AN EXPERIENCE TO ACCELERATE AND AMPLIFY YOUR IMPACT
Our unique approach mirrors real-world situations to expose you to them “in the wild” as a way of preparing you to deal with future business challenges to maximum effect.
Impact is the difference between trying and achieving—and bridging that gap takes specific skills. A career in business is about overcoming tough challenges daily, but your strengths alone won’t enable you to do that. Faced with difficult problems, difficult situations and, at times, difficult people, it takes more than just knowledge and theoretical training to move things forward. That's why we've crafted the Master in Management & Strategy to be transformative, ensuring you undergo profound experiences that fundamentally alter how you perceive and approach challenges. And it will give you the experience to leverage everything you take from it into your career.
Harness your determination to succeed, your dedication and experience, and assert yourself in the workplace. Critical reasoning, problem-solving and creative thinking are all skills that will help you stand out from a crowded pool of like-minded professionals. The program’s emphasis on leadership, with modules on influence and persuasion, debate, negotiation and collaboration, ensure you develop attributes that will make you the go-to person in a dynamic and complex workplace. Learn to navigate the friction and turbulence that is part and parcel of the corporate world, devising innovative responses to pressing needs by being exposed to these scenarios for real.
MAKE THINGS HAPPEN...
In today’s rapidly changing business world, success lies in developing and practicing the future-proof skills that keep you ahead of the curve. The Master in Management & Strategy goes beyond teaching what’s happening today and focuses on optimizing the abilities that will be ever-present in the business landscape no matter what tomorrow holds.
A recent survey by the World Economic Forum found that if you can develop your critical thinking, analysis and problem-solving skills, as well as self-management skills such as active learning, resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility, you'll be well-positioned to thrive in the workplace of tomorrow. In this unique simulation you’ll master the mindset, build the confidence to make an impact and get out there to achieve, and surpass, your ambitions.
...WITH THE RIGHT IMPACT SKILLS
To secure the most sought-after roles, you have to prove yourself again and again. That’s why in this program you will test your tech, thinking and behavioral skills— so you’ve already shown you’re the real deal when you graduate.
In international business, finance and STEM—where impact skills are often lacking—social and emotional intelligence are absolutely key. Leaders need to be more human, displaying traits that are only truly built through practical experience and exposure to real workplace environments. And you have to combine that mindset effectively with technical expertise to accelerate your journey to the next best you, and in the process, down your chosen career path.
SKILLING FOR IMPACT
THINKING SKILLS
Business is about problem-solving, but anyone can solve simple problems. Companies in the business, finance and STEM spheres place a premium on individuals who have the ability to create the most value by analyzing a range of approaches, especially those who can draw upon previous experience of having handled them. Making an impact comes with exploring different angles to problems and that’s why we place an emphasis on creative thinking skills, so you can bring fresh perspectives to challenges with no obvious solution, and then set about actually trying to solve them. Changing the way you think takes time and practice. By placing you in a practical simulation of the tests you’ll face, you’ll road-test your skills, perfecting them until thinking for impact becomes an ingrained mindset.
BEHAVIORAL SKILLS
Your impact is directly defined by the actions you take. The Master in Management & Strategy focuses on behavioral awareness, placing you in real-life scenarios that will simulate—or actually form part of—the real world of business. The modern workplace demands collaboration, negotiation and debate, so we’ll help you build up those traits to make you more productive and better able to navigate conflict. This is as much an experience as a program of study, so you’ll have the time and situational exposure to cultivate those behaviors so they come naturally to you. Behavior is like a muscle, and we’ll train you to build yours up for peak performance.
DIGITAL SKILLS
It’s no secret that being comfortable in a digital setting is a prerequisite for today’s business world. Even for digital natives, though, there’s a difference between knowing how to use technology and knowing how to harness it to boost your performance at work. In the Master in Management & Strategy you’ll master data-based decision-making, developing an understanding of how to collect, analyze and visualize data to make a compelling business case. In short, you’ll learn, by doing, to make data work for you. A highly prized asset in the world of business, finance and STEM, the ability to glean actionable insights from mass information will undoubtedly drive a successful career in these fields.
IMPACT SKILLS ACCELERATOR
To navigate the dynamic landscape of work successfully, you need to develop enduring impact skills that will journey with you throughout your career, undeterred by any social, digital, or economic shifts. This is where the Impact Skills Accelerator comes in as a crucial component of your Master in Management that will help you develop and refine an essential and unique set of impact skills through comprehensive training. You will be able to think critically, communicate effectively, collaborate with diverse teams, adapt to change.... and really make things happen in the workplace and beyond.
