| Summary | This skills-based programme is designed to help Executive MBA participants enhance their professional competence as well as their ability to successfully pitch for promotion or apply to new senior executive roles in a range of organisations. |
| Course description |
The programme has three important strands: diagnosis (to build awareness of personal strengths and developmental needs), delivery (taught input on underpinning concepts to help individuals become aware of the key requirements for effective team work, leadership and communication); and coaching-focused development (individual feedback and 1:1 professional and career coaching to help participants articulate and demonstrate improvement in key skills). At key points on the EMBA, the course provides an integrating role to link in-course skills elements (e.g. presentations, boardroom impact) to personal development goals and achievements.
