 For over 20 years, hundreds of high-potential managers have prepared for advancement by participating in the Minnesota Management Institute (MMI). An exciting alternative to a traditional MBA degree, the MMI program gives participants a basic understanding of the entire scope of the business enterprise in today's emerging economic environment.
Improve organizational performance
MMI provides excellent development activities that make a difference in a manager's career and his or her ability to contribute to improved organizational performance.
Participants learn in an environment where they are exposed to business fundamentals and practical applications of key principles, forming a foundation to develop the strategic knowledge and insights needed to succeed at the next level.
Re-energize with the best and brightest
Participants who share your journey tend to be energetic individuals who come from a broad cross-section of organizations. You will learn cutting-edge material from both the faculty and each other. Through robust discussion with other high-potential managers from leading organizations, you will understand best practices and share a passion for knowing the art, science, and business of management.
All of the MMI faculty are seasoned executive professors, thought-leaders, coaches--people who "walk the talk" and can provide useful insights as well as content knowledge. Some of the faculty teach in the MBA program at the Carlson School; others are corporate leaders with a national reputation; others have proven successes in business applications; and still others are wise protagonists of the business enterprise.
Gain confidence in your knowledge
You will become more certain in your understanding of the business enterprise and in your ability to problem solve. The MMI program explains content and context to unravel the mysteries of management. Your knowledge, experience, and insights--as well as those of the others in the program--will be vital to creating a group setting filled with respect and confidence.
Strengthen your business competencies
Completion of the Minnesota Management Institute leaves you with increased confidence that you have mastered the topics in a broad basic business education and can successfully accelerate your career. You will:
- Develop a comprehensive understanding of the functional areas of business including finance, marketing, operations, human resources, performance management, and more.
- Learn to manage more effectively within your organization's strategic framework and master the connections between vision, strategy, tactics, and execution.
- Refine key management skills: decision making, problem solving, planning, change management, managing people, strategic thinking, and more.
- Share your ideas, discuss best practices, and build valuable networks with high-potential managers from other industries.
- Gain valuable self-insights related to your role as a leader, coach, and team member.
