Postgraduate Certificate in Cooperative Management
The Asian Institute of Management School of Executive Education and Lifelong Learning, in partnership with the Co-operative College of the Philippines supported by the CLIMBS Life and General Insurance Cooperative, developed the first-ever program tailored for cooperative leaders, executives, and directors: the Postgraduate Certificate in Cooperative Management.
The partnership recognizes the significance of considering both present needs and the evolving landscape of work in the cooperative sector to sustain progress and unlock the full potential of an organization.
Program Overview
Cooperatives are distinctive organization entities that place a high value on shared economic gains, democratic decision-making, and community involvement. Effective management becomes increasingly important to a cooperative’s success as it grows and expands. The Postgraduate Certificate in Cooperative Management is intended to provide cooperative officers and board members with the crucial abilities and information required to lead and oversee successful cooperative enterprises as well as to foster innovation and business model adaptation in response to shifting market conditions. As cooperatives must adapt to changes in their operating environment, pursuing new opportunities, launching new products or services, and effectively managing risk, innovation, and business model pivoting are essential elements of the program.
Participants will gain knowledge on how to create and carry out tactical strategies that are consistent with the cooperative’s mission, vision, and goals. Futures thinking, fintech, customer journey and experience mapping, design thinking, entrepreneurial finance, data science and application, digital marketing, project management, strategic negotiation, self and team leadership, and managing change are just a few of the topics and key highlights that are covered in the program.
Graduates of the program will be in a good position to manage, as officers or board members, and steer a wide variety of cooperative businesses to contribute to the larger cooperative movement in the Philippines by promoting the cooperative business model and advocating for initiatives that support the expansion and development of cooperative industries.
