In responseto emerging opportunities and challenges, TEXEM and the University of Oxford’s Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment have collaborated to provide an executive development programme. The four day programme – “Transformations in Governance, Creating Sustainable Solutions” – will deliver senior public and private sector leaders with the core competencies necessary to capitalise on emerging trends.
The tailored executive education programme contains modules in strategic management, adaptive leadership, public sector innovation, principled negotiation, political innovation and sustainability. For instance, participants will learn how to create and apply “public value propositions” that command legitimacy from a variety of stakeholders.
Delivered by leading academics at the University of Oxford, the programme will provide valuable insights into the social, political and environmental context in which organisationsoperate. Furthermore, participants will benefit from gaining a fresh perspective on existing management models and learning from innovative practices utilised by leading organisations and practitioners. Critically, attendees will also join a valuable network with other managers from top organisations all over the world, who take part in programmes at the University of Oxford’s Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment.
The course will be held between 14th and 17th April 2014 in Oxford. Further details – and the opportunity to register for the programme – are available here.
“Executive development with leading academics and the insights of practitioners from the Transformations in Governance, Creating Sustainable Solutions programme provides participants with a new perspective and approach to their own leadership roles. Participants’ engagement with the latest research and best practice cases will help prepare them for the challenges of governing in a changing world “, said Dr Caitlin McElroy Research Fellow at the University of Oxfords’ Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment
Alim Abubakre, CEO, These Executive Minds (TEXEM) added; “Many senior executives already acknowledge that governance challenges in emerging economies hamper their ability to foster inclusive and sustained growth within organisations and nations. The issue addressed in this programme is how transformations in governance can offer sustainable solutions to the myriad of challenges that these organisations face. The programme will enhance participants’ expertise and their conceptual foundation while challenging assumptions and empowering them as leaders to shape and strengthen their organisations’ performance, with a view towards achieving national prosperity.”
