Programme details
Leading your organisation
You will work on your own business challenge
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. 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.
Themes that are critical to business 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. We’ll be focusing on leading through complexity and dealing with unique problems that have never or rarely been faced before, and the need for leadership to be more adaptable, collaborative and enabling of others.
We will explore the broader ‘Tides of Change’ faced by many companies:
Technology Recent advances in computing power and a new generation of ‘digital natives’ have accelerated us into a true digital age. How we process information is undergoing radical changes that will impact every industry and function.
Environment and Ethics It is vitally important for almost every company to consider and anticipate the effects of both physical changes to the planet and its resources, as well as the political and social responses to these hot issues.
Institutional Change Structural changes are affecting every industry and sector, from regulatory and globalised change, all the way down to shifts in the engagement of individuals.
A toolset for business impact
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.
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.
Across the workshops, peer learning, coaching and your strategic challenge, you will develop insights, experiences and new skills. 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.
Social Values We’ve experienced three decades
of significant social change, with more to come. Social unrest may be a short- term consequence, but new threats and opportunities also arise as customer and staff expectations evolve.
Demographics Ageing populations, generational
divides, migration, urbanisation and youth underemployment are critical and irreversible trends reshaping society. We are only just beginning to understand their impact on our businesses.
