You will focus on critical business themes
You will work on your own business challenge
Five cross-cutting themes, that are critical to business performance in today’s economy, will inform and shape the content of each workshop. These include key drivers of change that every business leader needs to understand and grapple with, as well as enablers of growth.
A major benefit of joining the programme will be the space it provides for you to think more strategically about the critical issues you are facing at work. You will have a new forum and network to draw on as you work through a key ‘workplace strategic challenge’, maximising the opportunity for change and improvement.
Our faculty team will deliver the latest research insights in a practical and actionable format that will turn “next practice” into today’s way of working for your business.
This process is primarily an opportunity to do two things: ■ Apply the concepts from the programme to a real-life strategic challenge ■ Leverage the resources of the programme to deliver value and impact for your business.
Innovation For your business to thrive, innovation and improvement is crucial. How do you build organisational capability around innovation, an entrepreneurial mindset to carve out new markets, and achieve success in a highly competitive and rapidly changing landscape?
Executive coaching One-to-one executive coaching will provide the space you need to focus your strategic vision, sharpen your thinking, and reflect on your leadership style and areas for development.
Global business expertise You will learn from Warwick Business School’s passionate and engaging faculty, who will push, encourage and champion you to develop your thinking, resilience and leadership. You will also gain access to key business leaders as speakers, and as part of the wider WBS business network.
Productivity Generating productivity growth is a primary goal for the best managed companies. Investing in technology, process innovation and skill building, while embracing leadership and management best practice to achieve a high-performance workplace, are all keys to competing successfully.
Your workplace strategic challenge
Digital What opportunities does technological progress in the fields of artificial intelligence, blockchain, open APIs, big data, and platforms present for your business? How will this force incumbents and new entrants in your industry to rethink value creation and business model innovation?
A toolset for business impact Across the workshops, peer learning, coaching and your strategic challenge, you will develop insights, experiences and new skills drawn from the five themes. You will be encouraged to build these into your specific set of tools to achieve impact for your personal leadership growth, and to deliver for your business.
Peer learning This will be a key thread through the workshops and project process of the programme. You will discuss and debate ideas in a creative environment, peers will provide a sounding board and challenge for your new thinking. During each workshop a half- day will be set aside for you to meet in facilitated peer learning groups.
Resilience In a dynamic marketplace, the ability of an organisation to respond rapidly to new challenges and seize opportunities is key to sustained success. Does your business demonstrate the strategic adaptability, operational agility and leadership mindset that creates organisational resilience in the face of constant change?
Leadership How do we lead more effectively? How do we lead in a new kind of business environment? How has leadership itself changed? What does that mean for us individually and collectively as leaders?
