“There is nothing more practical than a good theory.” This bon-mot, which is ascribed to the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, neatly summarizes the mutual dependence and interaction of theory and practice. Newly acquired knowledge and skills can only be deployed effectively when theory and practice are seen as the two parts of a whole. Practical work performed without a theoretical foundation is usually inefficient and involves an increased risk of failure. In the modern world, with its incredible dynamic in terms of the growth of collective knowledge, the individual has to meet an even greater challenge in order to remain competitive and successful in professional and social life: The knowledge and skills acquired must have a practical relevance and must also correspond to the current state of knowledge or have a more or less timeless validity.

The MCI Executive Certificate programs presented in this brochure communicate state-of-the-art knowledge and ensure that theory and practice are combined to form an effective whole. Motivated students are mentored in terms of their personal orientation, and their ability to understand interrelationships, access new competences, methods and skills, create new scope for action, and design and manage complex tasks.

With their modular design, the MCI Executive Certificate programs are unique in the German-speaking world in that they offer an integral link with and credits for the Master programs General Management Executive MBA and Master of Science in Management MSc, which are run in collaboration with the University of Innsbruck and other leading partner universities and have received international accreditation and formal recognition from the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research.

We would be pleased to offer further advice and also to assist you as required with the design and implementation of customized executive certificate courses, human resource and organization development processes and training programs.
