Academy of Senior International

Funeral Management

In a sector as warm and complex as it is today the funeral

industry, it is necessary to have training tools that help

us to have an open mind to identify trends and markets

that we will face in the coming years, associated with

the demand that demographic evolution will bring.

Through a model of International business school

born The Academy of International Funeral Top

Management, sponsored by Gayosso Group and

taught by the Tecnológico de Monterrey, a university

recognized worldwide for its prestige and one of the

most important in America, in its educational offer

has an important business school that has trained

hundreds of thousands of graduates of recognized

reputation. 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.
