When?
Next edition of Leading the Way in Management Development is taking place on 16, 17, and 19 November 2020.
Who should attend?
Deans/directors with 3-5 members of their core management team e.g. associate deans/vice-presidents for academic affairs, research, or major programs, CFOs, heads of administration, etc.
Format
Leading the Way is a three-day strategic retreat with a follow-up virtual session three months later.
- Each participating team should submit, at least one month ahead of the workshop, a 3-5 page overview of their operating environment/markets; their mission, vision and strategy; and their perceived key challenges. Guidelines for these submissions will be distributed by the faculty well in advance of the workshop. Each team should also review the internet sites of other participating teams and be ready to make comments.
- A progressive series of Masterclasses (12 in all) by highly experienced faculty coaches act as "stress tests" to provoke rethinking, refinement, elaboration, or in some cases, complete redrafting of these original submissions.
- The three days wind up with a final Masterclass dedicated to define and then implement 2-3 high-priority "strategic change initiatives", the focus of the "homework" which will precede a half-day Skype session for all teams three months after the workshop itself.
Why attend?
Teams should expect the following main "take-homes":
- A revised perception of the main challenges ahead as well as a thorough rework of strategies and plans to deal with these.
- A shared understanding and commitment by the whole team to tackle these issues and implement the needed changes.
- Very substantial and lasting individual and team learning about the leadership challenges confronting all management development institutions worldwide, and how to think about them and deal with them given the particularities of one’s own institution.
