Powering De Heus greatest potentials
De Heus aims to become a learning organization where growth is celebrated, knowledge sharing thrives, and learning agility is encouraged. De Heus does this by providing various learning opportunities for their employees and managers across the organisation. One of the flagship leadership programmes that De Heus has been organizing in the past two years is Management Excellence Programme (MEP).
The MEP 2024 Journey
This year, MEP, under the facilitation of our key partner Better Future, features 28 participants from 14 different nationalities across 12 distinct disciplines. Cohorts 2 and 3 consist of 2 learning immersive weeks abroad with group mentoring sessions, culminating in a case study presentation, then followed by various virtual learning interventions.
My time in the MEP immersive week has proven to be transformative, I am struck by the growth I've witnessed in myself and my peers. The programme is a mix of personal development, leadership tools, and hands-on problem-solving providing a unique learning experience.

MEP participant – Strategic Project Manager, De Heus Brazil
It was a different training experience. The fact of two companies working together to meet the objective was very enriching. A very intense and hard-working week, with lots of emotions and self-reflection.

Key activities throughout the programme
During the programme there were several key activities, such as:
- Site visit in Indonesia (Mar 2024) and Germany (Apr 2024)
- Group learning sessions
- Final presentation of the business case
We saw a lot of reflectiveness and willingness to look at themselves. There was a clear switch from externalizing and focusing on “difficult situations” outside of them, to focusing on internal barriers and limiting beliefs. Realizing that leadership always starts with you.

This MEP programme is one of the finest programmes I attended so far, and I recognize it from its unique blend of objectives-based structure to take the best out of us. Moreover, the facilitators played a vital role in nurturing us to increase our potential.

My MEP participation was truly a transformative experience. I engaged in practical business cases and gained invaluable insights from fellow participants and facilitators. Not only did I enhance my business acumen, but I also embarked on a journey of self-discovery, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation of my strengths and weaknesses.
