Advanced Change Leadership for High Performance
We’re strong believers in the need to translate learning into action, and you’ll find the practical support and mentoring you need to deliver real change and effective leadership.
How it works
Our approach is based on blended learning, giving you the best possible combination of e-learning, one-to-one coaching and mentoring, webinars, and peer-to-peer exchanges of ideas and experience. You’ll also access your individual online Action Plan, and we’ll work with you to help translate learning into practical ideas for change in your workplace.
You’ll access all your individual programme material on our interactive Fresh Thinking Labs e-learning platform including films, case studies, articles, practical tools and downloadable resources, organised in intuitive, clearly explained, action-oriented themes.
Your online Learning Log allows you to capture key points from each theme, and to explore how you could apply them in practice. This is how we add tutor comments, assess your progress, and avoid the need for lengthy assignments.
Fresh Thinking Labs also enables you to connect with people on the Programme from other organisations through discussion forums, and a ‘search and connect’ facility helps you find those with similar interests. We’ll make bespoke introductions, and invite you to take part in themed webinars to share experiences and challenges with others.
While you study in your own way and at your own pace, we’ll keep in regular contact to ensure that you have all the advice and support you need. For most participants, this flexible Programme will involve circa 40 hours e-learning and assessment, a minimum 8 hours of one-to-one tuition, plus monthly webinars and workshops on key topics.
