Introduction
Evolve your leadership perspective and learn to develop a responsive business strategy that can adapt to a changing global context.
Organizations operate within the context of their market environment – their competitors, suppliers, and customers – but also within a broader environment that includes social, political, and regulatory forces.
This program will offer business leaders an evolved perspective on these critical forces. It provides strategies, language, frameworks, and tools to analyze and respond to these factors for a competitive advantage.
Guided by Professor David Bach, Deputy Dean for Executive Programs and Professor in the Practice of Management, this program provides participants with an enhanced strategic skill set for navigating a changing global business context. Bach’s interviews with several leading practitioners provide an “on-the-ground” perspective. You’ll engage with topical, global case studies and continually apply your learning to your organization through discussion forums and reflective journaling.
Finally, you’ll complete analysis for business change and success, and learn how to strategically engage with stakeholders. You’ll also get the opportunity to interact with the thoughts, experiences, and opinions of a diverse and international group of participants, and grow your global network online.
