Learn how to implement leadership in your organisational strategy


Organisations are increasingly bringing their learning and development activity in-house. This has resulted in a demand for those who can skillfully implement custom workforce development opportunities.


On this six-week course, you’ll gain the skills to design and implement an organisational strategy that enhances the leadership capability in your business.


You’ll discover expert tools and techniques to help you gain buy-in from stakeholders, understand the needs of your organisation, and design a program leveraging AI tools and industry expertise.


Armed with this knowledge, you’ll not only enhance your career prospects but also drive a positive transformation for current and future leaders.


Gain an understanding of a competency framework


You’ll start by exploring the elements that make up a successful leadership development strategy and gain the crucial resource of a five-step process to follow.


Next, you’ll discover the importance of research in understanding your organisation’s specific needs and the significance of a well-defined leadership competency framework in shaping your strategy.


Design a customised leadership development strategy


To help you design customised leadership strategies, you’ll master the basics of learning methods.


With this knowledge, you’ll be able to use different learning approaches to suit the needs of your team and business.


Explore AI applications


You’ll then look at technologies that are shaping the future of leadership development. In particular, you’ll consider the use of AI and its emerging opportunities.


Finally, you’ll gain the skills to implement and measure your leadership development strategy.


By the end, you’ll have the expertise to embed leadership development in your organisation and secure the talented leaders of the future.


This course is designed for key staff in organisations to understand how to design a leadership development strategy – which is by far the most common workforce development strategy within a business.
