Ceva Announces Graduation of Students from Management Development Program

Ceva Logistics has announced the graduation of the first group of students from the Management Development Program, conducted by the Business School Esade.

The program, an important investment for Ceva, lasted 18 months and involved a group of 30 employees from IT, HR, operations and business development – all with different experience levels and training needs.

Angelo Ferranti, human resources director for Ceva in Iberia said, “The objective of the program was to provide our highly motivated employees with the opportunity to further develop themselves, their leadership skills and also their understanding of the company’s global strategy so that they can play a significant role in helping to achieve it. Our strategy was an integral part of the program, allowing the group to take business theory and implement it in their daily work.”

Óscar Martínez, senior business development manager and the students’ representative said, “Both organizations jointly created this inter-company training and developed a course where the main goal was to train a multifunctional team with a very clear remit – to support our goal of becoming the most admired supply chain company, as an operator and an employer.”

The program covered nine key areas designed to give the participants an overview of all the elements involved with running a successful business: competitive strategy; teamwork; change management; marketing; operations; information systems; finance; leading capacities and global economic trends were all covered on the course.

The program was simultaneously taught in Madrid and Barcelona and used a variety of different teaching methods to ensure the right balance between the students learning the theory and then applying that knowledge within their work environment.

Ceva in Spain will continue its training and career development program so as to train the next group of the company’s professionals.
