The Management Development Programme (‘MDP’) is the Local Enterprise Office most comprehensive offering to small businesses in Longford

This programme facilitates the participants to stand back from the fuss of their day to day operations and clarify

1. Where their business is at.
2. Where they want or should DRIVE their business forward.
3. Decide the best strategies and tactics to make this happen

This Programme is led by the renowned Blaise Brosnan of the Management Resource Institute MRI www.mriwex.ie

Restricted to the owner-managers of established and growing businesses, the calibre of participants is high and their business needs are similar.
