This is what past participants have to say......about their experience of completing the IMI Diploma in Strategic Human Resource This programme enabled me to challenge my thinking and to explore how we architect and deliver world class performance through a high performance culture created by how we structure, engage and up skill our boxers, technical team and leaders. Billy Walsh, Head Coach Irish Amateur Boxing Association Studying Strategic HR at the IMI allowed me the time to step outside my own organisation and objectively view our processes while critically reviewing how HR was supporting the company s strategy. The Strategic HR programme equipped me with the tools to successfully articulate HR concepts and to make valuable contributions at senior executive level. I would recommend this programme for HR individuals who want to take their careers a step further and contribute at senior level.
