About Galilee International Management Institute

GIMI is an international management training institute, delivering advanced leadership, management and capacity building seminars, to professionals coming from all over the globe. Our International Department offers a core curriculum of over 30 programmes, assigned to various Centres of Excellence:

Agricultural and Environment Training Centre Centre for Strategic Studies Centre for Health Management Centre for Middle East Studies Centre for Capacity Building Development Centre for Higher Education Centre for Economic Development Centre for Transport and Maritime Studies

To complement these, our Programme Development Division designs and implements special training projects tailor-made for the requirements of sponsoring governments, international agencies such as USAID and the World Bank. Among the public and private sector planners, managers and decision-makers trained by GIMI, are directors of environmental agencies, hospitals, port authorities and public transport systems; university vice-chancellors and school principals; business, industrial and NGO executives and countless others entrusted with the planning and implementation of institutional, national and regional renewal and reform. In addition, GIMI works in cooperation with European higher education institutions to offer European accredited Masters and Doctorate programmes.

The Galilee International Management Institute Study Centre at Kibbutz Mizra provides study facilities and accommodations, located seven kilometres outside the city of Nazareth, in the pastoral northern region of Israel. The Study Centre includes modern classrooms equipped with the latest audio-visual aids and a computer laboratory with free Internet and e-mail access. Staying on Kibbutz Mizra offers Galilee International Management Institute programme participants a cultural experience that is unique to Israel. A kibbutz is a communal farm. Kibbutz Mizra’s grounds comprise lawns, gardens, and walking and bicycle paths surrounded by agricultural land. The kibbutz is both the workplace and home of its members, and the kibbutzniks treat Galilee International Management Institute course participants as honoured guests. The kibbutz also attends to participants’ banking and postal needs and provides laundry service. In nearby Nazareth, a city holy to both Christians and Muslims, participants can visit a modern shopping mall, an outdoor Middle Eastern marketplace (souk) and biblical and historical sites.

“Experience Israel”! All programmes include the opportunity to experience Israeli culture. The Institute provides weekend excursions to Israeli tourist attractions, among them archaeological, Biblical, historical and recreational sites. Study tours give programme participants the opportunity to make professional contacts with Israeli colleagues. Galilee International Management Institute has over twenty-five years’ experience designing and implementing advanced leadership and management training programmes and capacity building seminars for senior-level planners, managers and decision makers from transitional countries around the globe. Tailored and off-the-shelf courses are offered for individuals and groups of all sizes. Courses can be delivered in the following languages: Arabic, English, French, Hebrew, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

Galilee Institute also delivers many custom-made programmes. This specialist area has now become an integral part of GIMI. Customised training programmes are designed and delivered in response to a client’s request for training in a specific area and are created for groups of individuals from an organisation, institute or company. These comprehensive training programmes may be held in-country, at Galilee Institute Israel or both in-country and at Galilee Institute. The flexible nature of these customised programmes ensures that the clients’ needs regarding programme duration, content and dates are met.

The Institute also has the facility to conduct on-site training programmes (“In-Country Training”) in Africa, Asia, central and eastern Europe, Latin America and elsewhere throughout the transitional world.

Our 500-member faculty comprises internationally recognised academic experts and expert practitioners in their fields. They develop the curriculum, deliver the lectures, conduct the workshops, develop small group activities and supervise participants’ final projects.

Galilee International Management Institute graduates are expected to return to their home countries, communities and institutions with applicable knowledge and problem-solving skills. With this in mind, our faculty guides programme participants in project planning and results evaluation.

The Galilee International Management Institute mission is to upgrade the standard of living in transitional countries and to sustain development through capacity building. Galilee Institute addresses these countries’ need for administrative leadership, believing that human efficiency is the crucial factor in nations’ reaching their full socioeconomic potential. The Institute aims to share Israeli practices and innovations applicable to participants’ own nation-building requirements; to provide an international meeting place where professionals learn from top Israeli academic and professional experts and, of equal importance, from each other and, within our own neighbourhood, to build bridges of peace in the Middle East.

