Overview

Professional skills, leadership and performance improvement in 21st Century at all levels are becoming increasingly dynamic and complex. Both the public and private sector organisations are confronted by environmental factors such as economic, political, sociological, technological, and legal challenges. The need for leaders and managers at all levels to successfully meet these challenges requires a comprehensive appreciation and understanding of their roles, goals and the expected competencies. The course will be facilitated by world renowned experts in Leadership and Management; Human Resources Management and Personnel Development; Interpersonal Skills and Talent Management; and Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation. In this course, our experts and consultants will share the peak skills that can optimize staff performance to attract and retain talent and help them develop the skills that keep your organization competitive.

This four-day workshop has been designed to focus on the professional skills which enable people to develop effective performance across a wide range of settings since the survival of most organisations in this dynamic and complex environment rest squarely on how they leverage on these key skills.

The workshop will explain how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is designed to make various human tasks easier. Participants will therefore realise how much AI has the potential to make our lives better in almost all fields. It gives us the tools necessary to learn from and capitalise on human experience and perform complex tasks such as recommending solutions based on processing large amounts of data. In addition, participants will have insight into critical analysis; interactive and team working; creativity; and problem solving.

Future leaders and decision makers will learn effective techniques and approaches to make better choices. Participants will begin to understand the context of their organisations, gather information and assess alternatives; they will also be able to make decisions and develop ways to implement those decisions.

The course also aims to enable leaders and decision makers to introduce fit for purpose leadership styles and approaches to their organisation’s effective transformation. 

Using participants’ own organizations as cases, participants will explore how and when they can participate usefully in the social and economic life of the organization and look for opportunities to start their own businesses and improve the performance of businesses.
