IMI520 Strategic Leadership Initiative (8)
Abstract| A Strategic Leadership Initiative refers to actions designed to bring about a shift from one leadership approach to another and as a consequence a shift in strategy that achieves measurable improvement in organisational performance. This is an applied subject in which students form teams to implement a strategic improvement idea, from inception to completion. Teams identify whether the whole process or part will provide a basis for their final outcomes report. The proposed Initiative is endorsed by relevant senior management and an academic support team provides guidance in its development. |
