SYSTEMS LEADERSHIP ADVANCED PROGRAMME – LEADING TRANSFORMATION CHANGE


Course Overview

In today's fast-paced operating environment, marked by rapid technological advancement and shifting global dynamics, organisations face an ever-growing array of interconnected challenges. These challenges often stem from the intricate interdependencies within systems, which, if not understood, can lead to short-sighted solutions and unintended consequences. Leaders, particularly in roles requiring strategic oversight, must develop the capacity to think systemically, going beyond immediate fixes to address root causes and leverage opportunities for sustained impact.
