In collaboration with the SDM – School of Management, DiPSA offers a range of advanced training programmes tailored to the needs of executives, professionals, and public and private organisations.
These programmes combine rigorous academic content with practical relevance, helping participants develop strategic thinking, leadership capabilities and the tools to innovate in complex environments.
