About the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business
The Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business
(formerly the UWI-Institute of Business) was established in 1989
as a joint venture between the University of the West Indies and
the private sector of Trinidad and Tobago to provide postgraduate
education in business and management.
In October 2005, the Board
of Directors and the University agreed to change the name of the
business school in honour of a $20 million endowment made by Arthur
Lok Jack, one of the Caribbean 's leading entrepreneurs. Lok Jack
GSB has produced more than 1000 graduates to date and has trained
and developed more than 19,000 people on our executive and professional
programmes. In addition we have worked in leading organisations in
the private and public sectors in at least 16 countries in the region
and as far as Africa .
Today, Lok Jack GSB is recognised as the premier
institution for the provision of business and management education,
training and consultancy services in Trinidad and Tobago and the
wider Caribbean region.
Our Vision
To be the leading business school in the Caribbean by 2012, serving as a regional centre for business education, training, consulting and research.
Our Mission
To improve the international competitiveness of people and organisations in the Caribbean through business education, training, consulting and research.
Our Goal
Our goal is to contribute to the development of the human and institutional capacity required to transform the business landscape and shape our own destiny.
Through our comprehensive and integrated programmes and consultancy services, we provide a framework for developing new pathways for achieving sustainable growth and competitiveness.
Executive Education
In this fiercely competitive environment, senior executives must now confront new products, new markets, new technologies, and new rivals armed with fewer resources and less time. The challenge for organizations is to become and remain truly competitive; to focus on value creation and sustainable growth; and to lead and maximize human talents. This requires new knowledge, fresh ideas and different perspectives. Our executive programmes are designed to equip senior executives and high potential managers with the tools and strategies needed to cope with the challenges of today while anticipating the opportunities of tomorrow.
Professional Development
We offer a range of professional development and life-long learning opportunities to managers at any point along their career path. These programmes are designed to equip managers with specialist skills and cutting edge management tools that improve performance and ensure continued relevance in an ever-changing landscape.
Customised Programmes
At Lok Jack GSB, we have a strong track record in providing customised programmes to organisations, large and small, in the private and public sectors. We offer both specialist functional programmes as well as broader generalist programmes. Our customised programmes can also be designed to support strategic change initiatives in client organisations.
Consultancy Services
Our consultancy services are designed to support organisations as they struggle with organisational change and transformation initiatives, developing new strategies for enhancing their competitive position, improving business performance, introducing new management systems or developing their human resource capacity. Our focus is as much on the design of business strategies as on their execution. We work in close partnership with our clients, from planning and design right down to implementation.
We invite you to join us on our journey.
