Module 1 Strategy and Agility for the 21st Century

This module will provide you with the tools and skills necessary to develop the personal and strategic insights to effectively craft appropriate strategy, evaluate strategic options and make informed strategic decisions. It will demonstrate the importance of business values, ethics, sustainable and socially responsible behaviour to strategic and operational success. An important theme underpinning the entire module will be enhancing creativity and innovation to better foster organisational agility

Module 2 Value Creation and Value Management

This module will focus on thinking strategically to create a value-based culture. Sustaining competitive advantage is about capturing and creating value. Traditionally, the emphasis on capturing value has been about maximising resources and profits. Creating value acknowledges the need to engage stakeholders to determine how to produce outcomes that maximise economic benefits for the company and improve stakeholder experience thereby increasing stakeholder satisfaction.

Module 3 Critical Problem Solving in Progressive Enterprises

This module presents a number of strategies and tools to facilitate effective problem solving. Strategies and tools range from management science techniques such as mathematical optimisation, through to critical thinking and decision-making frameworks. The module will enable reflection on the role of individual personality, values, perceptions, creativity and cognition in problem solving. It will also look at systems thinking.

Module 4 Executive Leadership in Dynamic Environments

This module will focus on the processes of articulating and communicating ‘the vision’ of change and innovation. The capabilities needed to move forward with change and innovation, including entering growth markets and balancing risk and opportunity will also be examined. Significant attention is devoted to the leadership dimension of developing and harnessing capability in support of change and innovation. An important theme running through the entire module will be the question of rising complexity and the ways in which it might best be handled.
