New Russian venture for Cambridge Executive Education at Judge Business School

The FINANCIAL — Judge Business School is pleased to announce that Cambridge Executive Education, based at the School, will be running a bespoke IBS-Moscow Strategic Leadership Programme from 13-17 September 2008.

IBS-Moscow is a leading Russian business school and the first Russian client for Cambridge Executive Education. The IBS-Moscow delegates – 21 Executive MBA students and four members of staff – will attend the week-long course as part of an international learning module.

Through a blend of lectures, practical and interactive learning activities and company visits, including the London 2012 Olympic Park, the delegates will gather key learning points around strategic leadership, enabling them to implement this thinking in their professional practice. With a practical and British focus, the programme will bring a unique perspective to the delegates' study programme and will examine areas not usually covered on a typical Russian MBA syllabus.

Ashot Seferyan, director of the Executive MBA programme and international projects at IBS-Moscow, said: "The international part of the Executive MBA programme at IBS-Moscow is essential for the students. It provides them with an understanding of how business strategy and leadership operates in different parts of the world. The United Kingdom is especially interesting for us, as it is a strategic partner of the Russian Federation and our countries have strong historic ties."

Working with IBS-Moscow is a new venture for Judge Business School and Cambridge Executive Education and it is hoped that the programme will signal the start of an exciting international partnership with various organisations and institutes across Russia. Dr Lawrence Abeln, Chief Executive Officer, Cambridge Executive Education commented: "This is an exciting time. We are expanding our global portfolio of business opportunities, and engaging in many new and innovative projects, such as our programme with IBS-Moscow, to meet the ever increasing demand for world-class executive education here in Cambridge."
