.

OUTDOOR TRAINING

This is a strongly interactive and intense two-day experience, carried out at the beginning of the Master and in an environment outside the Business School. The activities during the outdoor training are designed to develop students’ team-building skills, stress management, enhancement of motivation and personal resilience, all of which are increasingly useful for building the professionalism of the Project Manager, who is required to manage a team with challenging goals and often in extremely stressful conditions (environmental, relational and emotional).

The Master is divided into 5 distinct educational areas:

GENERAL MANAGEMENT
  • Organisation Design
  • Finance
  • Accounting & Performance Management
  • Business Process Management and Change
CORE COMPETENCES
  • Project Planning and Control
  • Project Risk Analysis and Management
  • Programme and Portfolio Management

  • Project Planning and Control: practice by tools
  • How to manage EPC and large Projects
  • How to build and manage virtual teams
  • Agile Project Management
  • PM for Designing Innovative Concepts

Students will have the opportunity to follow new electives (among those not already attended) one year after their graduation.

During the second half of the Master, participants are required to carry out a Project Work which will be discussed at the end of the course. The objective of the Project Work is to develop a consultancy project that will improve the competitiveness of the company in which it is run, thanks to the support of the MIP Politecnico di Milano Faculty. Working closely with Politecnico di Milano professors and researchers, participants in the programme will have the opportunity to apply the tools and methods learned during the ieMPM to tackle issues of interest to companies and build relationships of great value to their professional careers.

CAREER SERVICES

ieMPM students can also benefit from the support of the Career Development Center (CDC) which allow them to work on their self-branding, on their soft skills as well build a relevant professional network.

These activities are proposed to participants in order to help them to:

  • Grow as a person and as a manager
  • Develop soft skills: the art of negotiation, public speaking, leadership
  • Build a solid network of interpersonal relationships
  • Manage a career boost

Among the services offered:

  • CV Counselling
  • Free access to MIP Global Network of Career Websites

FACULTY

The ieMPM can also boast of a collaboration with professionals with consolidated experience in the field of project management who are able to transmit the lessons learned and best practices derived from their work experience in companies. This translates into a highly hands-on approach based on lessons with real business cases, exercises, group work and project work supervised by professors.

WHY CHOOSE US

Empower your career

MIP’s Executive MBA provides participants with a holistic view of the organisation and its processes with a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship and is oriented towards reinforcing also the soft skills and developing a network of relationships so as to accelerate the professional growth of managers and entrepreneurs.

In the new edition of the course, the Leadership Development Path has been redesigned, with Leadership - a Point of View activities and a choice of new Elective courses as well as the Career Development Programme, with the introduction of a series of workshops on tools for career development, from personal branding to business presentation skills.

Moreover, during and after the Master, participants will have at their disposal a tool for ongoing professional development, the revolutionary digital mentor developed by MIP with Microsoft’s Artificial Intelligence tools: FLEXA.

Enhance your network

MIP is part of the Politecnico di Milano and this is a unique opportunity to build your own personal network of relationships within the University's ecosystem to support your managerial or entrepreneurial career by finding the tools, partnerships and services you need in order to face the professional challenges you will encounter.

Proximity to companies is one of MIP's special features and a characteristic of all EMBA's activities.

Focus on entrepreneurship & Innovation

The Flex Executive MBA has been totally redesigned to train managers to be agents of innovation within their companies, where the topic of entrepreneurship, understood as being the ability to bring the creative mindset typical of start-ups into the corporate sphere, is becoming a priority.

Students can give a major concentration to their Executive MBA, in Digital Transformation, if they choose 4 Electives courses in this area or if they participate to an optional Week in Silicon Valley.

Throughout the program Flex EMBA students will also receive one-to-one coaching sessions with a Digital Readiness Coach, available to mentor them about practices and concrete examples they may be facing within their companies, strictly connected to the digital world.

