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 Mizras
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 clients 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 todays rapidly changing and highly competitive environment, the human resource
function plays an increasingly important role in an organisations ultimate success or
failure. Where success was once dependent upon a firms 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
organisations 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.

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

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.

Strategic Human Resources Management
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

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.

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.

Israel are Sunday-Thursday mornings 08:30-13:00, Monday and Thursday afternoons

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.

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.
