Program Overview

In this comprehensive two-part program, an expert in strategic leadership concentrates on human resource management from both strategic and consultative perspectives. Your organizational experiences will be used as the foundation for identifying relevant issues and applying business lessons throughout the program. Delivering the course content in shorter sessions spread over long periods rather than as multi-day intensive sessions will give you time to reflect on the concepts and materials, integrate them into your work responsibilities, and experiment with new work styles and approaches. Accordingly, you will return to Part II of this course with a higher level of engagement and greater insight into strategies for more strategic and systemic leadership of the people function in your organization.