Smart learning: work & study

MIP Politecnico di Milano was the first business school in Italy to launch the Flex EMBA, an Executive MBA Master using distance learning in 2014. All the Executive MBA formats have been enhanced by our new digital learning platform, D-HUB. Thanks to D-HUB, developed with Microsoft technology, participants can access pre-recorded video, actively participate in video sessions with the professor, interact with their peers and work with them on projects and assignments and access additional multimedia contents.

Up to-date multimedia content together with the recording of the lessons, provides a library which is always available for participants’ in-depth study and which guarantees extreme flexibility when taking the Master, regardless of geographical location and work commitments.

Quality

The Distance Learning EMBA of MIP is ranked among the world top ten best distance learning MBAs: in 2021 the program was recognised in the QS Distance/Online MBA Rankings as the 6th best program in the world, 5th in Europe and the only Italian master in the rankings. It has also been ranked 8th in the world, 5th in Europe and the only Italian program in the Financial Times Online MBA 2021 rankings. Awarded by AMBA as one of the 6 most innovative MBAs in the world, our Flex EMBA is placed in the top position for “Class Experience”, third for “Faculty and Teaching” and fifth for "Employability".

In 2020 the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development), the most highly-regarded institute in Europe within the field of managerial education and development, has granted the EOCCS re-certification to the program. EOCCS (EFMD Online Course Certification System) is a quality benchmark system developed to assess online courses. Read more

62% of the students who took the 1st edition of the Flex EMBA have changed jobs or had a career advancement within two months of graduating.

The Flex EMBA, in fact, enables participants to acquire the same ability  as with traditional Executive MBA formats to develop the necessary skills and knowledge for holding positions of responsibility and to build the same network of relationships, whilst benefiting from the maximum flexibility and compatibility with new commitments and work opportunities at international level.

Our latest research shows that on average, within two years of the conclusion of the EMBA, 80% of  our graduates succeed in taking on roles with greater managerial responsibility: of these, 40% hold executive positions.

Two years after the end of the Master, 15% of participants have taken on a position in top management and 20% have roles with international responsibility.

FORMAT

The Flex EMBA is based on a revolutionary distance learning platform, developed by MIP on Microsoft technology, which integrates the tools of individual productivity that we are all accustomed to using every day into a user-friendly digital environment. The platform also allows access to content training in offline mode for those situations where there is no internet connection.

  • The possibility to choose when, where and how to attend courses
  • No overlap with work
  • Networking & Company Visits
  • Career Development Programme
  • Leadership Experiential Path

All Executive MBA 2021 participants will also benefit of the Resilience & Networking Package, a set of experiential services, aimed at amplifying the benefits generated by the Executive MBA journey and break out the constraints of today’s scenario.

The programme is divided into 5 distinct teaching areas: core courses in General Management during the first year, Electives and International Experience during the second one together with the Leadership Experiential Path, the Career Development Programme, and the Business Transformation Project.

This is a new structure, designed to provide participants with a holistic view of the organisation and its processes with a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship.

For an overview of the structure please visit the Italian page.

For each core course, the week has a structured agenda but always provides:

  • the viewing of video-clips:  pre-recorded downloadable lessons via app which functions even when offline
  • Weekly Wrap-up: recap live session (19.30-20.30) or asynchronus
  • 1 live session: 2h (19.30-21.30) interactive lesson with the lecturer, teamwork, business case and managerial testimonies.

For those who are unable to take part in these meetings online, recordings are made available from the day after the event.
Interaction is always guaranteed by the forum in which students, lecturers and tutors look into and discuss the themes of each course.

For an overview of the scheduling please visit the Italian page.

The goal of the Leadership Experiential Path is to develop the key capabilities that leaders need to undertake their role successfully. This is a programme that provides courses in Organisational BehaviourOutdoor TrainingVirtual Team Learning, and Practising Leadership opportunities, with the goal of learning and applying innovative  leadership concepts thanks to the involvement of our Faculty and top managers.

EMBA FOR COMPANIES

The EMBA offers an immediate benefit to the companies in which the students work:

Innovation

Students are trained to be agents of innovation within their businesses. The goal is to bring the creative mindset typical of startups into the corporate world as well.

