Åsa Germy, Category Director, Arla Foods AB, Sweden
"Arla Foods have a strong relation with SIMI and have sent managers on a yearly basis to the Managing Food and Beverage Innovation program. 2008 was no exception and we participated with a team of 3, representing product management and development. The teams feedback after 6 months of intense training was simply:
The best education they have had since they started their working live!
What I hope to achieve when investing in training for our managers is for them to return with motivation, new learning and inspiration which they can use to facilitate and sharpen their contribution to our business. SIMI deliver against these expectations through, and I quote again the team, “overall very high standard on faculty, workshops and planning”. In fact, SIMI has delivered beyond our expectations since our team as part of the training has delivered valuable recommendations on a key development initiative at Arla Foods.
SIMI claims to deliver impact through executive education both for the individual and the organization. In my experience this is not only pretty words but reality and thus the training at SIMI represents a sound investment for our company.
