Strategic Policy Leadership

During a time when national governments, international organisations and planners worldwide are faced with managing large-scale institutional transformation required to remain relevant during these evolving global times, effective and visionary policy leadership is critical.  This course addresses all critical aspects of a resilient organization from problem solving, strategic planning, policy analysis, decision-making, direction setting, and policy implementation.

Today’s critical challenges facing both public and private sector leaders demand inter-disciplinary knowledge to promote a better understanding of the complex and intersectional issues which shape these threats, opportunities, risks and trends.  They also require awareness of, and proficiency in, appropriate frameworks and tools to help organize thinking, socialize such thinking through all levels of an organization and remain sufficiently agile to accommodate further change.