Therefore, programs are designed to accelerate the professional growth of managers and leaders who are able to respond to and tackle the challenges required by the market.

Return on investment

Being a professional in the workplace, students have the opportunity to put into practice immediately what they have learned during lectures. In this way, the company can derive concrete benefits from the advancement of its employee, as he or she becomes a promoter of change and innovation.
Furthermore, the company has the possibility of intervening in the definition of the final project work on which the student will work in the last few months of their EMBA. The project provides for the collaboration and supervision of a MIP Faculty member, a Politecnico di Milano professor or an outside consultant. In this way, the company can benefit from the output of the project, which is in essence strongly practical and consultancy-based; it also activates the know-how of the various Politecnico di Milano departments.

Customised training

The company can give its contribution on the specialization and the Elective Courses that the student may wish to attend. In this way, it can focus the training of his employees on issues of which development is of great value and represents a concrete benefit.

Moreover, the company can direct the training of each employee in accordance with the needs dictated by the participant’s position and his professional growth path.

Leadership Experiential Path

Completely redesigned, the Leadership Experiential Path is aimed at working on soft skills to improve management effectiveness and developing the key capabilities leaders need to successfully undertake their role within the organization.

Access to the Ecosystem of Politecnico di Milano

Exposure to a technological ecosystem such as that of the Politecnico di Milano, which ranges from industry 4.0 to the internet of things and self-driving vehicles, can provide added value for managers and entrepreneurs, also in terms of open innovation.
This enables the company to achieve considerable cost savings against that which it would normally spend on acquiring managerial skills externally.

Financial opportunities
  • The course is recognized by a public body - in this specific case by the Politecnico di Milano. Therefore, the fee of the master is VAT exempted pursuant to art. 10 DPR 633/1972.
  • A specific schedule of rates is applied, by means of which the cost is distributed based on the duration of the Master; we are, however, happy to take into account the needs of the company in this regard.
  • Businesses which participate in Interprofessional Funds, such as Fondimpresa and Fondirigenti, can benefit from opportunities for sponsoring their employees to take an Executive MBA, taking advantage of the funds which have accrued in their Learning Account or by using open tenders. Here, MIP works with all joint multi-sector funds by placing a team of experts at the disposal of companies to draw attention to the various funding opportunities.

WHY CHOOSE US

Alumni back to School

Possibility to stay connected to the School until 2 years after the end of the master, attending a maximum of 2 elective courses on new topics that may emerge.

Empower your career

MIP’s Executive MBA provides participants with a holistic view of the organisation and its processes with a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship and is oriented towards reinforcing also the soft skills and developing a network of relationships so as to accelerate the professional growth of managers and entrepreneurs.

In the new edition of the course, the Leadership Development Path has been redesigned, with Leadership - a Point of View activities and a choice of new Elective courses as well as the Career Development Programme, with the introduction of a series of workshops on tools for career development, from personal branding to business presentation skills.

In order to facilitate the achievement of professional goals or to meet any requalification needs in the current situation, we have extended the Career Development services up to one year after the end of the master, increasing the opportunities of meetings, both one-2 many (such as workshops, workshops and networking events) and one-2-one.

Moreover, during and after the Master, participants will have at their disposal a tool for ongoing professional development, the revolutionary digital mentor developed by MIP with Microsoft’s Artificial Intelligence tools: FLEXA.

Enhance your network

MIP is part of the Politecnico di Milano and this is a unique opportunity to build your own personal network of relationships within the University's ecosystem to support your managerial or entrepreneurial career by finding the tools, partnerships and services you need in order to face the professional challenges you will encounter.

Proximity to companies is one of MIP's special features and a characteristic of all EMBA's activities.

Focus on entrepreneurship & innovation

The Part-time Executive MBA has been totally redesigned to train managers to be agents of innovation within their companies, where the topic of entrepreneurship, understood as being the ability to bring the creative mindset typical of start-ups into the corporate sphere, is becoming a priority.

