Developing skills of SME middle managers

The Management Centre provides management and development services to organizations in non-profit, private and public sectors in TCC. One of the projects realized at the MCC is focused on the developing skills of the middle managers at the local SMEs in TCC. The project started in December 2008 and will last till December 2010 and it is partly funded by the European Commission.


The project is managed by Eliz Tefik who is supported by Memduh Erismen, the PDPM local consultant, and Anna Čermáková, KNO expert. As a result of this project, 5 management courses provided by the MCC will be accredited by the Middlesex University, GB. These courses have been defined based on extensive needs analysis conducted among SME managers in TCC. Further on, 150 SME managers will be trained by local trainers to develop their key managerial skills and after their successful completion they will receive internationally accredited certificates.


The trainings and work on individual case studies will help SME managers to increase their businesses performance and competitiveness. The PDPM approach has been applied to map the past, present and future milestones of the project, define the deliverables per each milestone. As Eliz mentioned, the deliverables track sheet is very helpful in planning coming events, discussing the commitments within the team and supervising the deadlines. This will be very good source of information for preparation of the interim report. Since December up to now Eliz has been able to meet most of the planned deliverables.
