Azerbaycan Management of Value (MoV®) Foundation and Practitioner Eğitimi

No prerequisites are necessary for attendance, although delegates would benefit from some experience of working in projects, programmes or an operational environment prior to attending the MOVF course.

Pre-Course Reading

There is no prescribed pre-course reading required.

At the end of this course you will be able to understand a proven methodology comprising a unique set of principles, processes and techniques, and in particular how:

• to clarify their organisation's objectives and value priorities
• MoV® can be applied within an operational environment
• to organise and contribute to MoV® studies

The MOV Foundation and Practitioner course uses relevant case-studies and accelerated-learning techniques to ensure that theory is embedded and delegates feel confident in the practical application of MOV. Additional evening work will be required in the form of consolidation reading and mock examination questions. The evening work is an integral part of the course and delegates should expect to spend approximately two hours on these activities.
