GIA Business Development Strategies Class:

How to Succeed While Others Fail in these Challenging Times.

As a public benefit institute, here at GIA part of our responsibility is to provide services to help the trade develop. This is even more important now.

The GIA Business Development Strategies, is an intense, interactive five-day class designed to help jewellery businesses and business people cope with the current economic climate and develop ideas and strategies to advance. The material is focused, streamlined and covers exactly what you need to run a successful jewellery operation.

Break away from the "it worked yesterday - it will work tomorrow" mentality.

The global marketplace is dramatically different than it used to be. Strategies that worked five years ago – even last year – are tired, worn, and ineffective.

Who should attend?

Developed specifically for people with an interest in jewellery business management, this intensive programme teaches you the fundamental skills you need to produce results. In five days, you acquire the knowledge and skills required to effectively and successfully operate an international jewellery business. This programme will help propel your company – and your career.

Skills that help you compete in the international jewellery market

Online globalization, new trade practices, and the vertical integration of the diamond trade have changed how jewellery companies operate, compete, and succeed. Navigating your business through the ever-changing and increasingly competitive marketplace will take a lot of effort – and a lot of knowledge. You need solid strategies, a clear vision, and keen insight if you're going to chart and achieve growth.

  • How to survive the economic downturn and thrive