Two pillars have in fact been dedicated to innovation and transformation, with the introduction of new courses in Design Thinking, Omni-Channel Marketing and Lean Startup. In the 4th Pillar, each student will be able to customise their own EMBA route, choosing between 2 Learning Paths with either an entrepreneurial or a managerial focus.

EMBA students will be awarded a new Diploma specialising in Digital Transformation if they choose 4 Electives courses in this area or if they participate to an optional Week in Silicon Valley.

Your Continuous Learning

Today, more than ever, being a true leader means standing out in a labour market where competition and digital transformation require constant updating, without putting the present on hold. For this reason, MIP has decided to offer an exclusive benefit for those enrolled in the Executive MBA 2022 programme: in the two years following graduation, participants will have the opportunity to access more than 370 programmes including courses and pathways from the Academy catalogue free of charge* so they can continue to invest in their future.

 

*Additional enrolment and administrative costs apply to some programmes. Master's programmes and programmes promoted by the Alumni area are excluded.

Smart learning: work & study

All the Executive MBA formats have been enhanced by our new digital learning platformD-HUB. Thanks to D-HUB, developed with Microsoft technology, participants can access pre-recorded video, actively participate in video sessions with the professor, interact with their peers and work with them on projects and assignments and access additional multimedia contents.

Up to-date multimedia content together with the recording of the lessons, provides a library which is always available for participants’ in-depth study and which guarantees extreme flexibility when taking the Master, regardless of geographical location and work commitments.

To provide professionals with the development of their decision-making capacities, innovation and leadership skills, our EMBA has been implemented with two routes aimed at personal and professional training: the Leadership Experiential Path and the Career Development Programme.

Our latest research shows that, on average, within two years after the end of the EMBA, 80% of graduates obtain a significant career progress, which involves a career growth in the current company in 27% of cases, and a change of career or a change of company in 53% of cases.
What kind of change?
> 71% change of role
> 58% change of function
> 24% beginning of an international mobility
> 5% launch of a start-up

FORMAT

The Part-time Executive MBA at MIP Politecnico di Milano, starting in July 2022, will have reached its 18th edition, and is also designed for those who come from outside Milan, thanks to the innovative format that provides face-to-face lessons on a monthly basis in short weekends (Friday and Saturday).

  • 100% of classes via streaming
  • Networking & Company Visits

For an overview of the structure please visit the Italian page.

Each core course includes the viewing of multimedia clips and face-to-face lessons on one weekend a month. In addition, to ensure an Executive MBA that is consistent with the need for flexibility inherent in the lives of all managers and entrepreneurs, it is possible to follow up all the lessons via streaming, thus avoiding an unexpected business trip preventing your participation in monthly lectures. In addition, for those who also miss the streaming, all lessons are recorded and the recordings made available.

To guarantee the students support and to maintain interaction between one weekend of lessons and the next, a content tutor, a member of the MIP Faculty, is available to moderate a discussion forum, to answer any queries, to enter into the themes of the course in greater depth and to discuss current issues relating to the course subject matter.

BENEFITS FOR THE COMPANY

Expand the international business network

IMM Global EMBA students have many opportunities to form ties with their classmates – a talent pool of professionals from around the world and from an array of backgrounds -, the alumni network and faculty of the different schools, and the international companies that they will meet during the program. They will also get insights from different cultures, companies, entrepreneurs and business contexts.  Thanks to the International Master in Management, candidates can reach out to this network and have the chance to gain contacts in areas that may before have been unexplored or inaccessible in order to solve future business challenges.

Increase the company knowledge and gain competitive leadership skills

IMM is ideal for companies that intend to develop their high potential executive employees and managers, as they can benefit from bringing their management skills up to date on the latest trends in management practice and in line with their company’s culture, values and strategy.
IMM students start to use skills and knowledge while in program and the additional advantage of working while studying is that students can transfer the skills they learn on the course back to the workplace instantaneously. Students can engage in new ways to drive their teams to work coherently and effectively together and have a greater impact in the company business resulting in higher revenue, lower costs, increased efficiencies, better decision making and much more.  They can then discuss the results of their endeavours to classmates and critically discuss their leadership progress with their lecturers and cohort.

