Mannaz and COWI received the EFMD excellence in practice GOLD 2015 award in the professional development category. INSEAD was awarded silver in the same category. Jan Ginneberge from EFMD motivates the decision as follows: “Mannaz and COWI won the Gold Award, because the partnership tackled a serious business problem that had significant personnel and financial implications for COWI.
Turning engineers into genuine project managers capable of facing complex scenarios, having endurance while dealing with frequent scope changes and sudden turnovers, and having increased awareness and control on the project budgets and customer relationships, significantly boosted skills-levels as well as efficiency, relationships and impact.” mannaz-and-cowi-receives-efmd-award
“Besides receiving the award at the conference, it was particularly motivating to hear that both companies and business schools recognised Mannaz for being a frontrunner not only in terms of designing innovative and high quality learning processes but also when it comes to measuring learning and business impact”, says Client Director Dorthe Thyrri Rasmussen.
