We live in a world that is undergoing profound economic and societal transformation. Old social, cultural and economic models are being challenged, and new models are driven by the need to adapt and geopolitical instabilities. A key factor for managers in all walks of life, from NGOs to charities, educational institutions to the commercial sector is to develop qualities and fundamental skills to achieve their goals.
This course offers the possibility to acquire key competencies that effective managers use by focusing on adapting theoretical tools in real situations, developing interactions experiences during negotiations and proposing operational models that can be used in management situations.
At the heart of the course is the question of analysis, planning and communication and topics and case studies will include problem solving (in groups), time and priority management, decision taking, public speaking, effectiveness of teams, negotiation, “selling" ideas and influence, inspiring others, managing SME (subject-matter experts) and cybersecurity.
Participants will also explore how AI technologies can be leveraged to enhance decision-making processes, streamline operations, and gain valuable insights from vast amounts of data.
Each session offers a case study that illustrates the theme of the session, work in groups and debriefing in the classroom, exchange of points of view, analysis.