Work on Employee Retention

Invest in the training of the employees, enhance the resources, improve the company business with top-notch talents and develop the employee retention.

Maximize the Return on Investment and Save cost

The expertise Global EMBA students gain is immediately applicable in their companies and organizations. Participants become smart decision makers, effective problem solvers, and well-prepared leaders able to take on increasing responsibilities. Over 50% of IMM alumni have saved their companies $12 million annually (Purdue survey). Companies can make considerable savings in the costs they would incur in obtaining external expertise either from consultants or by employing suitably qualified managers through the job market.

Develop a virtuous circle of education

Companies can benefit of further fees reduction of additional MIP Politecnico di Milano managerial courses (such as courses included in the MIP Management Academy) to implement a widespread training program for their employees, thus developing a virtuous circle of education.

WHY CHOOSE US

Alumni back to School

Possibility to stay connected to the School until 2 years after the end of the master, attending a maximum of 2 elective courses on new topics that may emerge.

Empower your career

MIP’s Executive MBA provides participants with a holistic view of the organisation and its processes with a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship and is oriented towards reinforcing also the soft skills and developing a network of relationships so as to accelerate the professional growth of managers and entrepreneurs.

In the new edition of the course, the Leadership Development Path has been redesigned, with Leadership - a Point of View activities and a choice of new Elective courses as well as the Career Development Programme, with the introduction of a series of workshops on tools for career development, from personal branding to business presentation skills.

In order to facilitate the achievement of professional goals or to meet any requalification needs in the current situation, we have extended the Career Development services up to one year after the end of the master, increasing the opportunities of meetings, both one-2 many (such as workshops, workshops and networking events) and one-2-one.

Moreover, during and after the Master, participants will have at their disposal a tool for ongoing professional development, the revolutionary digital mentor developed by MIP with Microsoft’s Artificial Intelligence tools: FLEXA.

Enhance your network

MIP is part of the Politecnico di Milano and this is a unique opportunity to build your own personal network of relationships within the University's ecosystem to support your managerial or entrepreneurial career by finding the tools, partnerships and services you need in order to face the professional challenges you will encounter.

Proximity to companies is one of MIP's special features and a characteristic of all EMBA's activities.

Focus on entrepreneurship & innovation

The Evening EMBA has been totally redesigned to train managers to be agents of innovation within their companies, where the topic of entrepreneurship, understood as being the ability to bring the creative mindset typical of start-ups into the corporate sphere, is becoming a priority.

Two pillars have in fact been dedicated to innovation and transformation, with the introduction of new courses in Design Thinking, Omni-Channel Marketing and Lean Startup. In the 4th Pillar, each student will be able to customise their own EMBA route, choosing between 2 Learning Paths with either an entrepreneurial or a managerial focus.

EMBA students will be awarded a new Diploma specialising in Digital Transformation if they choose 4 Electives courses in this area or if they participate to an optional Week in Silicon Valley.

Your Continuous Learning

Today, more than ever, being a true leader means standing out in a labour market where competition and digital transformation require constant updating, without putting the present on hold. For this reason, MIP has decided to offer an exclusive benefit for those enrolled in the Executive MBA 2022 programme: in the two years following graduation, participants will have the opportunity to access more than 370 programmes including courses and pathways from the Academy catalogue free of charge* so they can continue to invest in their future.

 

*Additional enrolment and administrative costs apply to some programmes. Master's programmes and programmes promoted by the Alumni area are excluded.

Smart learning: work & study

All the Executive MBA formats have been enhanced by our new digital learning platformD-HUB. Thanks to D-HUB, developed with Microsoft technology, participants can access pre-recorded video, actively participate in video sessions with the professor, interact with their peers and work with them on projects and assignments and access additional multimedia contents.

Up to-date multimedia content together with the recording of the lessons, provides a library which is always available for participants’ in-depth study and which guarantees extreme flexibility when taking the Master, regardless of geographical location and work commitments.

