Executive Development Programme in Leadership and Change Management

Organization Behaviour

About Programme

Senior professionals excel in their function, then meet a different set of challenges in broader roles. Reading organisational dynamics, deciding strategically and leading through complexity call for capabilities beyond technical skill.

“How do I build the full set of leadership capabilities a senior role actually demands?”

Most leadership programmes focus on self-development alone. That matters, though it leaves a real gap — effective senior leaders need four capabilities working together.

Pedagogy

This program is designed with a pedagogical approach that emphasizes active participation, reflection, and collaborative learning. We firmly believe that the best methodology for effective learning involves creating opportunities for participants to engage in meaningful conversations, learn from each others experiences, and apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. To achieve this, we have incorporated the following key elements into the program:

Participative pedagogy

-

The pedagogy is participative with numerous opportunities to contribute. We consider your knowledge and build on it, ensuring active engagement rather than passive listening.

Case Discussions:

Real-world case studies will be used to explore and analyze various leadership and change management challenges. Through lively discussions facilitated by expert faculty, participants will gain insights into different perspectives, approaches, and best practices.

Immediate workplace application:

Custom AI tools

let you practice concepts on your actual challenges, not generic case studies. Youll develop solutions for real problems youre facing right now.

Group Work

: Collaborative group activities and projects will be assigned to foster teamwork and encourage participants to learn from one another (peer learning). By working together, sharing experiences, and tackling complex scenarios, participants will deepen their understanding of leadership and change management principles.

Online Simulation:

As part of the program, participants will have the opportunity to engage in an online simulation. This simulation will provide a realistic virtual environment where participants can apply their leadership and change management skills, make strategic decisions, and experience the consequences of their actions.

By incorporating these pedagogical methods, we aim to create a rich and interactive learning experience that goes beyond traditional classroom lectures. Participants will actively engage in thought-provoking discussions, gain practical insights, and develop the necessary skills to address real-world leadership and change management challenges
