Sanjeev Bhar - New Delhi

Ecolé Hòtelière de Lausanne (EHL) is promoting its Lausanne Executive Education (LEE) Programmes 2008 for corporate executives in the hospitality industry currently working in general management position or above with the theme 'Strategic Trends & Developments'.

Giving details about the programme, Georgette Davey, consultant with Lausanne Hospitality Consulting, EHL, informed, "LEE Programmes are promoted globally via our website and through a range of hospitality publications in Europe and worldwide. EHL has both winter and summer programmes. The former will have eight modules in four streams and the latter with 30 modules in five streams, including a new stream on strategy."

LEE has launched the winter programme this year. "It will follow a similar format as our Summer Executive Education three-day module in different disciplines like Operations, Finance, Leadership & Management and Marketing," informed Davey. According to her, these modules provide opportunities for corporate management level staff in hospitality to update and enhance their knowledge through topics specific to their needs. It will also enable them to go back to the classroom to learn and identify the way trends originate. The Corporate Management Programme is a five-day programme targeting executives who are currently working in general management positions or above. There are five disciplines including strategy, finance, marketing and human resource delivered in a focused manner. Participants who attend 20 days of executive education through EHL within three consecutive years qualify for a Proficiency in Hospitality Management Certificate.

Ecolé Hòtelière de Lausanne (EHL) has a tie-up with the FHRAI Institute of Hospitality Management in India for the undergraduate programme. Talking about how the FHRAI members can be benefited, she informed, "We provide an opportunity for Indian executives to come to Lausanne and FHRAI members are offered a discount on tuition. We also work with major Indian hotel companies."
