QUT partners with MSQ to boost the mid tier market

Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Graduate School of Business Matt McNeice, and Academic Program Coordinator Dr Tony Peloso, will today launch a three year deal with Moore Stephens Queensland to facilitate an integrated leadership management program (LMP). The first of its kind, this revolutionary long term partnering program will position Moore Stephens as a leader of quality corporate education in the mid tier space.

With increasing competition across the mid tier market the burden is on firms to meet the demand for increased leadership skill development required as staff progress through their careers. The landmark decision to partner with QUT to deliver quality corporate education could mark a change in the organisational culture of accounting firms across Australia.

Peter Little, Executive Dean of Business School says, “QUT Business School is proud to extend our long standing partnership with Moore Stephens by delivering its leadership development program to senior managers through to principals. By designing the program collaboratively, we were able to incorporate the appropriate blend of communications, strategy and leadership to meet Moore Stephens business needs.” 

The catalyst for the development of the program was the national engagement survey run by Moore Stephens Australia in 2010 across all 13 offices.

Ken Pickard Managing Director says, “Over a three year period all of our Principals and Executives will have completed the corporate education program with QUT with the majority of our Seniors, Supervisors and Managers also finalising the LMP.”

“The program will provide a stepping stone for those looking to progress their career. We also ensure there is consistency in the leadership and management techniques used throughout Moore Stephens Queensland.”
