Administrators from ICC's top Associates take the pathway to success

Senior administrators from the International Cricket Council's top Associate Members have been in England this week attending an intensive five-day course designed to develop a targeted high-performance pathway.

The ICC has organised this course for chief executives, national coaches and directors from Bermuda, Canada, Ireland, Kenya, Netherlands and Scotland in conjunction with the World Academy of Sport at its Manchester Business School headquarters.

The specialist programme covers topic areas including strategic management in a changing environment, talent identification and recruitment, business models for sport, talent development and presentation, organisational design, stakeholder mapping, international competition scheduling and athlete services and transition.

Jon Long, ICC's Manager of Member Services and Corporate Affairs, said: "The ICC takes the development needs of its Members very seriously and is well placed through this partnership with the World Academy of Sport to deliver a practical educational programme that produces clear outcomes that can be implemented on the ground in each nation."

Manchester Business School is recognised as one of the premier business institutes in Europe. Since its formation in 1965, the school has become an internationally renowned centre of excellence for management studies.

Director of the World Academy of Sport Chris Solly said: "We are excited to be working with the ICC on this project. We believe that one of our key strengths is our flexible and outcome-driven approach to learning through tailored programmes designed to meet the specific needs of our partners."

The course is being managed by the ICC High Performance Manager Richard Done and attended by between two and four delegates from each of the six high-performance Members with an additional observer representing Cricket South Africa.

The BCB can confirm that President, Mr. Reginald Pearman, Executive Director, Mr. Neil Speight and National Coach, Mr. Gus Logie are in attendance at this course - manditory for all CEO's and National Coaches.
