Course Overview
You will work in a group of no more than 20 on this part-time course. In the morning you will discuss the theoretical and practical applications of various topics such as strategy, HR, continuous improvement, leadership, and so on. You will apply and practice these ideas in the group to develop the confidence to begin using them in the workplace. As the course progresses you will develop a greater say in shaping the content and delivery of these sessions. Afternoons typically begin with a ‘reading club’ where a topical paper or book is discussed in relation to the earlier session. This session aims to develop your confidence in engaging with scholarly material. After this, you will undertake group work to discuss the practical application of the material in the workplace. This typically takes the form of action learning but other group processes will be used as well.
