The programme is delivered in two-phases: The first phase includes a suite of six modules (detailed below) that address key development areas for leaders and entrepreneurial professionals in the ICT sector.

The second phase involves working on an applied and structured project. By conducting research in the context of your organisation and specialist area, you build your personal expertise while contributing to important management issues in the organisation.

The research involved will typically focus on research ‘in’ the organisation rather than ‘on’ the organisation. It is more likely to involve cross-disciplinary work, thus contributing to your own practice and development.

This programme is delivered via a blended learning approach with 12 full day workshops.

What participants are saying

“Peer discussion has been hugely beneficial and rewarding and the quality of the lecturers is also very high. “

“I am already seeing a difference in my day to day work based on the learnings already received from only two modules, being able to apply thought leadership and methodologies at this early stage in just the first term is also hugely rewarding”

“One of the modules on Team Leadership focused specifically on Global Virtual Teaming and this is one of the most applicable subjects obviously during this covid limited period. As a course overall though it is helping me to focus more on how i can drive my career in innovation and position myself to grow in this area. “]
