Customized programs

SIMI also offers customized programs for the food and beverage industry. Such programs can take the format of a SIMI Industry Diploma Program (IDP®) (e.g. Managing Food and Beverage Innovation), but is adjusted to the specific needs of the customer. The program can also be tailored to specific needs that are not covered by SIMI's regular portfolio.

The advantage of the SIMI learning model, involving project teams from across the company’s operational functions, now becomes manifest. Through preparing one or more business projects of operational and/or strategic value the participants get a deep understanding of the value chain of the company and what it takes to implement the business recommendations. Team members also learn to collaborate in spite of diversity in backgrounds and perspectives. For business leaders in a global organization this is a prerequisite for gaining business leadership competence, being effective and creating impact.

Example of customized programs to the Food and Beverage Industry:

Carlsberg – The Carlsberg Marketing Academy (2005 - 2008)
Arla Foods – Ulysses Leadership Development Program (2008)
