SKILLING FOR IMPACT
THINKING SKILLS
It's in the challenging moments where you really leave an impact on your team and your organization. Deep and long-lasting thinking skills such as empathy, open-mindedness, perspective and self-analysis stand you in good stead in these circumstances. On this program, the diversity of opinions and worldviews you'll encounter, along with the academic demands and the need to step up in team projects or conceive innovative solutions to real-life business scenarios, will impart the mindset and cognitive abilities you need to flourish as a leader in a complex business landscape.
BEHAVIORAL SKILLS
The theory is all very well, but it's turning that theory into changed behavior that will make you the transformational leader your company, and your career, demand. And with courses covering Leading with Impact, Positive Psychology and Leadership among others, you'll graduate with those behaviors as second nature.
DIGITAL SKILLS
Impactful leadership and behavioral skills will only get you so far in digital transformation if you lack the cutting-edge knowledge to lead the way in emerging tech. This program covers the key technologies that are reshaping the business ecosystem such as blockchain, machine learning and AI and more. Add the chance to put your new tech skills to the test and gain experience with emerging tech in our Labs, and a Capstone Project that pulls everything you've learned together, and you'll graduate as the complete digital transformation and innovation leader.
