The second edition of The Academy of International Funeral Top Management is launched.

According to QS Latin America University Rankings 2023, Tecnológico de Monterrey ranks fourth with a score of 94. 7, this evaluation is based on the recognition and academic prestige of each institution, which involves various aspects such as: employers, research, resources and internationalization.

The first generation of The Academy of International Funeral Top Management was graduated in July 2023 by 50 professionals of different nationalities. They learned how to measure leadership through the 360° Assessment (Leadership Circle Profile), how to provide a global approach to the competencies that the funeral business leader must assume in order to apply it in their day-to-day decision making, how to promote the integral performance of the collaborators of the work teams and how to achieve competitiveness and sustainability. One of the master classes was led by President of FIAT-IFTA, Mr. Marek Cichewicz. In this first generation, the sum of the experience of all the participants allowed the classes to become authentic lectures led by the professors and enriched by the participants, providing different perspectives and expanding the business vision under the highest standards of excellence, which are undoubtedly vital to improve our future as leaders in our sector.

Now the second call for International business school for senior managers is launched. The focus remains the same: to generate training spaces that open doors and allow leaders to have greater visibility and, as a result, exponential growth. The funeral industry is undergoing significant changes in their approaches to organic and inorganic growth, and leaders must be aware of this, betting and investing in new ways of developing people, but especially talent.

Regional Sales Director Gayosso Group
First, being part of an interdisciplinary group with people who work in the same line of business gave me a richness and made me realize that in the company we are advanced in terms of processes, products and tools, among other things. Secondly, it allowed me to reinforce and learn knowledge, put it into practice, present it with examples, receive feedback and, in the same way, contribute to others. Third, it is an enriching experience that fosters cordiality and interaction between companies in the same sector, in order to strengthen good practices in the industry. Fourth, the selected topics deserve a special mention, because they are really valuable and applicable to daily activities, no matter the specialty or position, each topic was well thought out and the speakers have the in-depth knowledge to deliver them, the vast majority of them give a lecture on their subject. Thank you Gayosso for promoting the development of employees and motivating my work.
