SCG Management Academy

Since 1998 SCG consultants have been actively involved in training of company managers, MBA students as well as business and economics professors in Ukrainian institutions of higher education (through the USAID CEUME Program in Ukraine). This has become the essential and specialized area of activity and responsibility for our leading professionals who go into classrooms and share their management approaches and experience of working with our actual clients.

Stressing "what and why does not work," exploring "what should be changed" and "how do we implement the required changes" here in Ukraine we draw on our own experience and that of other, best consulting companies. Teaching our clients in the workplace with the goal of finding solutions to management solutions has created the special feeling of responsibility of our consultant instructors advising about the choice of management ideas, or introducing management tools of business methodologies.

Everything we talk about with our clients is based on several fundamental principles:

• Holistic approach to business (which contrasts with the widespread, and narrower functional approach of specialized experts)
• Strategy defines expediency and, in the end, quality of local (functional) improvements;
• Logic of Value Creation Approach for internal and external clients; only on this basis can a real client-based approach be achieved;
• Value (Product) is created only by means of business processes;
• Solutions can not be reduplicated, but there are business principles that have proven their effectiveness in various situations.

SCG consultants regularly lecture in leading Ukrainian universities and business schools.

At the Kyiv Mohyla Business School (KMBS) we regularly lecture on "Business-Process Management" "Change Management," partly "Philosophy of Business." We also teach selectively such courses as "Management Effectiveness in Business and BSC" and "Process-Oriented Cost Management Systems (ABC)".