Introduction

Since its establishment in 1987 (as Galilee College), Galilee Institute has offered management training and capacity building seminars to senior officials and decision makers from around the globe: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin and North America, the Middle East and the Pacific. Our educational mission is based on a belief that human efficiency is the crucial factor in nations’ reaching their full socio-economic potential. Therefore in every organisation, it is vital that the personnel are trained to their full potential as they are the major key to significant progress. In today’s rapidly changing and highly competitive environment, the human resource function plays an increasingly important role in an organisation’s ultimate success or failure. Where success was once dependent upon a firm’s ability to discover and manage natural resources; success today goes to the organisations that most effectively discover and manage their human resources. At the beginning of the 21st century, Human Resources (HR) management is a fast-moving area that requires its practitioners to have much more than simply skills of dealing with people. They are now required to have in-depth understanding of organisational processes in general and a thorough knowledge of their own organisation’s strategies and tactics. Furthermore, they are expected to be fully conversant with the requirements of the external marketplace in order to lead the personnel of the company to success.

4

Objectives

The goal of the HR management seminar is to prepare human resource professionals to deal with the complexities and challenges of managing today's workforce.

Participants will return to their countries equipped with the latest practical tools of HR and having enhanced their capacity to:

Understand the benefits of increased organisational and managerial effectiveness

Motivate their employees; thus advancing the whole organisation

Determine and manage the strategic role of the HR function within the organisation

Use problem solving, analytical and interpersonal skills that can be transferred, with confidence, to the workplace

Identify, analyse and respond to social, economic and legal factors influencing the operations of their employing organisations and its HRM policies

Human Resources Management in Israel

Dr. Javier Simonovich 10:00 – 12:00

HRM is the discipline of organising and managing Human Resources in such a way that these resources deliver everything required to complete a project within the defined scope, quality, time and cost constraints. A project is a temporary and one-time endeavour undertaken to create a unique product or service that brings about beneficial change or added value. The property of being a temporary and one-time undertaking contrasts with processes, or operations, which are permanent or semi-permanent ongoing functional work to create the same product or service repeatedly. The management of these two systems requires varying technical skills and philosophy, hence requiring the development of project management with Israeli perspectives, approach and experience.

Prof. Ilan Meshulam 08:30 – 12:00

The objective of the lecture is to provide a strategic framework for understanding Human Resources management in an organisational context. The lecture presents an integrative approach to Human Resources, emphasising the strategic approach to its management. The lecture aims at providing the students with good understanding of the various contingencies and alternatives facing managers in designing Human Resources integrated systems, in congruence with the organisational environment and its business strategy.

Innovation and Organisational Change

Mr. Eli Harari 13:30 – 17:30

These days are times of change; both nationally and globally and these changes happen at an astonishingly fast pace, with an intensity that has never been known before; cultural, technological, industrial, locational and personal changes to name a few. All changes require individuals to cope, to adjust and to somehow stay ahead of the "game". So the question is: what kind of organisation is necessary to provide a stable base and environment that can ride the wings of change, encourage innovation and inspire people to be at their very best? In this presentation, we will explore and discuss the needs of an organisation that fosters change; how to think in ways that are strategic and creative and the kind of interpersonal communication and conduct that are vital to the spirit of innovation.

Building Influence in the HR Role

Mrs. Dekel Levinson 08:30 -12:30

In today's organisations, the HR function is becoming more and more strategic and influential. Consequentially, the related challenges for the HR Professional are also steadily increasing. To be effective and successful in their role, HR Professionals need to have the following attributes: to be excellent communicators; centres of knowledge in their expertise area; have the ability to build outstanding relationships; be exceptional influencers with the ability to impact on the decisions made within their organisations.

During this workshop we will:

Discuss what "HR Professionalism" means to us, in the context of our organisations and roles that we perform

Identify the different encounters and interactions we have with our customers and the people that we work with in the organisations we work for. What are the specific challenges of these interactions and what needs to be achieved in order to influence our desired outcome?