To provide professionals with the development of their decision-making capacities, innovation and leadership skills, our EMBA has been implemented with two routes aimed at personal and professional training: the Leadership Experiential Path and the Career Development Programme.

Our latest research shows that, on average, within two years after the end of the EMBA, 80% of graduates obtain a significant career progress, which involves a career growth in the current company in 27% of cases, and a change of career or a change of company in 53% of cases.

EMBA FOR COMPANIES

The EMBA offers an immediate benefit to the companies in which the students work:

Innovation

Students are trained to be agents of innovation within their businesses. The goal is to bring the creative mindset typical of startups into the corporate world as well.
Therefore, programs are designed to accelerate the professional growth of managers and leaders who are able to respond to and tackle the challenges required by the market.

Return on investment

Being a professional in the workplace, students have the opportunity to put into practice immediately what they have learned during lectures. In this way, the company can derive concrete benefits from the advancement of its employee, as he or she becomes a promoter of change and innovation.

Furthermore, the company has the possibility of intervening in the definition of the final project work on which the student will work in the last few months of their EMBA. The project provides for the collaboration and supervision of a MIP Faculty member, a Politecnico di Milano professor or an outside consultant. In this way, the company can benefit from the output of the project, which is in essence strongly practical and consultancy-based; it also activates the know-how of the various Politecnico di Milano departments.

Customised training

The company can give its contribution on the specialization and the Elective Courses that the student may wish to attend. In this way, it can focus the training of his employees on issues of which development is of great value and represents a concrete benefit.

Moreover, the company can direct the training of each employee in accordance with the needs dictated by the participant’s position and his professional growth path.

Leadership Experiential Path

Completely redesigned, the Leadership Experiential Path is aimed at working on soft skills to improve management effectiveness and developing the key capabilities leaders need to successfully undertake their role within the organization.

Access to the Ecosystem of Politecnico

Exposure to a technological ecosystem such as that of the Politecnico di Milano, which ranges from industry 4.0 to the internet of things and self-driving vehicles, can provide added value for managers and entrepreneurs, also in terms of open innovation.
This enables the company to achieve considerable cost savings against that which it would normally spend on acquiring managerial skills externally.

Financial opportunities
  • The course is recognized by a public body - in this specific case by the Politecnico di Milano. Therefore, the fee of the master is VAT exempted pursuant to art. 10 DPR 633/1972.
  • A specific schedule of rates is applied, via which the cost is distributed based on the duration of the Master; we are, however, happy to take into account the needs of the company in this regard.
  • Businesses which participate in Interprofessional Funds, such as Fondimpresa and Fondirigenti, can benefit from opportunities for sponsoring their employees to take an Executive MBA, taking advantage of the funds which have accrued in their Learning Account or by using open tenders.  Here, MIP works with all joint multi-sector funds by placing a team of experts at the disposal of companies to draw attention to the various funding opportunities.
  • Companies will be offered further reductions on multiple enrolments.
  • Companies wishing to sponsor their employees will be offered an extremely flexible and customized payment plan.

In the actual digital era, looking at the evolution of communication systems of the last years, the traditional tools and techniques for project communication inside and outside the company need to be continuously updated or sometimes even completely redesigned. Nowadays, for example, most of the communication among the project teams moves through WhatsApp Messages or sms (with a low level of traceability or validity from contractual point of view) ; to schedule a meeting someone affects directly on your personal agenda through Outlook or something similar; the traditional approach that sometimes arrive to forbid the communication among some stakeholders is anachronistic due to the difficulty to control this type of condition.
In the short term, this will affect also in the overall project organization. Which are in your opinion possible scenarios for the future of project communication architecture and systems? Which are the related consequences in term of project roles and responsibility distribution?

Present as much examples as possible to explain your point of view in an essay of no more than 3 pages.

We turn the future into a part of you.

We offer highly personalised services with the objective of developing the necessary skills, tools and strategy and expanding your professional network, to help you succeed in today’s complex and competitive global job market.
