Senior Leadership Development Programme (SLDP)

The Senior Leadership Development Programme (SLDP) will provide you with the opportunity to reflect on your leadership style and capacity and to immerse yourself in the latest thinking about best practice in leadership. The programme will provide you with the resources and knowledge to improve your capacity to lead your organisation into the future, through and with your people.

The programme is designed to assist executives to develop expertise to lead change and transformation, to work more effectively in uncertain environments, to harness technology and to align the organisations strategy to performance and the achievement of results. Business simulations and case studies are integrated into the programme for optimal experiential learning, often in teams, supported by a blended learning 24/7 access to cutting edge, relevant sources of knowledge and experience, to enhance your learning as you need it.

Executive coaching and mentoring, as well as a cutting edge business simulation are key features of the programme, which each delegate undertakes, and which runs the length of the programme. The programme is underpinned by a team of executive coaches, who work one on one with you to develop your unique set of leadership skills.