Learn about different roles of the HR Professional that can change from encounter to encounter and also within the same encounter itself

Learn about how to be authentic and understand what are our "needs and wants" from the encounter, that will drive our behaviour in the desired direction.

Understand our customer's "needs and wants" and how to overcome resistance if we encounter it.

Galilee Institute Policy toward Sexual Harassment

In Israel, sexual harassment is both illegal and unacceptable. Sexual harassment may be described as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, or other physical and expressive behaviour of a sexual nature especially when this conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's academic or professional performance or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive employment or educational environment. Galilee International Management Institute is committed to attaining excellence through diversity. Diversity infuses richness and fosters strength within our international programmes, focusing on respect for all human differences, including age, cultural, ethnic, racial, linguistic, gender, socioeconomic, educational, religious, sexual orientation, and ability. Our participants are valued for bringing a balance into perspective with their skills and strengths, to our programmes. Understanding and embracing the diversity of our participants from different origins and ideologies brings an important element to the Institute. Galilee International Management Institute is gifted with an experienced workforce equipped with cultural skills, helping to maintain excellence through diversity, providing an environment free from discrimination and harassment. Galilee Institute seeks to ensure that the community is free from all forms of sexual harassment in the educational setting. Complaints of sexual harassment will be responded to promptly. Confidentiality will be maintained as far as is possible. Individuals found in violation of the sexual harassment policy are subject to disciplinary action, which will include an early departure from Israel.

Currency

The Israeli currency unit is called the "New Shekel" and the rate of exchange is approximately NS 3.50 per US$1.00 (kindly bear in mind that the currency rate may change). It is customary to use New Shekels everywhere; foreign currency is not generally accepted in local shops. Please ensure that you have New Shekels when going shopping. The exchange of foreign currency can be made at any bank. Normal banking hours in Israel are Sunday-Thursday mornings 08:30-13:00, Monday and Thursday afternoons 16:30-19:00.

Transport

There is a shared taxi service called a "sherut" and this operates on inter-urban lines collecting and carrying passengers along fixed routes. The price of a seat in a shared taxi service ("sherut") is similar to the ordinary bus fare. Alternatively there is what is termed a “private” taxi service; this is far more expensive than the “Sherut” but this service is operated on a 24 hours/7 days a week basis. Should you require a private taxi, please ask your social coordinator to arrange this for you. It is important to note the following, when using a “Private” taxi: It is required by law, that within a city, the driver has to operate the meter; it is up to the passenger to ensure that the meter is on BEFORE the journey is started. If you require the cab to take you from one city to another, you and the driver MUST agree a price before you start your journey. Bus Routes and Rates -

Customs of the Country

The Sabbath

Israel has a five and a half day working week; Sunday to Friday morning. The day of rest is Saturday. The Jewish Sabbath - "Shabbat" in Hebrew - begins at sunset on Friday and lasts until nightfall on Saturday. Muslims and Christians have their day of rest on Friday and Sunday, respectively.

Buses and trains do not run on Saturdays, except in Haifa and Nazareth; only taxi services are available between cities. For the majority of the population this is the day for outings. Banks, shops and some restaurants are closed. The Sabbath is also the main day for visiting and relaxation at home.

Food

In a country with such a diverse population, it is impossible to speak of a national style of cooking. In general, more poultry than meat is eaten; chicken and turkey are especially popular. Vegetables, salads and fruits are plentiful, and there is a wide selection of dairy products.

The Jewish dietary law, known as "kashrut", is observed in many of the public eating places, such as restaurants, hotels, university dining rooms and cafeterias, as well as many private homes. The basic "kashrut" law is that only animals that have cloven hooves and chew the cud, and only fish which have fins and scales, may be eaten. Therefore, meat, such as pig, rabbit and hare, or any type of shellfish is forbidden according to the Jewish law. In addition to this, meat and dairy products are not cooked and eaten together at the same meal.

However, regardless of these dietary laws, some restaurants in Israel (including Kibbutz Mizra dining room) can and do serve pork or mixed dairy-meat dishes.
