GMP

The Global Management Program (GMP) was introduced to develop a leadership mindset among the participants. While gaining coaching skills and learning to improve interdisciplinary competencies, participants also have the opportunity to create strong bonds and partnerships with TDK Network members. GMP was designed to create awareness about the complexity of general management and extend knowledge beyond one's own job function. There are two GMP programs each year that take place on a global scale. During the GMP, participants travel to TDK locations all over the world and develop a deeper understanding of TDK as a company.

GAMP

The Global Advanced Management Program (GAMP) was introduced in collaboration with world-class business schools like IESE, IMD, and Shizenkan and aims to further increase leadership competencies on an advanced level. The goal of GAMP is to support and empower managers in their transition from Management to General Management and further to higher-level roles, by improving their leadership, strategy, innovation and change management competencies so that they can better manage complex strategic issues. In addition, GAMP provides participants with the ideal opportunity to network, thus creating even stronger personal bonds across the entire TDK Group. GAMP will be offered yearly on a global scale and is specifically targeted and tailored to the training requirements of upper management.

GCE

The Global Communication & English project is one of the main Global HR initiatives to develop TDK’s global work force. As TDK offices are spread across more than 30 countries, effective English communication is a necessity to improve cooperation and avoid misunderstandings.

A good knowledge of the English language will assist members to further their career within TDK. Therefore, TDK is actively investing in the development of its multinational workforce through projects such as Global Communication & English, whose aim is to assist employees to improve both their communication and English language skills.

Functional IMD

The Functional IMD is designed for future leaders of TDK Group companies to deeply examine TDK’s philosophy from its point of origin, and visit the place where TDK was established and developed. Since 1997, more than 300 managers have attended this seminar. The participants come from various backgrounds, countries and companies comprising the TDK Group. The Functional IMD is one of the tools we use to develop the passion and motivation of our people: by teaching them why and how TDK was established, the origin of the motto and principles, the future image of TDK, and the values that we hope they will embrace. The Functional IMD also aims to enhance networking and collaboration between experienced professionals of TDK Group. As a critical aspect of the learning experience, participants work on a project topic connected to their job function and present the outcome to higher management.
