1. How will your PQ-21 Executive Education Diploma Programs help improve success of employees in their jobs?
ILGE’s PQ-21 Executive Education Diploma Programs are conducted at the post-graduate level and qualify for transfer to graduate level or doctoral level, at accredited US University degree programs. ILGE diploma programs are practical and hands-on, providing all participants a chance to practice ideas, concepts, tools, and techniques within the safe environment of the program and then be able to integrate these back into their jobs. Participants can expect to immediately begin applying what they learned in the program when they get back to their jobs. Noticeable positive results can be expected once they establish new patterns of behavior and approaches.
In-house versions of these programs are carefully crafted around the culture, backgrounds, and work contexts of the program participants and their organization. Programs include: (1) an intensive pre-program assessment and analysis identifying core issues and contexts of those participating in the program; (2) further data is gathered during the program through varied exercises and simulations; and (3) a detailed post-program report is developed with recommendations for transfer and application of program learnings for participants. This report also includes recommendations on strategic courses of action for senior management to consider for improving performance at the organizational level.
2. What makes your PQ-21 Executive Education Diploma Programs so effective?
The PQ-21 Executive Education Diploma Programs are effective for four major reasons: (1) they are practical, applied and linked to bringing change to mind-sets, competencies, and skills sets of participant; (2) they are grounded in an integrated and research-based curriculum developed over a 20-year period; (3) they are linked to developing the organization’s “Performance Quotient (PG)” to foster direct impacts on bottom-line results including performance improvements at the individual, team, unit, and organizational levels; and (4) they are taught by an experienced team of faculty and consulting associates who are carefully selected from a global network of the leading minds, scholars and practitioners possessing top credentials and hands-on experience.
3. How are your PQ-21 Executive Education Diploma Programs delivered?
The programs have a blended learning approach to appeal to all learning styles, and to integrate learning into daily application and practice. Participants benchmark knowledge and skills/competencies of specific program topics before the program, and assess their degree of learning after the program. The programs are not just lecture, but include large and small group discussions, assessments and benchmarking, project team work, experiential exercises, simulations, consultations with the instructor, action plan development for applications back on the job, and post-program follow-up. ILGE also uses a unique and propriety ILGE learning methodology which is based on ILGE’s FLD Modelc (Focal Learning Dimensions). This model engages multiple learning levels which need to be integrated into any successful transformation process. ILGE Programs impact learning by way of the content and methods employed with respect to learning on such levels as: cognitive, attentional, behavioral, spiritual, emotional, interpersonal, cultural, and existential. This learning methodology has been demonstrated as making significant improvements for companies and organizations across various cultures including US, Asia, Middle-East, Africa, Latin America, Caribbean, etc.

5. How much is it worth for my employees to learn the new ways of thinking and behaving?
Value from learning acquired in our programs will be priceless in that the changes in participants’ mindsets, skills, and competencies will lead to improvements in employee retention, satisfaction, and commitment levels. Participant’s engagement levels will also increase as will their ability to meet and exceed their objectives. Success will also be able to be observed via: improvements in current job performance in such areas as: being a more effective decision maker and problem solver, being a more effective communicator, ability to manage time and stress more effectively, more recognition and rewards for accomplishments, and improvements in being more ready for promotions or increased responsibilities.

6. What would I need to get from the training to know it has made a difference and been worth the investment of my time and money?
You would know the training has been worth the investment by noting the improvements on knowledge, skills, and competencies that the program focuses on. These are benchmarked before the program and afterwards. Participants will also be able to apply program insights back on their jobs and notice the significant improvements in results by greater success and satisfaction levels.

8. Why should my company benchmark and assess competencies focused on in your Programs?
Without benchmarking and assessment, there is no way to properly evaluate learning and development of competencies, skills, and mind sets appropriate for being effective. As all top performers from Olympic athletes to the best executives and managers, benchmark their performance, actively seek out feedback, and focus on continuous improvement activities. This what differentiates them from those who do not rise to the top in their fields.

The ILGE Leadership Diploma Programs are customized around the specific needs and backgrounds of your senior, middle, or front-line managers. They are also based on our own research-based 8-factor model of leadership competencies to reinforce critical areas for becoming an effective leader. Participants will evaluate their strengths and identify areas they want to focus on for improvements. Dimensions that are targeted for improvements in leadership include: inner self reflection, vision and change, ethical idealism, team/culture builder, building relationships and trust, business savvy and getting things done, reality-based facts, customer satisfaction focus. Other dimensions participants will improve on include flexibility, diagnostic skills, contracting skills, resiliency, and being courageous.
10.Who should attend your PQ-21 Executive Education Diploma Programs?
These programs and the curriculum they are based on are specially designed for all levels within an organization ranging from the board of directors, senior executive team, upper-level managers, mid-level managers, front-line supervisors, and other professionals and staff. Our programs are structured to grow with you as your professional and leadership role expands.
11. Can I take just a single program or do I have to sign up for entire Diploma or program?
You may select any program based on current interest and need. We highly recommend, however, that you consider finishing the complete Diploma Program for optimized learning and professional development and full credit towards a Diploma and Degree program. Programs are not off-the-shelf training, but are carefully tailored around the specific interests and need level of each attendee group.
12. How are ILGE executive education programs different than typical executive education or other kinds of non-credit training programs?
Unlike most traditional executive education or other non-credit training programs, ILGE PQ-21 Executive Education Programs require full engagement of participants in varied activities during the length of the
Program and afterwards. This requires completing assessments, participating in simulations in the program, and completing a special project team assignment during the program. Those that successfully complete these activities will receive a Certificate of Acquired Competencies (much different that traditional certificates of attendance). You will also receive internationally recognized official Continuing Education Units (CEUs) based on number of hours of the program attended. ILGE executive education programs are also recognized as being conducted at the post-graduate, accredited US University level to qualify for full transfer to degree programs, pending additional work and meeting admission requirements of the University.
13. Does receiving a Diploma from ILGE require extra work in addition to just attending the programs?
Yes. To receive a Diploma of Acquired Competencies you must complete the full set of Programs (12-days for the Senior Level Executive Program and 16-days for the Excellence in Leadership Diploma Program). You must also complete additional work including maintenance of a journal-diary during length of the program. This involves keeping a written record of your learnings and experiences as you progress through the program. You will also complete an approved special project assignment that requires completing a “problem-solving” or “change management” project related to your organization or studying a special topic in Leadership. Those that just attend the regular sessions or who do not complete the full set of Programs will receive a Certificate of Acquired Competencies, which demonstrates mastery of a select number of competencies presented in each part of the Program.
14. How do I acquire credits to apply to a Doctoral level or Master’s level Degree Program?
You begin by participating in one of the ILGE’s post-graduate level executive education diploma programs, and then after formal application and acceptance into one of the Nova Southeastern University-Fischler School of Education and Human Service’s programs, you may transfer the ILGE credits to obtain advanced standing.
15. What are the major benefits I receive by enrolling in ILGE-Nova Southeastern University’s Leadership Diploma to Degree Programs?
