Course Overview
This course focuses on empowering individuals and shaping the future workforce. Participants will explore advanced performance management strategies, design innovative rewards systems, and address the considerations of HR in the digital age.
This programme provides a focused foundation in strategic thinking, analysis, and design for leaders and managers involved in shaping strategy within their organizations. It supports participants in stepping back from daily operations to clarify direction, frame strategic choices, and build plans that are grounded, realistic, and future-fit. Participants assess their organizational context — understanding internal constraints, external pressures, and key strategic issues. From there, they explore how to apply structured thinking tools to manage complexity, test assumptions, and prioritise with intent. The course introduces a practical, end-to-end strategy design process, while also addressing the cultural, stakeholder, and sustainability factors that affect strategic clarity and alignment. Throughout the second week, participants engage with a series of frameworks and peer discussions to help apply new thinking to live challenges. By the end of the programme, they will have a clearer view of where their organization stands, a sharper understanding of how to shape direction, and a practical approach to building alignment around strategic priorities.
This is a practical, applied course for leaders seeking to strengthen their strategic competence and increase their impact in complex organizational environments.
